Housing secretary says wildlife should be protected but not at the expense of building the homes the country needs

The government plans to unveil sweeping changes this week to the national planning policy framework, the document which sets out national priorities for building, after a consultation.

I’m really looking forward to the yimby charter, I’ve got to say. We’re going to build so much stuff, it’s going to be amazing.

‘Labour seem to be saying that Angela is best and local people can be ignored.’

I endorse this message.

    Well there’s the other solution, the final solution to this problem which you are advocating for by default. But most people agree that that’s not the direction to go so maybe we need more housing now and accept the loss of some scenery.

        If you don’t build houses and people can’t afford to live in the few houses that exist, then you’re condemning them to death, so just build the houses or admit you’re fine with killing the undesirables instead of hiding behind pointless green washed versions of NIMBYism.

          See, this reads very reasonably, but I think people were a bit put off by your original reference to a ‘final solution’, which has some… overtones.
