In The Flesh: The Oxford Anti-LTN March
What really went down at the anti-Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) march last weekend
JJ Starky
Some protests are torrid affairs. Others can prove enlightening. The march last Saturday in the heart of Oxford was the latter.
Attendees rocked up nearly 2 hours before the scheduled meet, poised with their homemade placards, ready to dissent. It was truly an eclectic mix. Tweed jackets juxtaposed grey baggy trackies, edgy high-tops contrasted brown Chelsea boots, dreadlocks neighboured crew cuts, with all unified under one mission – to say no to Oxfordshire County Council’s creeping authoritarianism.
Last year, the Council announced plans to impose Low Traffic Neighbours (LTN) across the city. Councillors justified the £6.5 million schemes by declaring that they will “greatly reduce” motor vehicle traffic in residential streets. They purport to achieve this by two means. First, bollards will be placed to block off certain streets. Second, LTN zones will be designated and monitored by cameras recording license plates, so if residents drive in zones they have not purchased a permit for, they will be fined. Upon that fine being ignored, they would likely be jailed.
Multiple consultations were then held late last year. The response from locals was overwhelming. 65% of them wholly disapproved. Only 7% endorsed the proposals in another consultation. With some notably citing, the schemes would make certain journeys up to 10 times longer. Acclaimed actress Florence Pugh’s father, who owns a shop in a LTN-designated area, revealed the council failed to consult local shop owners like him. He likewise expressed frustration over footfall decreases since lockdowns and how LTN’s were almost guaranteed to worsen the situation.
At 1pm on the dot, the speeches began. Several speakers took the stage but one 12-year-old girl stole the show. The anti-Greta, if you will.
There she stood, impressively reading out a pre-written speech that progressively exposed the irrationality behind the council’s plans point-by-point. Crowd members clapped intermittently. And then came the punchline, “To Klaus Schwab…”, she paused, “how dare you!”. Everybody loved it. Children in politics should really be a no no. But to witness an anti-woke one actively fighting to preserve her freedom rather than simping for the current political vogue, by God it was refreshing.
Admittedly, we may or may not have popped to the pub to down a quick ale at this point before rejoining. So we missed the start of the march. When we rejoined, we were confused. The crowd had nearly quadrupled in size.
Chants of freedom rang aloud for the better part of the next 2 hours. Plenty of bypassing youths looked perplexed. Some took videos with disapproving smirks. You could almost see them twitching their thumbs in anticipation of posting about the Alex Jones loons they’d just seen. Several cab drivers beeped their horns in support, smiling and waving vigorously as they did. It was an out and out, peaceful success.
Only the next day did we see coverage of Antifa agitators. Apparently, a dozen or so turned up but were quickly cordoned off by police and dispersed after a bloke trolled them with a hearty rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life”. Then came the barrage of articles from various local and legacy media journalists.
The Oxford Mail tainted marchers by highlighting that a “Neo-Nazi” was in attendance. LBC’s James O’Brien labelled everyone attending “conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers”. But one journalist, Dave Vetter, went further and purveyed in what can only be called live gaslighting.
According to Vetter, live-tweeting his perspective, it was an “intoxicating mix of far-right conspiracy slogans, antisemitism and really terrible hip-hop”. He concluded “the rally is, at heart, a climate denial protest”.

In reality, while there were some radical deductions espoused, these were minute, the vast majority of people were simply expressing their desire not to be restricted by local government. No signs we saw referred to Jewish people. And the hip-hop was a sheer sight better than what Vetter is probably capable of. Tellingly, Vetter only mentioned the word freedom once in his thread, which is slightly strange, provided it was the most common word featured on placards. Instead, the likes of the Oxford Mail, O’Brien, and Vetter focused on sporadic elements, deploying typical guilt-by-association devices designed to reassure readers that all these crackpots aren’t to be taken seriously.
Vetter then linked a “video explainer” at the end of his thread to show how 15-minute-cities are a “win for everyone”. From the get-go, again, the presenter gaslights. Ominously, we are told a strain of opposition (virus-connotations likely intended) is growing that is fatally misunderstanding these schemes for “open air prisons enforced by a police state from their enclosed zone”.
So let’s recap: Oxford Council proposes plans to restrict and regulate traffic in the city. They ignore locals’ obvious rejection. Planned rollouts of the scheme continue with the council investing in cameras to monitor and fine those in breach of the scheme – sounds quite authoritarian to me. Again, there was no mention of infringements on freedom. Nor was there any reference to the clear subversion of local democracy, which is more or less a facade nowadays.

Entirely absent from almost all coverage is the money that Oxfordshire County Council stands to make.
According to citizen journalist, Dulwich Clean Air, Southwark council issued 37,006 PCN fines to drivers going through 5 ANPR cameras (same as Oxford intends to use) in Dulwich’s LTN zone in only 65 working days in May 2021. That amounted to £4,810,780, which is £74,012 per day. Oxford has an estimated population of about half that of Southwark. That equates to roughly £37,000 in fines per day and £13,505,000 a year.
No wonder Oxfordshire Council want to join the party…
What the protest really showed, however, is as much as national governments are guilty of a mission creep towards a kind of plastic moral governance, so are local councils. Per Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for travel and development strategy, Duncan Enright’s own words, these schemes are “going to happen definitely” (whether the public like it or not).
In short, we know better. So the herd must follow our moral plans even if they disapprove. It is the same existential issue afflicting government at the national level. Turns out, it has captured government at the local level too. The ends justify the means for these legislators. Until that is reversed at both macro and micro-level, these protests will grow in number.
Dozens upon dozens of councils across the UK, meanwhile, announce similar traffic schemes to dissenting choruses.

