Quote:He claimed, as he waited in Hong Kong for a flight home, that the positive attitude of the country during the Victorian era and while Margaret Thatcher was prime minister has been lost.“I do think there’s an ambition in the country and a sense of optimism and 'can do’ which our country had in the Victorian age and had at other points in our history,” he said.“Somewhere along the line in Britain there were bits that were great about British industry that we allowed to wither.”Perhaps he's refering to child labour.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87eVOpbcoVo
