I don't think we are agreeing at all, are we Parsnipbob?
I don't agree with sweeping generalisations of any description when talking about tens of millions of people. I disagree that 'in general' 'in British Society' 'we are not always that good at speaking out'. 'We' (it's that collective 'we' again) 'tend to think of things as not our business'.
No, I don't agree with any of that I'm afraid.
I dislike any generalisations on that scale. It's like saying all French people are rude. Or all Italians lazy etc. etc. Us British aren't very good at speaking out, like it's a national trend of some kind?
As far as I'm aware, Us British are made up of lots of individuals with different character traits and personalities and some of us will speak out, some of us won't, some of us will express anger, some of us will hide it. But that could be said of every human being on earth regardless of whether they are British or not.
I think when it comes to the likes of Opheliarose's H (LOVE the OP's screen name by the way), normal, right minded people the world over would have the same reaction that has been shown on this thread by virtually everyone who has posted - outrage, disgust, anger and disbelief. That's not me making a sweeping generalisation. You only have to read every single response on her to feel the strength of emotion Opheliarose's threads have generated.
But the reaction we are seeing on this thread doesn't equate with the real life reaction from friends, family and colleagues based upon what she has told us. That is the point I was making when I posted earlier and I don't think sweeping generalisations about British Society and collective 'we' assumptions explain that disparity.
But apparently one or two of the OP's friends did utter a 'few choice words' after all, which makes far more sense to me that the rather mute acceptance of everything this fucker has supposedly done.
