![]() Apparently lockdowns in Paris were great social moments. The BBC thinks it’s totally normal for the government to decide who your friends are. Chaired today by London mayor Sadiq Khan, C40 calls itself a ‘network of mayors of nearly 100 world-leading cities collaborating to deliver the urgent action needed right now to confront the climate crisis’. The concept of the 15-minute city was born with ‘ C40’. What if your wife has a job in one zone, your son goes to uni in another, and your work or sports club with lifelong friends is in a third? Should you sell the family home, and send the kids to boarding school? ![]() Under the new scheme residents will be allowed to leave their zone a maximum of 100 days per year, but in order to even gain this every resident will have to register their car details with the council who will then track their movements via smart cameras round the city. Under the new scheme if residents want to leave their zone they will need permission from the Council who gets to decide who is worthy of freedom and who isn’t. The latest stage in the ’15 minute city’ agenda is to place electronic gates on key roads in and out of the city, confining residents to their own neighbourhoods. Oxfordshire County Council yesterday approved plans to lock residents into one of six zones to ‘save the planet’ from global warming. Residents will be confined to their local neighbourhood and have to ask permission to leave it all to ‘save the planet’. It’s the social credit scheme that starts with your car. What about people who live on the edge of a zone? Will the stupidity of artificial borders mean people quit gyms or shops five minutes away which are in the wrong zone and drive 20 minutes instead? Emissions may rise… You think you have the right to visit your children? Only with permission. You may have to move house, get a new job or get a divorce. But the unintended consequences are vast. If you don’t like the idea of walking to work, and “saving the planet”, they will force you to catch that bus. It’s hard to believe but Oxford City Council is taking the benign idea of solving long commutes and with one hop, skip and a jump they’ve arrived at malignant tyranny.
