These are the people who kept pushing stories about the “Parasitic poor” with “Entire families living of Social Security” using as example the 3 families in the whole of Britain (so a handful of people out of 67 million people) were that was actually the case and portraying it as if that was common amongst poor people.
Unsurprisingly the newspaper is owned by the 4th Viscound of Rottermere, a billionaire who inherited it and last time I checked used the Non-Domiciled legislation in the UK (which is a quite unique piece of legislation in the World that lets somebody live there but claimed to be Domiciled elsewehere for tax purposes) to pay pretty much no taxes.
Fascism in the UK is not the loud goose stepping brown shirts kind, it’s extremelly wealthy people with posh education from every expensive Private Schools, often with inherited titles, using the Press to spread deceitful Propaganda about out-groups such as the poor and immigrants.
(The tendency amongst the British upper class to love core elements of Fascism, especially the idea that some people are born inherently superior to others, is pretty old - there’s even a picture o the late Queen Elizabeth, back when she was a girl, being taught how to do a Nazi salute by her uncle who was the King at the time).
