Can you imagine, can you fucking FATHOM it? Three elected MPs in a mature democracy, appearing on national TV, and saying OUT LOUD: “Well, yeah, we know this is a HORRIBLE idea, we suspect we’re shoving it through AGAINST the wishes of the country. But fuck it. We’re bored.”

It is this that we never see coming. Every fucking time we don’t see it coming. Every fifty years it comes as a total shock: How very SENSIBLE fascism can appear.