Where’s Captain Gatso when you need him?
Just wrote a comment to Fox News about climate deniers versus truth. Truth is a hard concept to erase. No matter how hard the leftists push, the truth stands firm. They are liars and they don’t even know it. Repeating the crap being spewed by the United Nations sponsored climatologists IS the problem. Disband and defund the United Nations and all of our problems will go away. It is clear. I am sickened every time I read a story about a conflict falling back to a United Nations resolution. What the fuck. It is time to erase them. Permanently.
We all need to give up our cars and holidays and eat bugs and live inside a 15 minute compound to change the weather and keep Little Greta and the polar bears happy. Because those are our democracy human rights values and we have to preserve our freedumbs and that’s just who we are and anything else is racist, homophobic and anti semitic.

Occurrences like the one described in the article confirm why V for Vendetta was made about a revolution in the UK rather than somewhere else. Leaders in the UK have shown themselves to be absolute totalitarians. Time and time again. Remember remember the Fifth of November.

(Was that fortuitous or are some of the more outlandish Ickean claims about “natural” disaster manufacture accurate?) Then a note on how “the Ukraine war” is “exacerbating health needs, including for mental health and psychosocial support, rehabilitation, treatment for diseases like chronic diseases and others such as cancer, HIV and tuberculosis, and vaccinations for measles, polio and pneumonia and” of course “COVID”. “WHO has delivered nearly 3,000 metric tonnes … of life saving medical supplies including ambulances, generators, medicines for chronic diseases and trauma and surgery emergency supplies to Ukraine since the start of the conflict.” Just pause there for a consideration of the staggering cost given over to this manufactured catastrophe.

Here’s an article from globalresearch.ca debunking “Climate Change.” Unfortunately, what it succeeds in doing is debunking itself. It falls for the same red herring as the IPCC reports; namely, that Climate Change is ALL about CO2 and therefore bunk.
It points out how essential CO2 is for life – especially plant life. However, as with water, it is possible to get too much of a good thing. Eight ounces of water is very good for living beings; eight feet may not be. And so on.
It’s a very long article. But just keep repeating to yourself: CO2, CO2, CO2; and you’ll come through it okay.
1500 Scientists Say ‘There Is No Climate Emergency’ – The Real Environment Movement Was Hijacked – Global ResearchGlobal Research – Centre for Research on Globalization
Looks like its saying that climate change is not caused by CO2 caused by humans and cows, thus the IPCC contention that climate is caused by humans and cows is bunk.
That’s exactly what it’s saying. Which is why it’s saying nothing. CO2 is much more complex than simply an atmospheric reading. It gets caught up in feedback loops and turns rather sinister.
This is driven by central government, which is spending our money to make our lives a misery.
Add this to the list of other major crimes against humanity and the Gallows offer the only permanent solution.
Yes, this attitude that says, we’re going to do this whether our electors like it or not, seems to be a disease of the modern West.
I seem to recall Annalena Baerbock saying similar with regard to Germany’s involvement with Ukraine.

The Tony Blair Institute come out with a paper pushing “innovation” and, as if it’s co-ordinated, up this pops in the Fraud: https://dumptheguardian.com/technology/2023/feb/23/almost-40-of-domestic-tasks-could-be-done-by-robots-within-decade I find it interesting because the seams of the design in the propaganda are so obvious. Why 40%? The largest round number that’s not “most” or “the majority”. The lists of tasks robots will and will not supposedly perform have clearly been selected from market research regarding what people feel comfortable with robots doing. Of course robots will be bringing up the children and “caring” for the elderly. They position the issue as a choice between convenience and privacy. They reckon most will choose the former – and will only have themselves to blame. Putting the squeeze on them (by, oh I don’t know, more home working with external monitoring and increased inflation so people have to work more to make ends meet) might just give them… Read more »

I keep referencing Godfrey Reggio’s 1983 film “Koyaanisqatsi” and the 1988 follow up “Powaqqatsi.” These films really opened my eyes to the enormity of humanity’s ability to carve up the Earth in its mad rush to extract all of its riches.
And now fast forward 20 yeas, and people like James Corbett (who I otherwise regard as a voice of reason) are still saying there’s no way we can ever exhaust the earth’s resources. We already have! And, as you’ve been saying, the Earth is ready to put a stop to it.
For a hundred years or more, human habitat has been reorganized to require citizens to buy and drive cars. We live “here”; but we work “there”; and we shop yet somewhere else. The joyride is over.
Don’t forget ‘Naqoyqatsi’, Howard.
I’m afraid I simply threw up my hands at that film. It was too esoteric for me to comprehend.
Oh come on sucker Noddy-btls! You can do better than a mere five downvotes. 😂 😂 😂
You were something of a Johnny-Come-Lately with your comment – otherwise you would have receive the lion’s share of downvotes. It seems very few readers bother with articles more than a day old.
Current maketing seems to highlight chatbots sold as robots, and the elderly who find them meaningful. Anything to head off bad reports on the general plight of the elderly.

