Climate Zones in Oxford

 
Rather unusually for HPANWO Voice, I have a local story, one from my home city of Oxford. It seems this "seat of learning" and prime global education centre for the next generation of Illuminati gophers has been listed as a trial area for several authoritarian measures related to climate change alleviation. Two years ago the council designated a number of streets in the city centre as a "zero emission zone" in which all non-electric vehicles would be charged a heavy toll to use them. Since then they have created what they call "local traffic neighbourhoods" in which several roads in residential areas of the city have had bollards erected in the middle of them to prevent them being used by through traffic. This has caused massive congestion on the alternative main roads. Now their new scheme is to ban all private vehicles from certain parts of Oxford, at least during some hours of the day. This would be administered using special traffic lights and automatic number-plate readers to catch violators of the law. In order to drive a vehicle inside these zones, residents will need to apply for a permit. Only those with a working necessity to drive in the zones will be allowed to. The county council has struck back at what they claim is "misinformation" in another article claiming that there will be physical barriers. However, with modern technology a physical barrier is not needed; it would have a purely psychological effect. Source: https://www.oxfordshirelive.co.uk/news/oxfordshire-news/oxfordshire-county-council-respond-viral-7900897. What's more, the council is indeed putting up physical barriers, the aforementioned LTN's. At the moment, most of them are not permanent and are just part of a pilot scheme, but the council so far has been informally pleased with them. Although these changed are not literally a climate lockdown, they are the initial steps one would expect if the council had some form of climate lockdown in the pipeline. I'm sure that this "initiative" was not invented by the council and comes from the recent World Economic Forum conferences where climate change was raised continuously as the new monster to replace the pandemic as a pretext for dictatorial world government. If you've read this and are saying to yourself: "Good job I don't live in Oxford!", think again. Oxford is just the start, the guinea pig to test it on before it is rolled out across the country and beyond. It's important to resist in any way you can.

Where do they get these insane ideas from? Unbelievable!! I think you have a point though, Ben about it being used in other cities. We should all be keeping an eye on this.

UK Column did a report about it this week in their news programme and it seems that electric vehicles won't be given special treatment, despite the fact they are supposed to be "Eco-friendly."

Hi Glow Tone.
So far OCC have not made special allowances for electric vehicles in the new scheme, but for several years now electric cars, vans and buses have been allowed in the "zero emission zone". This is one of the reasons the local buses went hybrid. Trust UK Column to be on the case. We'll no doubt see more plans like this attempted.
Thanks for commenting.

It's also happening in Canterbury.

How about that? An ancient seat of learning and knowledge together with a sacred place of the English church... Coincidence?
