Surprise! The Blob wants to track your car, limit your travel, get more of your money (but only so they can fix the weather!)
How could they resist? The 15-minute city is the fantasy idea that the unwashed masses can get everything they need within 15 minutes of home. But of course, their family may live somewhere else, as might their favourite dentist. How many old folks in nursing homes will miss out on visits because someone doesn’t want to fill out a permission slip or get a fine?
The UK government has said it will let councils use official databases of drivers licences in order to fine people driving outside their “permitted area”.
Oxford has divided up its city into six areas and is set to start fining people later this year. The head of the Alliance of British Drivers said it was “A page out of the East German playbook.”
If this gets off the ground in the UK, we know it’ll end up here.
Labour opens door to ‘Stalinist’ 15-minute cities across Britain
By Camilla Turner, The Telegraph UK
The most high-profile example of such a plan is in Oxford, where the council put forward proposals to divide the city into six “15-minute neighbourhoods”.
Under the scheme, drivers would need a residents’ permit that allows 100 days of free travel per year through six traffic filters during operating hours.
Meanwhile, a separate permit allows 25 days of free travel per year through six congestion charge locations during charging hours, and after this, drivers face fines if they travel without the relevant permission.
Greg Smith, shadow transport minister, said: “This is the blueprint for a national rollout. Labour has given the green light for draconian councils like Oxfordshire to police how people live, move and drive, using cameras and fines backed by DVLA data.
“Oxford is the test case…
Australians would be wise to prepare the ground for mass protests. The Blob will take as much as they can get until the people scream, so if you’re going to have to protest sooner or later, better to just say “No” now.
How many degrees cooler will our world be with 15 minute cities?
Recall that in Australia the marketing people have rebranded these free range prisons from “15 minute cities” to “20 minute neighbourhoods”, at least in Australia’s most regressive state, Victoriastan.
https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/guides-and-resources/strategies-and-initiatives/20-minute-neighbourhoods
Australia started as a free range prison and it looks like that’s how it will finish unless conservatives do something about it. Get out and vote for pro-freedom conservative parties like One Nation.

According to The Age, 15 minute cities are a “conspiracy theory”. The public were banned from attending meetings for the Yarra Ranges council a few years ago.
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/council-locks-public-out-of-meetings-after-protests-from-conspiracy-theory-groups-20230420-p5d23q.html
It is ridiculous to consider the Yarra Ranges for the 15 minute city plan as it features large rural areas as well as steep terrain surrounded by forest. The council has no credible reason to be looking at such an absurd proposal.
110
Look at United Nations Agenda 21, now Agenda 30 and all Local Government Councils members of the central organisation discussing these impositions, many others as well.
You local Council sends delegates to the regular meetings
100
Yeah. Scary.
68
What they really want is 15-minute people.
270
Everyone gets 15 minutes of fame.
Something along those lines.
Farmerbraun , having been declared an essential person under the supply of Panis et Circenses Regulations, expects to be quite unaffected by all of this.
80
Undertaker????

Looking at the overall programme, undertaking seems to be in a sweet spot; some might say business is “boomering”.
Farmerbraun is more in the panes department, although never eats the stuff itself.
Meat , eggs , dairy and fruits only.

If you think the Iranian revolution is bad just wait until the real Brit revolution gets underway. Anyone seen to be supporting this madness might just become 15 minute supporters enjoying 15 minute funerals. That includes supporters from the head honcho down. Even if they wear funny hats!!

My understanding is that the UK is simmering with pent up anger.
Yet the idiots in charge keep pouring fuel on the fire.
I remain surprised that the country shoppers problems haven’t produced more civil unrest/riots or worse.
I won’t be surprised when, (not if) it does happen though.
The uniparty in the UK is worse than the uniparty in Australia, and that is saying something!