I wonder how many more pieces of the jigsaw are required for the sheep to wake up?
Paul
You would have to triumphantly bang the last piece in with a hammer whilst singing ” I did it my way” accompanied by a full orchestra and a Red Arrows flypast and searchlights sweeping the completed jigsaw.
And they will still say you’re a swivel-eyed loon.
Well in fairness you might be …
Paul, I like sheep. I don’t think the criticism of sheep in alt media circles is always fair.
Keep taking the medication John.
It’s called humour Paul.
Sounds to me like it’s you who’s in need of medication if you are triggered by that …
I too am uncomfortable equating people with sheep – with any creature in fact. Sheep, wolves, lions, tigers, bears, bulls: most people seem to “fit” one of those categories.
It’s bad enough we do our best to exterminate these other beings; must we also appropriate their very names (bestowed upon them by us, of course) for ourselves?
It was just a bit of fun really Howard, but yes, I agree.
Sheep are effectively man made, like cattle, dogs and cats and so on. They were created by breeding from wild ancestors. Modern humans too are tame domestic animals. Which explains why the global scamdemic was possible.
And when it all finally happens, Paul, the normies just say it must be the right thing to do, or else authority wouldn’t do it. See how they think?

Days ago the Russian MoD (Ministry of Defense) released this statement — Ahead of the Eleventh Emergency Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Kiev regime continues preparing for a major provocation to accuse the Russian Federation of allegedly ‘gravely violating’ the obligations of the Convention on Nuclear Safety during the special military operation — To implement this provocation several containers with radioactive substances were delivered to Ukraine from the territory of a European country without passing through customs inspection. These containers will be used to stage local contamination of a region close to one of the radiation hazardous facilities controled by the Kiev regime — The provocation is aimed at accusing the Russian Armed Forces of alegedly launching indiscriminate strikes on radiation-hazardous facilities in Ukraine, leading to the leakage of radioactive substance and terrain contamination.’ ….cont.,.

