Review increases German acid attacks.

Then review increases Swedish acid attacks.

Focusing on just the UK as if it was some mystically isolated scenario is intentionally skewing the statistics and the discussion to allow for demographic plausible deniability.

I'm not here to assert the correctness of my position, for the record, especially since I've already pointed out one only has to look at similar cases from Germany and Sweden. I've already placed my bets on the inevitable rise of European private prisons within the next ten years.

A ruthless public?

Creating something and letting the world run with it on their own terms isn't done because the creator thinks the faceless mob are savage dimwits. In fact, in order for anonymous art to work, the creator MUST have faith that the public will be motivated to act on a good idea, an insightful summary, a powerful display, or any other call to action that speaks specifically to the people who are tired of being cast as a "ruthless public"
