*Across the UK, environmental protest is surging.*

From this article, it seems that most of it is against local development projects. In principle, such objections may be valid or they may be NIMBYism. The UK needs a lot more housing; the shortage especially hurts poor people. The questions are where and how.

Each project should be evaluated under the right criteria. What are the right criteria? That is a national political question which I would not trust the Tories about.

The evaluation must be carried out by an honest government body -- which is unlikely with Bogus Johnson in charge.

Thus, I would expect a lot of those objections ARE valid.
