That doesn't mean some of the people turning up to protests aren't concerned parents it's just don't you agree with them/or are attaching the behaviour of the thugs and the far right to them. Take the protests in Liverpool for example, scan the crowd, listen to the views they aren't all far right but we are losing them to far right voices because we just keep calling them racist.
Also, half the knob heads out for ruck aren't far right either. I've met real far right people and they are much more sinister than this.
This is exactly what makes it grow.
Call it racist. Call it biggoted, fascist etc.
Because that is what it is. Don't broaden it.
Won't stop it, will make some even more determined. But it will be whittled down to the true hardcore, the real far right that give no shit either way and know it will either be universally condemned, or limited in number and hardly worth it.
But bracket in that 'concerned parents', 'the generally aggrieved' and all other disguised justification and you add volume to it, where people in the margins gravitate to it. Or at least where the real nutters know they can be seen representing such groups where the apologists will excuse it.
You are widening the margins. Narrow them down. The people in between with a choice of going extreme or staying away, when it comes to numbers you will lose some to the extreme. But many more will steer clear. But blur what is extreme and what is supposedly 'reasonable concerns', and the the extreme is far more easier to hide in that volume. And uses that!
Which is what has been happening the best part of a decade.
