OK let me put some perspective on all this.
Firstly, my comment was ironic, because everyone wants to blame the government for everything, from oil prices to the smoking ban to the shape of kidney beans.
Now I can understand that they do make some pretty dire decisions but let's be realistic, it's not the government that creates kiddie fiddlers like Glitter. After all, his reign of terror was conducted under a whole different administration. It's society as a whole and IMO it's a product of the unashamed capitalism the has run out country into the ground over recent years.
