On the hand, one can respect retired property developer and former Headington Hill Residents’ Association chairman Martin Young’s lone campaign against the redevelopment of Oxford Brookes Gypsy Lane campus.
As a matter of principle, in a free democracy, it is right.

As with everything, a little moderation and common sense needs to be applied.