When Italy went into lockdowns in Spring 2020 they did not do it nationally at first. It was a set of progressively more restrictive decrees that were placed upon certain areas of certain regions, mainly in villages and cities in the Lombardy region at the outset. Citizens were told to stay home and were banned from entering certain areas with fines levied for those who transgressed. You could move about within these quarantined areas but not from one to the next. These areas were called ‘red zones.’ I believe this was a “pilot project” used to test, among other things, levels of compliance. As the Covid program moved forward the number of regions that established ‘red zones’ expanded. It is not too difficult to imagine a scenario where such an attempt, with national characteristics, would be rolled out in numerous locations across Europe and the UK based on the cooked… Read more »
The Universe came from chaos, perhaps with chaos we can bring these Psychoturds undone.
It did?
Well sure! – Read your Dryden:
When nature underneath a heap
Of jarrring atoms lay,
And could not heave her head,
A tuneful voice was heard from high:
etc etc
is that so!
The main excuse in this case is climate change. Presumably, the overlords, and their limousines and personal planes, are exempt.
Another problem with implementing this in US is the bigger distances and crumbling roads, bridges, etc.
Oh yes, they are exempt. Freight and passenger ships and aircraft will be banned whilst private jets and yachts will be allowed. It’s a climate thing, man.
‘Plannedopolis’ says quite explicitly that the only people driving cars are the very rich. You might remember that one – it’s where they say “eating meat? I didn’t know it’s your birthday”.
One of the first red zones established very early in 2020 in Germany was a little town in Bavaria, about 6000 inhabitants. I was born in the neighbouring town, so I went home to see up close what was happening. And indeed, police had blocked all road access (I drove around the town only to meet a police car at every entrance). The only people who got a permission to get out were ‘essential workers’ like the care workers, coming to help my mom. They were all dumstruck but also panicky and no one really questioned the measures. I didn’t try bicycle rides at night across field lanes but I guess they would have had drones flying.
So, the blue print is there and it can be done quite easily. And that’s the countryside not even cities.
Nobody allowed out without a pass!!!
(It worked in South Africa.)
‘Councillors justified the £6.5 million schemes by declaring that they will “greatly reduce” motor vehicle traffic in residential streets.’ The public didn’t realise that its they themselves who make up most of the vehicle traffic in residential areas. Most transient traffic tends to stick to main thoroughfares, if they are provided by town planners. So the big idea seems to be to restrict your local travel whilst copping the blame for decades of bad planning! Come on people, the global warming is nonsense. Hence the title was dropped after a decades of use. It disappeared up its own Ozone hole and reappeared as ‘climate change’. Which Einstein at the IPCC thought that one up? The 15min cities, the food restrictions, the travel restrictions, and ultimately, the coming bans & fines & re=education camps, all stem from ‘global warming’ which had to be redefined as ‘climate change’ because it was no… Read more »
They tried “the new ice age” first for climate change for a couple of years in the 1970s until the hot summers of 1975 and 1976 made it incredible. The TV programme heralding the new ice age can still be seen – hilariously they got Leonard Nimoy to host it because nothing said “science” like Dr. Spock.
So Ed: the Thames freezing over for several winters five centuries ago didn’t happen? And Norse mariners a thousand years ago didn’t find grapes growing in Newfoundland, leading them to christen North America in their sagas ‘Vinland the Good’? At that time they were even able to grow barley in Greenland. Climate shifts up and down in a complex cycle, blending together several different natural cosmic processes, each with its own periodicity, as it does. The bulk of it concerns the Earth’s varying distance from the Sun, and the consequent varying of insolation, though the Younger Dryas episode seems to suggest that occasional erratic asteroid strikes can have dramatic effects too. AGW, otoh, seems to be a very minor, and recent, contributor. The fact of the matter is that we little human farties have no clear way to predict what the climate will do in the future. But looking at… Read more »
I think those who presently live in america will confirm that the planet isn’t warming.
There are some signs which may give those who believe the planet is cooling some credibility. Record amounts of ice in the Arctic, low solar activity are just a few pointers.
Also our winter season seems to be getting longer. For the last few years at least, winter seems to be giving way to summer, with a very short spring time inbetween.
It’s all conjecture for the moment, apart from the ‘climate change’ and ‘global warming’ nonsense pushed by the IPCC. That has been debunked over and over. To know what the future holds we have to listen to mother nature and not suits in gov’t.
I remember we were going to have to fight off the polar bears and packs of timber wolves every time we went out to post a letter or buy a pint of milk. But the bears and wolves disobligingly refused to show up.
Well said Peter. I’d just add that although local councils rightly get the flak for LTNs, “15 Minute City” and “20 Minute Neighborhood” schemes when they seek to impose them undemocratically, it’s actually central government where most of the funding and drive for these globalists schemes comes from.
We can demand that funding to councils for the imposition of these schemes ceases immediately by contacting Mark Harper, the current transport secretary on: [email protected]
Thanks for the email link. I’ll let him know my feelings. You are correct in stating that local councils are getting the flak for what is a global NWO policy. Our rogue gov’t is merely passing on these instructions given to them, to give to local councils. The NWO want to implement their tyranny and make it seem like local decisions, made by locals. The rogue western gov’ts will then operate as bag men for the NWO. Many of these Councillors are not from a scientific background. They understand nothing of science and what they have been told by gov’t ‘scientists’ is all bogus. It’s what to expect from a rogue gov’t who wants to profit whilst they increase your misery with yet more ill-thought climate nonsense. I will repeat the statement above because it is important and is the means by which the NWO intend to implement their control… Read more »
Well said, Peter. Just a few quibbles: Anthropogenic global warming may well be a fake. Studying the work of the dissident scientists, I’m inclined to think so too. But Peak Everything, and most particularly Peak Energy, isn’t. Deny that as we please, it’s coming to get us. And there’s no such thing as a “basic right to travel with a fossil fuel engine” 😂 That’s been (past tense) a mere privilege that we of the world’s Pampered Twenty Percent have awarded ourselves briefly; leaving out the Abused and Deprived Eighty Percent, of course. But we too shall be learning to do without that in future. Regardless of the authoritarian fantasies of the powers that shouldn’t be, that will be happening anyway. If there happens to be anyone amongst either the editorial group or the btls here who is actually open to cold-blooded reality on this over-riding matter, this… Read more »
There is a basic right to travel. The choice for doing so will be in the hands of others who couldn’t care less about people’s rights or wishes. You may well know that this planet has gone through many cycles of cooling and warming. All the planets in our solar system do the same. What we are experiencing is an attempt to control and has nothing to do whatsoever with the climate, or saving humans, now or in the future. We still have massive pockets of oil and gas which remain undiscovered. The USA have reserves they haven’t even tapped. We hear quite regulary of such discoveries. This means that we very probably have enough oil for the next few hundred years at least. So why the panic? we have enough time to develop something else that works as well as a petrol or diesel engine. The alternative we have… Read more »
Peter, please look a little deeper – well, a whole lot deeper actually – into fossil-hydrocarbon realities; particularly the crucial, but little-grasped, idea of EROEI – energy returned on energy invested (also known as ECoE: energy cost of energy). Trending inexorably down towards its cut-off ratio as we watch. Most of the low-EROEI fossil-hydrocarbons will stay deep in the ground, because – well – why waste more energy getting them out, transporting and processing them than the finished product actually yields…? Net loss of energy! Oh yes, very ‘sustainable’. 😂 That alone (and there are other insuperable barriers as well; see links below) means that the hopeless fantasy of ‘loads more oil still available; loads more still to find’ is just that: a hopeless fantasy. As is the idea of ‘some alternative form of energy beyond fossil-hydrocarbons and just as portable and energy-dense’, Name one? Name any current… Read more »
I had heard about Oxford’s plans but didn’t know that other areas were already implementing it, much less that it was a serious cash cow.
Some means of restricting traffic is necessary but this is likely not the best way to go about it. Its just the simplest way which coincidentally makes a lot of money for minimal investment — the perfect business model. (Especially for the contractors that set up and administer the scheme — I’d be very surprised if it was implemented by the council, they’re just in the business of selling the rights for a percentage. Anyone know for sure?) I would have no argument with this is public transport was of sufficient quantity and quality to make driving unnecessary. But that would require too much investment and wouldn’t be a money spinner so its off the table.

It is fascinating to see how badly the left lost their marbles over covid. As soon as they see even mild questioning of the pandemic response they assume without thinking that the skeptic must be a far right extremist, fascist, antisemitic etc. They are batshit crazy! RedfireOnline.com is ok too btw.
I hadn’t even heard of this event — not reported down here in NZ. Thanks for filling us in on it.
Re-think what media you are using.
BTW it’s a great pity that OffG didn’t have an article on it before the protest.

I read plenty of alternative media, both left and right (to use out of date terms). Somehow I missed this one. And I read Off Guardian every day.
That might have something to do with your current location.

