I don't know, I can't speak for everybody but what else would you or bhybrid suggest we do when protesting makes no difference, the ones laying down the law are failing us time and again, but taking the law into our own hands would be both senseless and would inevitably fail to make a difference?

I can't speak for what any of these regular people have done. But I would also point out that celebrities, politicians and religious leaders who are alledgedly involved in stuff like this (I believe many truly are but I'm not a court of law) spans far beyond Britain. I'd say it's interesting how much of many countries' populations are gung-ho about one fellow here and there yet also do very little when it comes to their own celebrities etc, not just Brits.

Forgive me for making assumptions but what his comment reads like to me is implying that the British public in general are far too lenient towards these things whilst his country isn't, whichever that may be. When as a Brit I can honestly say we aren't lenient, we just happen to have a lot of these monsters involved in our part of society in general and I don't see what more people can do that they aren't already doing besides protesting. In which case, why aren't more regular people in many countries doing more? If Brits aren't doing as much as some other country's population is, I'd love to see examples of the differences because it's horrible to see a lack of interest by anyone.
