Is it just me or the UK has been losing its moral highground over the years?
- mjhay 3y agoThat ship sailed a few hundred years ago.
- petesergeant 3y ago> losing its moral highground over the years Ever since about 1215, I'd say
- cutemonster 3y agoWhat happened 1215? Wikipedia lists many events
- petesergeant 3y agoMagna Carta is signed, which John Lackland almost immediately goes back on
- cutemonster 3y agoThanks! But Magna Carta looks like a good thing? Although it was a failure, it's not as if things were any better before?
- petesergeant 3y agoIt was indeed, which is why it was the high-point, and it's all been down-hill from there :-)

- heresie-dabord 3y ago> moral highground I doubt that any nation has an unchallengeable claim to "moral highground". However, if the UK had any plausible claim to leadership in democracy, education, or public policy, we can consider the Online Safety Act to be the formal end.
