    it’s not that it doesn’t matter, and no one here holds that position. it’s that “UK is fascist” is not any less true just because it’s the fascist US that said it

      I’m American, living in the UK, and have recently been to the US. The US is visibly fascist. The UK isn’t, despite the government’s heavy-handed, imbecilic ban on Palestine Action, and their even stupider efforts to ban encryption. Starting with Tony Blair, Labour has had a strong authoritarian faction, exemplified by the dire Yvette Cooper, but so far they haven’t succeeded in turning the whole country to shit.
