I'm sorry, but I disagree. I truly believe that Margaret Thatcher
was quite capable of becoming a british Pinochet. That her (not his)
government ITSELF was not fascist I wouldn't debate -- but that's not the
point here. My point is that the british Conservative Party is full of
closet fascists (of either the neo or paleo type -- take yer pick).
