15 minutes of freedom here in the UK. So let me tell you the plan. The plan is in Oxford,
and this has just been passed by the council, to divide the city here into, a squiggly city,
into six parts. So one, two, three, four, five, six.
And you will only have the freedom to operate in the part that you live.
So if this is you, the idea is that everybody will live within 15 minutes of the things they need.
15 minutes of a school, 15 minutes of a doctor's, 15 minutes of a supermarket.
And if you want to travel to the other zones in your city, or maybe soon your town,
you will have to go out an approved route.
you will have to journey around the outside of the city in order to re-enter another section of the city.
This plan is supposed to be saving the planet.
And the idea is that you won't simply be able to cross over into other sections of your city anymore.
So if your mother, for example, lives over here.
I wouldn't be able to just go across and see her.
This would all be done via e-gates, electronic gates and number plate recognition.
You in your area will only be allowed within that 15 minute zone that you've been allocated.
The number plate recognition will know if you leave your zone.
And you can apply for permission, a permit, to leave your zone and travel to another zone.
But you'll only be allowed to do this about 100 times a year.
This is real.
I just have to stop and say that this has actually been passed by Oxford Council.
This is happening in the next two years, 2024 it begins.
And if you use up all your 100 passes that someone designates whether you're allowed to have to go into the different zones,
you'll be fined. Your number plate will be recognised.
It will observe that you've gone somewhere you're not allowed in your own city.
And it will fine you £100 or £80 or whatever the fine number is.
