      I lived for over a decade in Britain until about 5 years ago and by the time I left I truly believed the UK was the most likely country in Europe to turn Fascist within a decade.

      So far, they’re well on schedule and there isn’t a month without some news about it further confirming how wise my decision to leave after the Brexit vote was.
