I agree. Locally here, there's been about 15 major (over 100 flat) buildings/complexes that have been pushed for since Labour lost their council majority. The main things Greens have done opposing them, is holding the building developers to their commitment on what % should be "affordable housing". Bearing in mind that the previous three from when Labour had had full control, had been approved at 40% affordable housing, and when they finally got built they only had 5-10%, and Labour just said "oh well, that's good enough, at least it's more housing", and didn't push the developers to stick to their commitments from when it had first gone for planning permission. Every "Greens stop housing developments being built in Bristol" story of the past 8 years, has actually been, if you go into the details on the local papers or council motions, "Greens make developers stick to 20% affordable housing by revoking planning permission when developers don't want to do that". There are times I've read more into it and just classed them as NIMBYs, more in Oxfordshire than here, but plenty of them do seem pretty damn good on the detail. Although I wish they'd stop opposing Nuclear power.

They made the mistake of bringing their own gear in and it sounded awful (made even worse by the weather). They had an equipment failure as well so loads of things backstage wouldn’t work. Bono seemed very tentative on the soaked and slippery stage (understandably). Encore was a damp squib, as were all of us after a night of being unmercifully soaked. On paper, set list looks good (and BBC recording actually sounds great), but just didn’t work out for them in the field. Seen them countless times and it was easily the worst U2 gig I can remember…was also a pretty short set. They definitely have unfinished business and of the many that I would class as one and done that top the pyramid, I reckon they could actually do with another crack at it. Coldplay the following night blew them away (while playing 5 or 6 songs most hadn’t even heard yet). -
