Fascism is not a binary state but a slippery slope. Every such decision leads us further down this slope at which end Farage is waiting.

Fascism as a meaning and the meaning isn't "socially conservative politics with a long history in the labour party and in social democracies more generally". The policies are bad, the politics are bad, you do not need to invoke the spectre of fascism and it's crimes to say that.

It's much more relevant to compare this government to labour in the 60s and 70s rather than Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. That this needs to be said is ridiculous.