Because as we know, there are known pronouns; there are pronouns we know we know. We also know there are known unknown pronouns; that is to say we know there are some pronouns we do not know. But there are also unknown unknown pronouns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

He caved in like any good career politician.
Corbyn had his shot and the establishment took him down.
Every institiution has been infiltrated unbeknown to the sheep while they gazed into their screens. That mission is complete, more depop coming soon.
Isn’t “good career politician” an oxymoron? 😉
The hard tongue in cheek as I typed was awfully painful.
Are those surveillance cameras, like Superman, indestructible?
The bollards certainly aren’t. Mostly flimsy plastic things (in Oxford anyway). Even the metal ones, secured with padlocks, can be removed with some effort — check out the spanner method of removing padlocks… it works…
The newer ones have lazer cannons.
In another transportation area– they’ve figured out what caused the East Palestine derailment: “A surveillance video caught an overheated wheel bearing in the last stage of function.”
I kid you not!
These are usually caught by automated surveillance equipment, so called “Defect Detectors” that are positioned at regular intervals along the track. They are necessary because a typical freight train in the US is can be over a mile long with anything up to a thousand axles or more so its to practical to perform frequent manual inspections.

The 1% ruling class has had 75 years to design a solution to pollution, congested traffic, too many cars, and long lines. When they regulated and implemented society into giant box stores and wiped out small local block by block pedestrian business neighborhoods they created the dystopian, polluted, long-lined and congested lives WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO ACCEPT today. By occupying government rule and assuming it then has authority over the 99%, this ruling class has removed any authority governing themselves and rule over us as parents over children. They live in their own bubble of anarchy, rulerlessness, where they do anything they want. All of this needs to be reversed. We the 99% must rule over ourselves with recorded and agreed upon consent formulas in a direct democracy. We need to rule over limits to wealth and poverty, so that vast capitalist wealth cannot dictate dystopian futures for Humanity.… Read more »
Exactly Sandy: “We need to rule over limits to wealth and poverty so that vast wealth cannot dictate”
I’ve been saying for three years now: We need to start talking about the fairest way to disseminate the ill-gotten gains of TPTB. Freedom cannot be had while they control the means of our survival.
Issuing and regulation of the money supply needs to be taken away at once, as well as lands that should be returned to productive small farms. Pharmaceutical gains from the horrid vaxx should be dedicated to healing those injured by it. Etc, etc,
Designate meeting places in every locale and meet to decide how we’re going to divide it up. It’s our consensus that matters.
Can’t see that happening as long as the SMUG middle class act as evil enablers to social collapse.
And slaves to consumerism and convenience.
Absolutely true but the 20-30 something Proletariat have little or no interest in politics. They are far too busy humping, drinking and all the rest.
Johnny– It won’t just “happen”– unless we MAKE it happen by talking about it. Talking about it moves what we are talking about into the “possible”; into the “to be considered.”
An agenda which sounds radical and impossible becomes less so when it’s discussed. Y’all are so willing to condemn others as “sheep”, but YOU aren’t willing to take even the simple step of introducing a necessary part of the solution into discussion.
Absolutely Penelope. Ideas come before action. If we do not discuss options and solutions we’ll never get anywhere. If we keep saying “oh, that will never happen”, it will never happen and the ruling class 3% will win without lifting a finger.
Unfortunate we cannot, yet, meet and discuss and vet ideas. As a brief response, I suggest reading David Graeber’s works. Read Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia for a fiction vision of the egalitarian world we want to live in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotopia
Here is my suggestion for an interim solution to a full direct democracy using the existing system as a host for the bottom 90%’s authority-to-decide here…
https://sandys.art/peoples_policy+budget_directives_ballot_2018.html
They are also the ones who wrecked the education system creating “the school run” creates vehicular mayhem twice a day. People driving their children to school are like shipwreck survivors swimming to the few remaining rafts.
Absolutely. The issues are unlimited and we need to take the authority-to-decide, not the 1%.
a maximum wage of £1000 per week as well as everyone being payed the same no matter what their job sounds like a step in the rite direction seeing as everyone’s time is as valuable as everyone else’s
Absolutely. Limits to poverty and wealth are a lesson we are now seeing after they’ve nearly stolen everything off the table.

