[Politics] If you could 'reset' Britain, which historic point would you go back to?

1970s, but without the prejudice and discrimination.

I look back over my Dad's diaries and we were always at relations at doing stuff locally. It seemed that folk got to know each other back then. Everything seemed less regimented.

Of course, that's a good time for an Albion fan as well.

Actually, a fusion of today's social enlightenment and the 70s simplicity would be pretty good.

Yeah, again, I don't mean re-living your past.

Maybe it's better to ask: when did Britain start going wrong? (If you believe it has)

I guess example checkpoints would be 1979 General Election, or 2013 (?) when Cameron promised an EU referendum.

Some might pick dates before the rise or fall of the British Empire...

Interesting to pick 1913 when the British Empire was on its peak and had enslaved a quarter of the world.

978. Elthered the Unready becomes king.

I just can’t shake off the feeling we weren’t really ready for this.

Not get involved in WW1

The war was in the east , the Germans only invaded France to stop them supplying the Russians .

Mid 1950s so we could all have another go and getting it right post WW2 and I could later refuse to allow my kids to take the packaging off their Star Wars toys!

Ahh my bad, I thought you meant Russia as in that the Russian Empire was of that size but now I read the first post again and realise what you mean.

For me, anywhere in the world, I'd go to the early 90s and rip the throats off from anyone suggesting digitalisation of society.

Probably back to the 16th Century, and then have a good chat about colonization. If we didn't colonize Ireland, N. America/Caribbean, and then get started in the slave trade around that time, I would probably be more proud to be English. European imperialism is perhaps the most shameful epoch in human history, and we, of course, live with its ramifications today. Without imperialism we don't get capitalism, which is almost inevitably going to lead to mass extinction in a couple of decades.

This cheery thinking was sponsored, in part, by BHA not scoring at home since effing January.
