Wages are being driven down and there is not enough housing and the demands on public services are too great' was 'You are racist, you are xenophobic, you are hateful etc'. Now the arguments made originally had merit and more people are waking up to that, but that is an example of how they try to control the discourse. You see the same thing with the war on terror and the constant use of the word terrorist. Basically anyone who rejects the government narrative ends up being an extremist. That in itself is extremism and unfortunately the schools and news networks are very powerful. It is harder to get the counter narrative out there. Sadly, people still listen to the BBC and Co.
