Look North’s viral Clean Air Zones vox pop is back – and it’s still spectacular

The UK has a number of Clean Air Zones (CAZ), in which vehicles with more problematic emissions are discouraged from entering by a range of charges.

Back in 2022, a Bradford man spoke to the BBC about the upcoming CAZ in his area and went wildly viral for what he had to say on the matter.

The clip has just popped up again on TikTok and it’s well worth a revisit.

When they create clean air, how do they keep it?

Because when the wind blows, the clean air goes. And that’s what I want to know, are they going to put a big dome over Bradford?

It wouldn’t be out of place in a satirical sketch show, but it’s real. What a time to be alive.

“when the wind blows, the clean air goes” I’m going to say that every time I fart from now on.

Daniel Cuttings had a solution to the escaping clean air problem.

“Tbf he raises a point they should put massive fans down that always go against the wind to blow the clean air back.”

Bradford Man doesn’t quite win the comedy vox pop crown, though. Not while this exists.
