Powerful nationalism? UKIP seen as a mainstream party, EDL views getting support on here. Britain First and BNP lurking in the shadows.
Scapegoats? Eastern Europeans nicking our jobs are the obvious scapegoats, here. Blacks and Asians - the previous targets - failed to destroy our society. Funny how we don't seem so bothered about all the Spaniards and Italians.
Supremacy of the military: "LOL what military?" The one that went illegally into Iraq and Afghanistan.
Rampant Sexism? Rampant is strong but Cameron's "calm down, dear" sheds some light on his views and women are still being paid less than men.
Controlled mass media? Murdoch's grip gets ever stronger and with the Sun is something of a Kingmaker. News of the Screws scandal fails to bring him or Brooks down. In the meantime, the BBC's reporting of Israel's assault on Gaza last summer was depressingly biased. In America, Fox News is utterly offensive in its political agenda.
Obsession with national security: Britain is a "surveillance society" like no other in Europe. Meanwhile, whistleblowers like Assange and Snowden are characterised as enemies of the state. Kidnapping, waterboarding and indefinitely detaining suspects a routine occurance.
Religion and government: Admittedly, nowhere near as bad as in the USA (when the head of state has to routinely say "God bless America" on TV). The C of E is refreshingly critical of the government, in fact. Dragged its feet on women bishops, though.
Corporate power: Multinationals are becoming more and more powerful. What's more, in the case of the Food Standards Agency, the Tories are allowing them to regulate themselves (yeah, that's bound to work). TTIP looming on the horizon. Can't over-emphasise how important this is.
Labour power is suppressed: Not hugely though Unions are much less powerful than in 1979. More tellingly, though, dissent and protest are undermined by being almost completely ignored by the BBC, ITN and Sky. Grassroots mass protests numbering tens of thousands in London and around the country are routinely ignored by TV (and newspapers).
Disdain for intellectuals: My wife is Polish and despairs at how anti-intellectual Britain is ,though it's admittedly way ahead of the USA. In America, almost every movie involves a good, honest but "uncomplicated" hero getting the better of an untrustworthy, too-clever-by-half foe. Meanwhile, God is fighting back against Science. "Intelligent Design" is taken seriously by many.
Obsession with crime and punishment: Habeus Corpus - a non-negotiable for over 200 years - routinely ignored or "modified" in both the UK and USA. Assange and Snowdon seen as public enemies for acting in the interests of the public. Working class benefit scroungers demonised whilst bankers and multinationals laugh their way to the bank.
Corrupt elections: Not so much corrupt in the UK as not fit for purpose. Britain's first-past-the-post system ensures that a corrupt and self-serving elite can expect to remain more or less in power. In America, of course, there was the fixed Florida vote that returned Bush to the White House. No one, other than Michael Moore, batted an eye-lid.
. Even Pope Francis seems quite cool if only the Vatican nay sayers would allow him to modernise Catholicism
