Well. the UK is a world leader in environmental politics....

The problem is: we're world leaders in cracking down on & arresting climate activists & protestors. We may not be alone in using police power to stifle & constrain protests, but the UK seems to use such measure a lot more often....

The right to protest (such as it is) is becoming practically constrained, though not necessarily for all (see for instance the recent farms protect in London!)
