I could stand here and say more or less what other people are going to say about the effect of these 15-minute neighbourhoods,
00:00:05.000
soon to become digital ID facial recognition zones.
00:00:09.000
Let's say my friend lives in Zone 3 and I'm in Zone 1.
00:00:12.000
If, for example, I went to my friend's house in Zone 3, my parents normally would come and pick me up in their car.
00:00:21.000
So does that mean that they would have to go round the ring road and back into town again?
00:00:25.000
If my mum or dad had to drive round the ring road, it would take 30 minutes,
00:00:29.000
causing much more pollution and leaving a much bigger carbon footprint.
00:00:39.000
Me as a 12-year-old walking home in the dark alone.
00:00:45.000
Then they will say, oh, don't worry about that.
00:00:50.000
We will have a thousand cameras on the streets following you and tracking you all the way home.
00:01:02.000
Do you really think I want to be watched every second of the day?
00:01:07.000
Thousands of cameras tracking by every move until I get home.
00:01:11.000
At this point, I have to ask, is my safety that important to me that I want to be followed by cameras all the way home?
00:01:21.000
For your information, I still wouldn't feel safe.
00:01:24.000
No amount of cameras is going to stop someone who wants to attack me.
00:01:28.000
I want to be safe, but not to the extent that I am prepared to govern my freedom and my privacy to have it.
00:01:34.000
As a 12-year-old, I am really concerned about my future.
00:01:49.000
And the future of all children by enslaving us in your crazy digital surveillance prison.
00:01:57.000
These are the first steps of a dystopian reality called 15-minute neighbourhoods.
00:02:05.000
Climate change is being used to control us, to nudge us in the direction the greedy people want us to go.
00:02:11.000
The truth is that the greedy people want total control over everything we do, everything we think and everything we say.
00:02:19.000
Our government has been hijacked by greedy and selfish imposters posing as politicians.
00:02:24.000
They believe they are better than us and masters over us.
00:02:27.000
And until this problem is effectively dealt with, the tyranny will continue.
