Well, back in the day and before they invaded Poland, the British elites loved the Nazis (as shown for example here), and they've been siding with various lesser clones (such as Pinochet in Chile and Afrikaners in South Africa) ever since, so it's not at all surprising that when the most Nazi-like ethno-Fascists since the actual Nazis went full gear into executing their own "final solution" for the "vermin" in Gaza, the British elites would activelly support them.
Having lived before in Southern and Northern Europe, I lived in the UK for over a decade and when I left it after the Leave Referendum (maybe my best decision ever) I believed it was the country in Europe most likely to turn Fascist and, so far, they keep on providing evidence that they're well into that path and it's not even the Italian-style "mild" Fascism but the hard German-style version, only with the British twist of using posh-twat deceit techniques to disguise its true nature, like somebody covering a steel fist with a velvet glove.
Plenty of good people over there (as proven by their 600k people march against Genocide), but British Power and Money elites are natural supremacists (both wealth and power over there are usually inherited and they actually have complex structures - involving "Public" Schools and Oxbridge - to make sure the scions of the elites, no matter how inept, end up heading companies, the Press, Politics and the Justice System) who absolutelly believe that some people are born inherent superior (themselves, of course) to the rest and have a "right to rule", and that when slick deceitful posh talk does not suffice to make the riff-raff comply with their dictates, then using Force to keep the plebes in line (wrapped in the "velvet" of Legalism, of course) is natural, starting with the "rabble rousers" but going as far as needed until the plebes stop trying to dispute their dictates.
Basically we're watching realtime as Britain slides back to the way of doing things from the days of Workhouses, indentured servitude and child chimeney sweepers, only this time around Britain doesn't have the power to pillage other nations (or in fact the social and intellectual capability to achieve even a fraction of what their ancestors did) so the local Elites are plundering the rest even harder to keep themselves living in the luxury they're accustomed to.
American is fucking itself with a bang, Britain is fucking itself with a fizzle - which is quite stereotypical.
