Actually, and not surprisingly, you will find that morals in the
UKofGB&NI deteroriated badly during the war.

In Ipswich in 1943, an increasing number of complaints were received
about air raid shelters being used for “immoral purposes".
I don't suppose they were any good for much else. And since when was
sex immoral?
Unprotected sex leading to unwanted pregnancies is immoral.

Inconvenient, not immoral.
No it's immoral because the purpose of morality is to establish a
framework that hopefully provides the greatest happiness and well-being
for as many people as possible. I'm well aware that many official
moralities are so seriously perverted that these aims are ignored, but
that's irrelevant to what I'm saying.

Unprotected heterosexual sex is likely to lead to unplanned pregnancies
or abortions. Now surely I don't have to spell out why these events are
likely to reduce the total sum of human happiness?

Other immoral things:
1. Telling people things are immoral because of your own twisted ideas
or sexual hang ups (religious leaders mainly do this one).
2. Drinking and driving.
3. Skiving.
4. Parking in disabled bays when you aren't.
5. Smoking.
6. Selling unnecessary aerials to poor people under the pretext of DSO.
7. Messing around on newsgroups when you've got work to do.
8. Violence.
9. Socialism.

Purpose of morality? What on earth are you talking about? Morality
isn't a thing with a purpose. It is a set of crystallized prejudices.
So presumably you don't believe in any morality whatsoever? How would
you feel if someone raped a member of your family, or drunkenly crashed
their car into yours and killed your nearest and dearest?

Your position here is absurd; quite untenable.

As for your list. You are certainly guilty of No. 1.
Most of us are, in truth.

Possibly No. 7
too.
Definitely. Very much so.
