There seems to be a mass of opinion here that implies we the UK are naturally "goodies", therefore may act with impunity against "baddies". How far may we progress down that path before forfeiting any right to an arbitrary "goody" status?
If we are some paragon of virtue in the world, we will never remain so if all virtue and reason is abandoned purely to make some act easier, whether that be piracy or entire nations that have managed to be labelled (or subject to a stratcomms/info ops action...) as "bad".