Recently at Sky News an excellent article was published explaining socialism/communism and the UK based Fabian Society of Marxists established late 1800s. There are branches in many countries, here in Australia The Fabian Society and membership mainly from Australian Labor Party.
The Prime Minister since university student activist period has been a follower of the late Russian revolutionary Marxist Leon Trotsky, as are various other Labor members.
70
Correct me if I’m wrong please, but John Howard was/is a Fabian Society member!!
30
Former Liberal Prime Minister John W Howard is not a Fabian and never was.
My memory reminds me of that allegation being a leftist claim years ago but the John Howard was another person, an actor I seem to recall, but not sure
10
Declaration – I have known former PM Howard since I was a teenager and he was a university student studying laws at University of Sydney, and was a Young Liberal Party member at that young age.

COVID restrictions were just the trial run. Didn’t that work so well.
Limited time walks, blocked playgrounds and rings of steel with police attacking Grandmas on the street.
The future looks so bright . . . .

Time and time again Australia has proven its extreme subservience to UN recommendations and decrees, an organisation dominated by corrupt, brutal, Leftist, anti-Western third world dictatorships.
The Australian Government “governs” Australia under such extra-territorial decrees via extensive misuse of Section 51(xxix) of the Constitution and have done so ever since Commonwealth v Tasmania (1983).

I was about to google what that meant when it suddenly struck me.

Welcome to Dystopia.
The bridge at the end of town will be a bridge too far.
Let’s hope such proposals by the Blob prove to be A Bridge Too Far for their ambitions.

‘How many degrees cooler will our world be with 15 minute cities?’
Six degrees of course: it’s always (6), their majick number, same as Carbon (6) on the periodic table, same as 15 (1+5 = 6). It’s a dead giveaway, innit?
Be like Honk and get outta the city,
Oxford’s done for, she ain’t so pretty.
190
The writer is confusing congestion charging with the not unreasonable lifestyle option that everything you might need should be within 15 minutes of your home. Congestion charging is the application of user pays, a free market solution to the problem. It is the very opposite of ‘Stalinism’.
157
Tell us more about this magical 15 number.
Where is the decree that says that this is not an unreasonable number?
210
Well, it might be an attempt to boost the home deliveries sector.
Having scores of car running around as a way of stopping scores of cars running around.
That sounds just like a Government proposal.
230
Of course that’s unreasonable. In a city of 100,000, normally you would find one hospital. How can you possibly provide a hospital within 15 minutes of everybody’s home without building multiple hospitals? That’s a colossal waste of money. Ditto with providing large numbers of schools for the 40 or 50 students whose homes are within 15 minutes of the school, instead of fewer schools with larger numbers of students who happen to live farther away.
230
Small local schools that can be walked to; small medical clinic staffed by a real doctor 15 minutes away.
What’s not to like?
Don’t forget that city people have been deemed non- essential recently. Some put that even more starkly, as in useless eaters.
80
The bizarre fantasy about the “evils” of “city life” brings to mind the (so far) per-capita champion” body-count “champion”. Pol Pot;(Saloth Sar to his num).
The Khmer Rouge DEPOPULATED every “urban” location and “resettled” the survivors, (under armed guard, of course) out in the “pure” countryside. MILLIONS died, generally quite brutally. The best example of “pure socialism”, EVAH!
So, here in the Penal colonies, the “intellectuals” and assorted urban trash have cursed and denigrated the “rural folk for MANY decades.
Watch the wind suddenly shift to the “nobility of an honest life on the land and the move to “concentrate”, as it were, the urban scum. Well, the ones tagged for “special treatment”, anyway.
Join the dots / blood splatters.
Living on the land, be it cropping or grazing, is SKILLED work, at least if you want to survive.
I live in a city, but my family and friends are closer to the “bush”, and all my life I have much preferred “going bush”. A “tree-change”? It is more than that.
There is a line in a Graeme Connors song that goes:
“”…Home is not where you’re born,
Home is where a man is prepared to die”.
71
government monitoring of how we live and move is EXACTLY what ‘Stalinism’ is.
250
The Soviet way would be the resident given vouchers at the whim of a bureaucrat, who can probably be bribed or overruled by an apparatchik.
30
If congestion makes living in Oxford so bad the inhabitants will move out or change their habits. They do not need government to make those decisions for them. Far better for the inhabitants to vote the incumbent local government out of office.
170
We don’t spend nearly enough time scrutinising elections.

