"England is reaping what it's society has sown. It would be so in the US were it not for people who have at least a moral base line from which they live their lives usually connected to their religious faith."
Ha ha! You really think this is something that the US has 'avoided' but us heathen Brits have not? Sounds like you're right in the target audience for this book (which, incidently, is primarily focused on the US, although obviously the Sunday Times has highlighted the parts relating to the UK as being more relevant to the readership).
Have a look at Pamela Paul's website:

"PORNIFIED shows why it's important for all Americans - those who look at pornography and those who do not - to understand how porn has changed and what we need to do about it."
And a couple more articles here:

Ha ha! NO! As a matter of fact I see the US as terrible in the whole thing. Making mounds of the crap, destroying lives in the process, wreaking havoc amongst society, it has just not overcome the US as it seems to have overcome all of Europe. So, stop being so insulted at the obvious you wern't called anything. There are more people in the US that stand against porn as acceptable than in Europe and England...or can you prove me wrong? Now, it may be a matter of rote numbers of population but my assertion of the church being of low influence in England and Europe is accurate and it at least has influence in the states where the battle goes on and in many cases is lost for people of faith in the courts rooms which is of a more recent event than people are willing to admit.
If it is such that the number of people who stand against porn in England is high I'll admit being wrong in approach. There has only been one instance where I have seen the influence of porn having an affect here in the states in a tawdry way as to be "normalized' and that is a screwy idiotic class in California where they have a course on being a whore.
Sex sells the world over, no nation is above the other but some have social acceptability factors higher than others...and in this, you reap what you sow.
