Liberalism is centre-right. Please remember that Adam Curtis is British, the American political spectrum doesn't really apply here.

No, the liberal democrats are centre-left. Liberalism/authoritarian is mostly a different axis to left/right.

Its perfectly possible to be a left/right leaning liberal in UK politics.

Ah thanks for clarifying. I actually didn't know that.

So IIUC, UK liberals are kinda like US libertarians?
