Total control of your life is on it's way peasants, but keep burying your head in the sand and watching Saturday night television.

The same people supporting these schemes are fully jabbed and probably still wearing masks. Clueless.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

If they said they were going to allow more traffic there would be protests against cars… less cars in cities is a great idea. Less cars period a great idea. People should use bikes and buses.

This is nothing more than a 'PAY TO POLLUTE' charge, how does that clean up toxic air?. You eco zealots need to look at the other mass polluters if you want to find a solution and stop banging the poorer motorists!.

'Traffic Scheme'.....you mean WEF 15 minute climate lockdowns? The BBC once again using their agenda driven newspeak.

Protesting against 15 min cities and overbearing control by the state.

Don’t let the government fool you!!! 15minutecity is a prison you won’t escape if you won’t Wake Up!!! Here is an example for you

ResistTheWEF and they 15minutecity 15MinutePrisons agenda!!! Wake up people before 1984 became location of your neighbourhood.

Genuinely terrifying how willing this many people are to buy into utterly insane conspiracy theories. We truly are heading back to the dark ages.

It’s simple to solve, all trades and services refuse to deal with anyone including councils.

The protesters appear to be marching in a traffic-free street. The irony! They must be fuming at the lack of danger, congestion and dirty air.

Hopefully the worm has turned. maybe a few MP's might change their ideas.

Good. Long may it continue. Politicians need to be made to be afraid of the people they lie to and make our lives worse.

Bunch of traffic Nazis

Respect to the people of Oxford. We should all take a leaf out of their book before it to late.

Stay at homes folks. You can’t visit your family. You won’t need your car.

Get JeremyVine on the case

Britain doesn't want these so called '15 minute cities'! They should be resisted!

Well done, don't let the fascists get away with curbing your rights 👍🏻
