The problem is seeing fascism as something that is led from top down as opposed to an actual movement of the masses. A country does not simply wake up one day as a fascist state, it is a knowing process voted for by the masses who allow themselves to believe the lie. I am not saying the tories, boris, england is explicitly fascist (this would be of some offense to victoms fascism throughout history). But what i am saying is that given how politics in britain has moved in the past ten years, it is my belief that we are very much on our way to some form of fascism.
I don't see how you're not takign the side of Our Father Who Art Yet To Be In Heaven, Lord Sugar there - why not criticise the government? if your criticism is 'helpful' then whats the point? Why not call them fascist in order to highlight in extreme the fascistic tendencies of what they're doing?

I'm not a supporter of this government (actually a Labour party member). I just don't think it is helpful to characterise them as fascist. Underfunding the NHS isn't fascist. Misleading the public isn't fascist. It is awful though.
If anything, the reason the UK is in a worse position than other countries is the delay in introducing restrictions. That emanated from a classical liberal tendency, not a fascist tendency.
