Pretty sure the whole point of all of this is that it is voluntary.

People are free to leave, if they don't like living in the special economic zone.

Special economic zones exist in all parts of the world.

And people are able to freely leave them, lol.

There are all sorts of special economic zones which are not some made up fantasy land that you read in a book.

This one would be literally run by the UK. I don't think the modern day UK is going to be holding people against their will, in their country. People are able to freely leave the UK, whenever they want.