Oxford is an ancient city built long before the existence of the car. There has never been parking. That’s why the stereotypical Oxford Don is always seen on a bicycle.
42
Two related items Useful Idiots fail to comprehend: Logistics and Economy of Scale. They both kill 15 minute cities and your comment while trying to shift the concept away from Stalinism or Communism or whatever you want to call it.
90
Except that isn’t what is proposed here because they are limiting access by car.
A free market solution would be enter whenever you want, but pay for it. Like a toll road.
If it’s still congested then people will freely choose to find another route because the cost isn’t worth it.
Or better still. No charge and people freely choose not to drive there because it is often congested.
This proposal is actually excluding vehicles from the area unless it’s one of the limited trips for which you have a permit.
A forced solution. Not a free market one.
This is the problem with Greens/Socialist Alliance/Labor voters like yourself. You think that government control is free market, or even freedom itself.
190
A forced solution that just coincidentally happens to track your moves.
101
To be fair, every toll road also tracks your movements … and those are most of the major roads these days.
Beyond that there’s a camera at almost every major set of lights, and more cameras at petrol stations and many car parks. There are Bluetooth ID capture devices (because hey, almost every vehicle has a few Bluetooth devices running). There’s already plenty of tracking on your mobile phone, and devices such as Fit-Bit etc are constantly collecting your location and activities.
Hey, even that stupid “weather app” which pops up on your laptop is sending out your GPS and it collects up IP address correlation to physical location… you notice how difficult those are to disable huh? There would be a reason for that.
https://internetprivacy.com/where-your-location-data-goes-after-a-weather-app-request/
40
Oh I almost forgot … facial recognition cameras at every train station, and inside every train and bus, and it tracks your ticket which in turn often links to your personal ID via credit card or other banking.
40
So you’re saying everyone should have a doctor, dentist, accountant, lawyer, shopping center, fuel outlet etc, within 15-20 mins of their home.
50
If many things that a person needs are within 15 minutes, they will benefit. That’s the basis of the 15-minute city concept – it’s a design guideline for improving people’s lives. That’s all. If anything a person needs is further than 15 minutes (and many things always are), then they should be free to go there. Penalising people for travelling freely is Soviet-style communism and nothing to do with 15-minute cities.
I am very much in favour of 15-minute cities as a concept (without interference from big politics and big business, a lot will occur naturally), and I am vehemently opposed to left wing abuse of the concept purely for their own power and control over other people.
30
‘I am very much in favour of 15-minute cities as a concept …’
Yeah, but I don’t have much faith in establishing these nuggets in settled areas. Brent Toderian came to Australia and was given a good hearing, so they should think about constructing a prototype on virgin land to see if it can work.
01
I cannot even get half way to town in 15 minutes
The nearest (working) train station is just under 400 km north
OTOH the newest speed/seat belt cameras on the roads are perfectly designed for “tracking”.

Don’t have any doubt about what the Left is planning for us. It’s already happening in Victoriastan.
Apart from “20 Minute Neighbourhoods” these facilities are also being called “Activity Centres”.

