Compare the policies of the BUFNS and UKIP: both espouse a windy mixture of populist nationalism, state intervention mixed with isolationism, economic protectionism, and "anti-otherism", where the "others" may be Jews or immigrants. Both make nonsensical and verifiably untrue claims about their "others" and how they are damaging Britain's economic and social fabric.
That's such a vague and "windy" comparison as to be meaningless. it's as useful as saying "Hitler liked to spend money on infrastructure... and so did Obama!!!11!!"
The most monstrous crimes of the fascists were committed after they became the government of various countries. However, even before then they were fascists.
UKIP members have not yet taken over government of the U.K., and I'm reasonably confident that they never will. But they're fascists nonetheless.

I don't see any disagreement on basics.

That's true. But then they calls should be about potential fascism, correct? Not calling them actual "fascists!".
This is harmful to society in a number of ways:
- It shuts down debate, we must silence any viewpoints evil enough to disagree with us.
- "The boy who called fascist" makes it harder to credibly warn against real threats.
You mean...
Farage crashed a light aircraft in England (like the Luftwaffe)
Farage's significant other is a German (like, that guy)
Farage's first name has 5 letters and his second name has 6 letters (wake up sheeple!!! The fascists are coming, the fascists are coming!!!)
I grew up in Croydon. Let me tell you, at pub closing time there were fascists everywhere!
Hey, "they all had to start somewhere".
Hookem and Woolfe both seem like the sort of thugs UKIP want to keep out of the UK. I hope they get stopped at the border - or perhaps they could try to jump on a lorry at Calais with all the other "economic migrants" to whom they have so much antipathy.
Seriously (as if anything in UK politics is serious at the moment), they both should be suspended from the European parliament, without salary or expenses.

Hookem denies violence against Woolfe, providing this account of the interaction: from the Telegraph
'I never punched anyone - we hugged like a pair of tarts'
Not "thugs", but "hugs"; so their salaries and expenses should be safe.catsmate

Will a (belated) realisation of this cause more moderate Brexit voters to repent their original decision? If so, what will they do to make amends?

A right wing group where everybody wants to be Fuehrer. That is about par for the course.