Watched the video of the young lass giving her speech.. She was brilliant..
I love it when the antifa mob turn up.. They stick out as the bunch of complete asswipe establishment tools that they are in comparison to the broad and colourful church of everyday people who love life.
From the same production, who brought you rebel media in davos and puke project vatrias fake whistleblower series!
Give it a week, the young lass actress that give that xfactor performance and will have her own show on Shill bnews /Daily Caller, she be stirring Covid Committee Panels with pseudo Ceo Mike yeadon and RKF and Robert what a load of balony Malone and taking Oxford to court with Reiner Fuellmich.
You people are so fucking gullible
Trolling pessimism and defeatism, switchedON? You recommending we just give up & embrace Klaus?
I’ve notice that whenever there’s a good suggestion or some optimism you guys come out of the woodwork. Who you working for?
A real possibility. But let’s wait and see.
Like a television series with 6 or so characters but wheres the beaver?
Reducing CO2 is her line of argument. You’ve been had.
Ironically, the idea of people using their cars less would probably benefit us all but they’ve got it the wrong way round. You don’t start with the stick – you offer a carrot. It should start 5 years ahead of implementation with a vast improvement in public transport which should be free. All elderly and / or disabled drivers as well as delivery and emergency vehicles should be able to go wherever they want / need so no bollards could be constructed. With incentives not to drive, people will eventually move away from car ownership but only if the alternative is viable and reliable.
We wouldn’t need any restrictions whatsoever if certain technology which would allow everybody unlimited amounts of genuinely green energy hadn’t been suppressed for decades and continues to be so.. We could all have been driving around in cars powered completely by water.. Stan Meyer’s brilliant invention cost him his life:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=staL1wr07Sg
And of course there are cars which run on compressed air.. Perfect for built up residential areas..
How does the air get compressed? Oh, energy. 😀
And how does water provide energy, unless you’re talking about the energy-draining process of extracting hydrogen from the water?
Missing the point mate.. Air pollution in cities is an issue for folks health.. Continue to drive around in our petrol/diesel cars as we do in rural areas and long distance.. No problem.. Where there’s higher traffic volume in densely populated areas it makes sense to have cars that don’t pump out the exhaust fumes.. No need for nonsense schemes like 15 minute cities if air powered cars were manufactured and made affordable for city use.. Of course we all know on here (apart from the trolls) that the 15 minute city is part of a more sinister agenda, but folk are led to believe there’s no viable alternative.. I’ve not got a problem with using energy to fill the compressed air tanks.. Pretty cheap for a full tank.
Air powered cars … well you’re certainly running on hot air Captain.
But in fact,–since global warming’s a hoax– there’s no problem w our continuing to use petrochemicals until we’ve got something better and cheaper.
No, this is not correct.
Are they going to stop the endless fleet of Amazon Fulliment trucks from delivering the synthetic crap door to door?
No, they shouldn’t start with a carrot. They should start with the 1%ers.
Ironically, the idea of people using their cars less would probably benefit us all
Unironically, I couldn’t disagree more. Perhaps you would like to expand on these alleged benefits?
I agree, we should all do more walking or cycling. However, the car has got its top spot of being the preferred way to travel because it is so convenient. In these days of convenience sold to us by corporations and gov’t, we are told that we cannot use the most convenient method of travel ever invented by man.
The people pushing for these changes are fanatics. Allowing fanatics to take over has never ended well. They are blinkered thinkers who have done most of their thinking inside the box.
There are lots of ways to deal with congestion, but this NWO directive isn’t about relieving congestion.
This is the new frontier of the Covid con. Urban planning as a WEF weapon.
Thanks for publishing this, I only became aware of 15 Minute Cities last week. A virtue-signaling SJW at my workplace sent an email company-wide about how great they are…I knew I better start digging into it.
“Urban planning”?
More like prison planning.
Do you have a Smart phone? You are carrying your prison with you.
Yes, yes and yes, when will people wake up. Smart phones stupid people.
True. But prisons always have multiple layers of security.
Not me, no.
I’m not a fan of smart phones, but I don’t think that a comparison with prisons is valid, to be quite honest.
The Smart phone is the 21st Century version of the Panopticon. As to your opinion, how much have you looked into Surveillance Capitalism? With the Smart phone they are tracking your physical location, anything conversation you are having on the phone and who you are having it with, they are tracking any online search, websites, videos, anything at all you do on the phone. The Smart phone can even listen in on face to face conversations when you are not even using your phone. All that info is saved, flagged, cataloged and sold to data mining companies.
Tom, I get your point. I got it in the first place.
You might prefer a prison sentence to owning a smartphone, but given the choice, I’m having the phone.
I hope you recognize that is a false choice. I assume that for both of us neither is facing a prison sentence (which would not be a choice you’d be “given”). However, by using a Smart phone, most of the surveillance aspects of being in prison are similar. It is sort of like being on parole w/o being aware of it. Assuming you are aware of the surveillance abilities of Smart phones and still want to use one, then you have made a choice that you don’t care about being surveilled. To quote Simon Elmer: “Convenience breeds compliance.”
Highwaymen (bandits) and pirates have quite a lot in common. They hijack the unwary traveler and will not allow passage until a bounty is paid…
How will emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire fighting equipment pass through these proposed bollards? Really well thought out, guys… .. .
“Some will rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen”
You forgot they’re trying to kill us…? I don’t think they care about that at all.
I can think of complicated ways (like the locks of a canal) to do that. Some people will make a lot of money, just as from the jabs.
Actually, Paul, I”m on your side but they do have “smart” bollards which collapse when approached by emergency vehicles. Just saying.
Geeeze! I guess “smart” bollards succeeds the old adage, Dumber than a fence post…
In the UK that snake Blair is pushing the digital ID thing along with, of all people, William Hague.
I was always sceptical of all politicians but I had Hague down as nearly human.
It really does show how far the rot and 30 pieces of silver will go.
Don’t know Hague, but Blair…
Among the worst examples of humanity I’ve ever seen, a creature utterly repellent in every particular.
Toady Blaaar ia a true turncoat. He ditched the Tory party when he saw his best chance of gaining power being in the Labour party. So the Labour party adopted a cuckoo for a leader who didn’t espouse to any Labour ideology whatsoever.
The Tories wandered into the wilderness after many years of shafting the public and selling off everything the public had owned and built via public money.
Then Toady ditched the people of Blighty for the NWO and £100 million….and rising.
The carbon tax scam for which Toady is a preferred supplier, will send his fortune soaring. Toady is doing a very important job….for Toady.
It’s entirely appropriate to put an electronic bracelet on the career criminal Blair. Quite how he is out without license is beyond me.
The powers that be will have some very shifty video material featuring him from a den similar to Epstein’s.. He’s still useful to their cause hence he keeps getting rolled out.
I’d prefer one round his neck.

Don’t vote, problem solved.
Perhaps some are trying to sway your opinion for one political party over another, but no one is trying to persuade you not to vote. Why do you think that is?
Not voting has the added benefit of not caring if an article is masquerading as something it isn’t.
I don’t think that solves any problems at all.
They’ll just pretend that we DID vote, and fill in the blanks themselves.
Once GWBush’s brother’s involvement with a company manufacturing voting machines came to light in 2004, voting became totally irrelevant as far as I’m concerned.
There is no longer any excitement in our household while the TV reports the results of counting the ballots late at night.
All the results were planned months in advance. The candidates have but one task: to look fairly amazed at the outcome.
And not all of them are good actors…
Okay then, just keep voting like a puppet on a string 😂. No point in not voting when the whole thing is rigged? The answer from Wardropper and his up-voters is to carry on voting. Fools deserve what they get.