Like rebranding jails and prisons as ‘rehabilitation centres.’
80
No city is going to build enough hospitals and K-12 schools so that they are a 15-minutes’ drive from every person. There won’t be supermarkets every 15 minutes, or pharmacies, or doctors’ offices, or anything else, for that matter.
281
Drive? Isn’t it supposed to be a 15minute walk or cycle?
160
And how does it work for oldies? I rode a pushbike until I was 76 years old,(only stopped because the kids didn’t want me to fall off a remote road and vanish ) in my demographic I am the only person that I knew that did any “actual exercise” i.e. purposely walking the dog up the hills, riding the bike, I saw my own firewood and split it with an axe, I am generally classified as “mad”. Walk 15 minutes, I don’t know anyone over 50 that would volunteer for that!
130
You’re hanging with the wrong crowd. I’m not quite your vintage but I’m over 50 and still try to walk or ride at least an hour a day and have many friends that while they might not go for daily still get out there doing the exercise.
(this does not mean that I think policing of our movements is a good idea)
100
Rain or shine.
00
As you know, as I practise, moderate at least most days exercise even a ten minute walk and strengthening of muscles with equipment at home can keep older people mobile for a much longer time.
I had some medical problems noted about 20 years ago when I had retired and was told I was a candidate for an early demise, but all problems manageable. I began losing weight and today I am 17 Kg lighter so loss of weight slowly but surely, I purchased a large Dog and walked him daily as well as other exercises like throwing a ball, I stopped drinking alcohol about 7 years ago but had cut back earlier, I changed my diet and how much I ate per meal, and especially reduced sugar and salt intake.
I am now 80 years of age and in reasonable condition for age.
90
Surprised. Still ride a bike at 80, walk regularly a lot more than 15 mins, and participate in bush walks.
70
I rode a bike down our road during Covid, when traffic was lighter, but I still had a couple of close shaves with large vehicles. It’s much too dangerous now the tourists are back. I am in a similar age group to you Sambar and I do wonder how an old duck like me would cope with cycling or walking with the week’s shopping in a 15 min. settlement?!
I returned home from one such Covid trip to be greeted by my OH, ‘Do you realise your helmet is on back to front?’! I had felt something wasn’t quite right and that explained it. I do walk around town once a week and around the home paddock quite a bit.
PS You are the sane one Sambar; far from mad.
50
Yes, cars will be banned, walk or cycle only.
71
That would cripple an economy
20
Well, goodness …
Crippling the economy …

The idea of car ownership won’t last long with the blob.
And what else will we expected to share ?!
120
I notice how Greg Smith , the shadow transport minister is highly critical of the proposed 15 min plan. Yet, it was under his government that the idea was created.
80
Perhaps Smith has actually given the matter some thought, rather than, as when in office, reading out the departmental brief and trusting the bureaucrats.
Start out in Melbourne, if the polliemuppets aren’t strung up within a couple of months maybe try Alice Springs.

Given the limitation on the numbers of driving days, everything, including doctors, dentists, pharmacies, all types of medical specialists, and shops stocking all everyday needs, must be within a 15 minute walk, about a one kilometre radius.
Fantasy land, or more likely, dystopian dictatorship.
180
Terrain matters – certainly as you get more experientially gifted.
Some parts of the South Downs, even inside London’s M25, are definitely not flat.
A flat kilometre – no problem; but half that up a modest hill, ahhh, there’s my 15 minutes.
Don’t know why, but ‘dystopian dictatorship’, here, looks closer than Fantasy Island – taken all together.
Auto – elections … ‘What elections?’

Good luck with that, Blob people.
Sadiq Khan backs crackdown on number plates as driving offences cost millions in unpaid fines (GB News, 29 Jan)
They’ll let motorists dodge congestion charges and travel permits too. For example they’d only have to attach the license plates of an EV to evade the ULEZ CO2 emission charges.
It’s already up to 7% of all cars in London with fake plates on them. The incentives are huge. Here for example you can easily save over a grand a year just in mandatory rego, inspection/servicing and green slip, even before tolls, fines and restrictions. It is so easy to produce a pair of fake plates that the whole system will collapse sooner or later. Sooner, I think, especially with stupid stuff like the 15 minute cities rubbish.
180
Reminds me of the Indian state who decided to reduce deaths by cobra bites by initiating a bounty program. All it did was make the situation worse with the end result- more cobras. Ronald Reagan was always so wise- the most dangerous sentence in human history. “Hello, I’m from the government and here to help”.

There are good guys and bad guys in every story. I think we all know who the Robin Hoods are, and who the Sheriffs of Nottingham are, here.

Seems there are mixed messages from different groups.
When I visited oxford in 2013 they had a congestion zone back then, which imposed a fine/fee if you drove through it at a certain time of day.
This appears to be a means of redirecting traffic, without actually stopping people from going anywhere.
Doesn’t seem to be very different to our toll roads and e-tags. You pay for the quick road or detour for the cheaper road.
In this case the detour is mandatory at certain times. But you can have X number of times a year you can enter that area in a car. Or enter that area whenever without your car.
What am I missing?

