Question concerning resistance actions in the UK

why?why?why?

hey everyone,
I am a Greek student in Birmingham Uni. this is my second year in England. I was wondering WHY people in England do not rise up?? why are we so silent?? it's time to stand up for our rights, for our future.. People here are quite silent I can say comparing to Greek comrades..that's not what I expected.. anarchists rarely organize demonstrations and/or massive protests against the police state at least in Birmingham city... there are cops everywhere in England..in every corner.. they are even inside the Universities.. CCTV's are EVERYWHERE.. our rights are being trespassed and people do 'nothing' to stop state terrorism. For example, nothing was organized in Birmingham for May Day..Where are the Workers?Where is our answer to the state? WHY are people silent? It seems to me that people think ok everything is good, capitalism isn't working but we can't change it and we can't wait for the elections to come.. the Tory's will be in charge very soon, and this is going to affect everyone's life.. Why people are so silent? Why don't they stand up and fight for their rights?

I don't want to sound provocative, so consider this as a sincere question from a foreign student who wants a better life and a better future for all of us..
Thanks!