If you’re actually in favor of permanent climate lockdowns, why not just come out and say it? Quit wasting everybody’s with this risible argument that Off-Guardian is somehow ‘mainstream media’. Those of us who’ve been with the Off-G since the beginning know exactly how and why it was founded. I remember this website back in 2015, when your typical article here had 2-3 comments max. The reason I liked the website is because I remembered Kit and Catte from my own days as a Guardian sh*t-poster. We were all constantly getting been and modded for questioning the narrative!
Hypocrisy and Ironic,
isn’t that what I am doing with the articles there posting. And look how you now react that I questioned your religion ‘the O.G articles’.
They now regularly modded commentators for questioning them.
If Icke woke baby and Cia Carlson, U,.k shillum, ShillBc, Daily mail, Richie Allen ShillGbnews is plugging it, then is mainstream media faking it as Alternative.
The above article was mainstream with fake children speech and look how the devotees react when it is pointed out..
Anyone who is truly awakening is aware of this. We should be as objective as possible when receiving information.
The subjects here go round in circles, the level of consciousness is maintained at a certain level. At the beginning of the circus this was a good place to gather info, now I feel it has actually fallen behind the evolution.
Thanks.

I’d probably be in favour of the quiet traffic zones. Don’t really buy the ‘less traffic equals more dystopia’ argument, though I may have missed something.
But at least people are out protesting for what they believe in. Which is progress from a year or so ago.
Agree that the notion of access vs mobility and the reduced congestion is among a number of the elite’s plans to capture the masses in urban centers.
It’s intent and who rules is the problem.
Not sure what you mean by ‘capture the masses’. Urban centres have always had reduced traffic.
If something’s worthwhile (eg less noise, less pollution) then ‘intent and who rules’ become secondary considerations.
You know, if we just got rid of all the people, there’d be no traffic problem at all!
That’s not the point.
The elements that make up a dystopia, by themselves, are not necessarily dystopian.
In fact, some of them, like you say, will bring some benefits like quieter streets.
That’s how it’s sold.
And that’s why they’re so successful.
After all, who could object to saving the planet that we all live on ?
Only a swivel-eyed loon who believes that the WEF wants to run the world from a tropical island with a false volcano that is really a rocket launch pad.
My eyes swivel, don’t yours? Furthermore, it’s a swimming pool (fully functional) and not a volcano.
My eyes swivel like a swivelly man on a swivelly day in swivellville.
I think there is a limit to how much of a dystopia you can build from ‘good bricks’
Basing the argument on lack of consultation is a mistake in my view. Fundamental rights like freedom of movement can’t be taken away even if a temporary majority can be duped into acquiescing to it.
Jasmine’s Greta joke was fun but her more serious point was about why her parents might need to make journeys to a different zone. A middle-aged parent with children who have friends in a different zone and parents in a care home in another zone (hardly an unlikely combination of circumstances) is utterly screwed by these proposals. What are they supposed to do? Everyone knows what TPTB’s real answer is – meet on Zoom or, better still, don’t have a family in the first place.
Finally, there’s no need to be evasive about “climate-denial”. Manmade climate change is pseudo-scientific garbage.
100% the ‘consultation’ is anonymous, by default, try it yourself
I’m a bit worried about using their terms.
Like “zone”
It’s a biosecurity grid.
More like a ghetto.
That comes later, with the equitable housing scheme.
We already have ghettos – thanks to mass immigration.
Bingo
There seems to be an ideological bias within this forum in favor of the notion that mankind is incapable of inflicting significant harm on the planet. Accordingly, manmade climate change HAS to be “pseudo-scientific garbage.”
Yet humans can ionize the atmosphere to allow for better satellite communications; and create earthquakes with ionosphere heaters to keep dissident nations in line; and poke holes in the ozone layer (earth’s premier protective covering) with their endless chemtrails; and cause methane hydrates/clathrates to spew plumes into the atmosphere.
Yet humans are incapable of messing up the climate? Climate is made up of thousands of weather events – events which are easily created and manipulated. But there’s nothing to see here?
Armageddon doth beckon. There will be a new Heaven and a new Earth.
Or there will be two-tiered societies as in The Time Machine, Elysium or Star Trek.
The notion of mankind’s capability of inflicting significant harm on the planet seems a fuzzy one. Strictly speaking “the planet” isn’t going to suffer much in the way of what we do. Whether the delicate eco-systems that we keep hearing about are going to be damaged is a matter that comes under the same category as those micro-medico essays we are subjected to. Well us punters in the street are too course and uncouth to figure such esoteric matters out. But here’s how it looks to me: Three years ago, covid was declared. Covid was presented – and continues to be presented – as an undeniable fact. After all, doesn’t The Science say so? And covid is deadly serious! Covid is a matter of life and death. And covid is a pile of shite. And just as more and more are coming to realise this ….. Climate change springs into… Read more »

They fink we’re stoopid. 😼
The “science” is only about doling out funding to those people deemed worthy.
Howard,
sometimes rationality is a disadvantage.
Like you pointed out, it’s the agencies in the background who are causing the damage. War is one such catastrophic destructive force. This needs to stop. Not everyday human activity.
There is zero evidence in favor of the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis. It is backed entirely by computer models which have failed to predict anything correctly.
Furthermore, less than 1% of “greenhouse gas” emissions on earth are generated by human activity. Its just nonsense.
Quite right; don’t know if I’d say zero change — maybe .001%. The climate has been changing for billions of years — ice caps advancing, then receding, deserts expanding — then retreating. This was long before we humans were on the scene. Do we make a difference? Who knows? Did dinosaurs cause whatever it was that killed them off…maybe they were a lot smarter (or stupider?) than we give them credit for! Which reminds me of that old Far Side cartoon… Sorry, but I don’t know how to attach an image to this post, so I’ll give you the link: https://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?19431-The-real-reason-dinosaurs-became-extinct!

