We just visited and every 5 mins in the trains it was like "See something, say something". Sounded like the communist propaganda the US had in the 50-60s. It was jarring. The whole time was thinking, how about you everybody mind their own fucking business, eh?

See something, say something, is more of an anti terrorism campaign, we brits typically keep our noses out of other people's business especially on trains

OK, I will turn around and not call the police or an ambulance when you are being stabbed to death because it's none of my business.

If you equate calling an ambulance with reporting your neighbor for everything you can, the problem is you.
