Nonsense

They're traffic filters to remove the amount of regular cars clogging up roads. It's to make the area easier to travel through, obviously. All cities should implement vehicle management strategies so the traffic isn't so hectic.

Remember "2 weeks to flatten the curve"?

Governments don't go full totalitarian overnight. Instead they introduce measures that seem fine and justified on the surface but that includes systems that are needed for a fully totalitarian government control. Now once these systems are in place, they can "change schedule" as in, oh now you're only able to leave Oxfordshire 60 days out of the year. Wait, now it's 30. Ah fuck it, the climate will thank us because YOU CAN'T LEAVE ANYMORE.

They ALWAYS use the boiling frog system. Otherwise they'd never get anything done and ICYMI, they're good at getting their way.

The limitations of being a schizophrenic on full display. Rich people do rich people things to make their area more pleasant how rich people like and dumbasses (you) think everything revolves around their pet fantasy project that is completely unrelated.

The drooling chimp mind strikes again. Yes, Oxford is posh. But your definition of "rich" lacks nuance. Somebody with a NAV of $5 million is "rich" in your view. The controllers at the very top of the economic pyramid see these guys as fleas to be squished for fun. You think the Rothschilds are going to play nice and kind to the "I have a nice house in Oxford" snobs and do them favors? Droolchimp. They're in the same fucking boat as the rest of us. They can be PREFERRED for use to implement the tools of totalitarian control, because they know that droolchimps like you are going to say moronic shit like: "See? The rich are doing it for themselves, IT'S A GOOD THING! IT'S LUXURY!"
