Have they considered keeping their gold within their borders? The UK is also barreling towards fascism, and they're much more competent at it

there is only fascism in the west, netherlands is no exception.

It's not the fascism they're worried about, so much as the decay. The conditions could lead to looting by state actors or whoever. To your point tho, UK is def not a better choice unless they have some kind of bunker.

The UK recently transferred all the Venezuelan gold to the USA, so that didn't seem to do anything.
