Well said. I truly cringe when I read the news about the UK .. although, as a Canadian, we see much of the same shit here, though to a lesser extent. Give it time though .. it's happening everywhere. A few decades on the existing trajectory, most western countries will catch up.

Not just western countries either, unfortunately. Having been familiar with Japan for over 20 years now, I've noted an increasing tendency to go the way of the wicked west. Even many of those aspects that most people think of as distinctively oriental have more in common with 19th century western imperialistic authoritarianism than anybody suspects. I guess Japan is a lot like the UK in that way: so many of these quaint, polite little touches to all aspects of their society are in reality the fruit of government oppression, lack of liberty and an unquestioning acceptance of state authority.

Indeed. The society seems polite, but also very hypocritical. The whole "salaryman" culture is just wild .. these men that literally die on their feet in order to "do right by the company." I think the concept of honor has been greatly perverted for the benefit of the societal leaders. Guilt is used to extract compliance.
Shinzo Abe should start a renaissance in samurai culture by committing seppuku, for his incredible failures, on live television. Maybe he could add a slightly modern spin to the ritual by throwing himself into the smoking, molten remains of Fukushima.

I'm in the UK and we look at canada and see it as worse..The Uk is no different to any western nation except maybe Iceland and Poland and Hungary..
Most of what you hear is hype..We have nationalist estates where most of the things you mention don't happen as the communities won't tolerate it. We fly England flags to mark our areas and show it is no go zone for undesirable practices and people. as with most nations you have your "Sheeple"* who tow the liberal elite line..
However, when given an opportunity us nationalists made our views clear..
We are leaving EU but they are attempting to deny us democracy..
