A favourite turn of phrase by Senior Fellow is “to solve Britain’s problems, the first step is to make the TCPA go ‘kablooey’”

Baffling thing to say - ASI have released numerous papers over the past 3 years, launching the YIMBY Initiative and PricedOut, and have published dozens of blogs calling for the planning system to be torn down and restarted.
