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?
