People will as readily go to Holland and Barrat, or wherever sells the stuff, so why just protest against 'Boots' I wonder?

Boots has far more of a position as a 'real' healthcare provider. It's the biggest pharmacy in the country. Whereas

That said, if Boots withdraw homeopathy, or at least put it outside of the medicines section where it belongs, I dare say some people would want to do protests against other places.

If it was about genuine concern for 'the ill', then the campaign wouldn't just be focused on the biggest of the players.

That's precisely who you should protest against first!

Just cos you can't hit a whole industry simultaneously doesn't de-legitimise your protest against part of it. Picketing a department store for selling fur, targeting Eon for its coal-fired power stations, all of these are open to a charge of 'but others do it, you're just picking on this one for some other reason'.
