Since the dawn of the Brexit vote, the Tory party really have flirted with fascism but they have been showing fascist tendencies since 2010. It was the novelist Michael Rosen who warned us a few years back, "“fascism arrives as your friend” and not in “fancy dress”.
Fascism: I sometimes fear... I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis. Fascism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, wars and persecution." http://michaelrosenblog.blogspot.co....imes-fear.html