In truth, I blame the dinosaurs; it makes as much sense as the reasons Oxford gives for what it is… Read more »
did dinosaurs even exist?
They were all crisis actors!
Moreover, the carbon-dioxide generated by burning ‘fossil fuels’ isn’t even dangerous. Heck, it’s plant food! Seriously, plants take in carbon-dioxide and through photosynthesis, transform it into … oxygen. Doesn’t sound so scary when you put it like that, now does it!
If you are trying to make the point that a small clique of evil ultra rich and power mad WEF types COULD manipulate weather events enough to cause larger scale, long lasting climate change, you may have a point. Why might they do this? I can think of a few reasons: to reduce our (you and me, folks) numbers; to make us beg them for help and trade our few remaining liberties in exchange for solution to their manufactured problem…etc, etc.
Any evidence they are doing this?
Bias? Or belief? The latter is conscious; the former is not. People here have actual reasons — to my way of thinking, very good ones — for not blindly accepting the ‘global warming’ narrative.
Howard, if you’re interested in WHY many of us disagree w anthropomorphic global warming (Is that the correct term?), here’s a site that explains it better than most:
https://realclimatescience.com/
It will take a lot more than humans to kill this planet. It has been through worse. The chemtrailing will kill humans before the planet suffers much.
If climate can be manipulated then i wonder who has called for massive snow falls across america late into their winter? If weather events can be easily manipulated then farmers need not lose anymore crops.
Edwige is correct. Man made global warming narrative is garbage. Psuedo science meant to confuse, control, and extract wealth. The HARP and stuff is way over played IMO.
The best comparision to make is towards Hunger Games. Many folk have seen that film and on reflection will relate the last 3 years and this as evidence of where we’re heading.
You can be sure that ‘they’ will be organising their agents provocateurs ready for the next one, complete with nazi insignia etc, ready to kick off when the MSM cameras are rolling.
In new York Bloomberg tried to do congestion pricing through the island of Manhattan.
i haven’t heard much of it after then… I know that the rich assholes want it so they don’t have to sit in traffic.
funny how they always cry that raising taxes would make rich people leave…
let’s do it, fuck them, they can live in the country because they don’t have to actually work leave the cities to the people who actually work, fuck your finance parasitism
A lot of the rich assholes did leave, due to a variety of social ills and the Draconian anti-Convid measures imposed by Governor Cuomo. The new Governor is arguably even worse, as is the woke NYC mayor. The population of the city is increasingly composed of poor people and non-workers, ie, non-tax payers.
The rich have enough “inflence” to maintain their privilege through (a) exemptions such as rezoning (b) even new bypass lanes..
15 minute cities – as in the fantasy version, are indeed a win win for everyone. Oxford council simply extorting motorists and residents is a disgrace. Without skillfully planning towns with employment, small business development and good public transport like the 1970s it will not work.
I have come to realize that Urban Planning is inherently anti-democratic and authoritarian.
In the 1970s the NSW Builders Labourers Federation thought so too… That union came up with the Green Bans to stop the inner city “Urban Renewal” (The euphemism for the re-development of inner city suburbs and eviction of the lower classes to allow gentrification)… Sydney could do with that now non-existent union today… It’s world renowned weekend watering hole for the outer suburban working stiffs, Kings Cross, is being gutted (aka Gentrified , & sold to rich foreigners who wont buy into the area if there’s rowdy boozed crowds still hanging about at 3 am, them puking in and using building entrances as pissoirs)…The once vibrant Oxford Street, “the Pink Mile”, route of Sydney’s annual Mardi Gras, is also being gutted, replaced by monstrous highrise warehouse buildings only rich migrants from overcrowded Hong Kong can afford)… ‘Urban Planning’ by any other name has never been democratic… Both major political parties… Read more »
RE: Both major political parties in NSW are the two wings of The Developers Party…
Before Simon Elmer wrote about the Covid World Order, he wrote about housing policy in England. In his research he realised that housing policy was not determined at the municipal level or even the national level. It was determined by international finance. He said that they have no interest in solving “the housing crisis.” They want the housing crisis to be perpetual as is better for real estate and development profits. This is a global phenomenon.
What Simon said is correct, it is a global phenomenon. There’s a highrise warehouse estate, much like in London, not far from Sydney city center. It was in “the news” lately. It’s a storage area for many dependent on social security payments, and disbility pensions. It’s to be ‘re-developed’; current residents will be scattered way out to the outer suburbs, which have fewer local amenities, very bad public transport. Out of sight, out of mind…
Post-pandemic, there’s a big drive to induce more migrants to Australia. Sydney hopes to cram another couple of million in…
Australia’s is heavily dependent on wave after wave of reasonably well-off migrants to keeps its consumer economy buoyant. It uses ‘urban renewal’ (aka re-development) to jettison those who cant consume the level required to be able to stay…
‘jettison from the inner suburbs targeted for ‘re-development’.’