At what point will they put up fences and check points? think East and West Berlin? I dont have my phone allowing it to indicate where I am. Why give that information away – or will we eventually find it is compulsory to have some sort of locator tag on us to enforce these rules. I chose to live 70km from Melbourne due to the congestion and work part time from home. To do that I have to put up with Bush fire risk, high insurance, potential flood risk, and extra cost of building a home that is practically fire proof and above the 100yr flood line. Yet they still order us to evacuate. When does that become compulsory without any particular consideration of our circumstances?
150
Even without your phone they can still track you via credit cards or other payment systems apart from cash, or via cameras using the National Facial ID database.
Another fake conservative Liberal Party assault on freedom.
They can also track you in your car by license plate recognition.

People must learn quickly that there is nowhere for us to hide from the authorities, unless we hide in dense bushland and live off the land.

I lived in a bush fire area for 20 years. When there was a fire upwind (it happened twice), the neighbours came to my place because evacuation to any official “safe” place was too dangerous.

Just a couple of observations.
First, the illustration at the top of this article works well for the house in the middle of the diagram but 15 minutes from the centre means 30 minutes from one edge to the other presuming there is a straight line path available.
Second, on my recent visit to London 15 minutes from my son’s home would get me a surprising distance by ferry or underground railway. Those who do not live near a ferry terminal are of course not so lucky. He also could use a bicycle path on days he needed to get to work in the city. But there were no bicycle paths in other directions. And London traffic means up to a half hour drive to get to the local supermarket or an hour to get his partner to work a mile away as the crow flies.
And then I think of my home on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Yep. I can get to everything in 10 minutes because there is no noticeable traffic.
So my suggestion is for everybody who likes city life to choose your home carefully. And most definitely do not move to the country. Honestly you won’t like it here. The drop bears are killers. The cows belch from both ends all the time and look at you funny. And there’s this stuff called vegetation (especially grass) which shows that nature will reclaim its own.
140
My understanding of the 15 min city is that pretty much all your needs are within 1km. Not based on 15 mins of travel by any means, and especially not in a car.
As far as ferry and train, if you have a 10 min walk to the station then you only get a 5 min ride. It’s not 15 min on the train or ferry. But the 15 min concept means you shouldn’t need a ferry or train.
50
My guess is that those who would make rules for others to live by haven’t reached that level of detail.
Perhaps their phones will detect movement and limit it to 15 minutes total before popping up a message that computer says no.
At any rate the planners must be really smart because it takes high intelligence to believe really stupid ideas.
40
Like anything the grubbiment undertakes, it will never happen.

It might well happen, but it will be WAY more horrendous then most people could contemplate.

Oxford freedom fighter gangs strike back against the 15 minute city prison & “traffic calming measures”
• Repeated vandalism on specific bollards, e.g., one in Howard Street (St Mary’s area) nicknamed “Britain’s most hated bollard” after being targeted dozens of times. CCTV footage captured:
• Bollards being set alight (arson, including melting plastic ones with accelerants).
• Ripped out of the ground and removed/stolen.
• Driven over by cars, vans, or other vehicles.
• In one period, the same bollard was vandalised 20 times in under three weeks.
• Widespread scale: Oxfordshire County Council reported 59 vandalism incidents where damaged bollards were replaced (as of late 2022), with 44 reported to police. Damage included knocking down, uprooting, torching, and even filling holes with concrete to prevent reinstallation.

The Woke always want to oppress you into marching in lockstep with their ideology.
Their whole concept of a 15 minute city is complete at odds with the original idea – which doesn’t involve any sort of compulsion, The original concept (which I like) is a town and country planning strategy which promotes mixed use neighbourhoods consisting of houses/flats, offices, services (medical for example) so that it is largely feasible (if you wish) to live within your neighbourhood…it demonstrates successful planning if people largely choose to do so…and is a “planning failure” (not a failure of/by the community) if people do indeed form a tight knit and interactive community. The idea is to offer residents “village life” within their city neighbourhood. In essence it is the antithesis of the extreme centralisation of service provision which has destroyed civic society over the last few decades.
Isn’t it typical of the Woke to turn a comforting planning concept into population enslavemrnt.
