Very different things; HMG really doesn't give a damn about us and is

Read what I said again, noting the word "judgements". Judgements are
given by courts, and courts are part of the government.
True enough to a point, but now you're questioning the concept of

government. Even accepting your premise there can be no judgement
unless there is a complaint. I read Andrew's comment as referring to
the initial prosecution of a case as being done by private persons.
