From what I understand this is about rerouting traffic, Oxford isn’t built for modern traffic, so they are trying to get people to take the ring road instead of driving through the center.
People seem to belive they will be prisoners in their part of town, which of course is hyperbole. You can walk, ride a bike or take the ring road. If you insist on driving through the center of town and your free rides are up, there’s a 7£ fee.
So you watched it and you came out with the revelation that this is about a ring road? lol, then you are asleep and have no idea what is going on in Oxford. There are bypasses all over Britain for many towns so that traffic does not go through small towns and cities but this is not what this is about. The very name of it (15 minute city) should explain enough that this has nothing to do with a ring road. Even the fine you are talking about is nonsense. You missed the part about being able to travel from your part of the city to another with your 'pass' per household?
This woman is driven by fear just as you are. Do you really belive that they will imprison people for no reason? This is politicians inventing new taxation for problems they created.
My city implemented road tolls using the same system to ”save the climate” and clear the roads. Even though far cheaper and no free rides, except for weekends, and the absence of a ring road. People would at first drive far to avoid the toll, later they got used to it and the toll is higher and traffic is worse. Climate is the same and we pay more tax.
The system was temporary but is of course here to stay.
Taxation drive these ideas and I belive that is what the protest is about. People that are trying to make us look like fools, successfully, are hijacking the protest.

glowie has made an appearance. Muh, nothing to see here 🙄
Total agree, glowie in our midst.
This is not an argument, are we not looking for truth here anymore?
We are all about the truth but you are not. Posting that a 15 minute city is really about a ring road. Get real.
Do you have any proof of this, even official sources calling this a 15 minute city?
No its not, educate yourself then here - https://greatawakening.win/p/16a9znTkmK/katie-hopkins-explains-the-15-mi/c/
I watched it, please ”educate” me how I was wrong.
