Can we stop having this stupid debate about whether or not the Trump regime is fascist? There is no longer an argument to be had. It's literally telling us it is.
Non-fascist regimes simply do not put out communiques like this.

I really shouldn't hate this fictional family as much as I do. It isn't really fair.
But that's life innit? Fuck them. I hope their fictional holiday is terrible. I hope the boy gets food poisoning and his mum and dad have to spend two weeks looking after him instead of going on the fictional beach.

It's other people's lads she she sees as cannon-fodder.

I am a TV journalist so by definition, I watch A LOT OF TV.
I cannot think of a single drama in which this - or anything like this - has happened.
This geezer is just making shit up. And the increasingly laughably self-styled Newspaper of Record is publishing it.
