Have you read 1984? The UK was always using it as an instruction manual and trying to do their best Airstrip One impression.
Its kind of ironic that 1984 takes place in the same country
The Conservatives (big C) have always been like this. But lately they've gotten an undeserved confidence boost from the likes of Trump, and the GOP in general and their "reality is what you say it is" attitude to politics. The idea they could just outright lie about stuff hadn't really occurred to them prior to that point.
So that's for that Americans.
