Anyway by throwing the word fascism around, you are trivialising the horror of real fascism and the millions of people slaughtered by Hitler.

I never mentioned Thatcher ( although I understand why to jumped to that conclusion) I just meant the English.

Yaasss min, that's me trivialising again.
I've tried to give it up but ach, a wee bit of trivialisation does you good.
Mind you, do you fancy hazarding a guess how many people have died keeping the English in their habit of Empire building.

Given my total ignorance of history, political philosophy, and erm...ither related stuff, I used a well-known search engine to clarify the definition.
“Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe”, and would suggest that, hand-in-hand with Iain MacGregor, the UK’s PM ticked all those boxes during the Miners’ Strike in 1984-85, with the ultranationalism indicator fulfilled during the previously-discussed Falkland War.
Next?

It was an opportunistic move by Thatcher to rescue herself from oblivion. It worked in England anyway which was more than enough to keep her in power.
her use of the police in the miners strike was identical to how an authoritarian regime would deal with legitimate civil unrest. She may not have been a fascist in the purest sense of the word but the c unt gave a fairly good impression of one at times.

Giuseppe Bergomi played in four World Cups 82,86,90,98 but never played in a qualifier in his career
He was a last min addition due to injuries in 82
Italy were holders in 86
Italy were Hosts in 90
