Dismantling the welfare state is going to continue to happen well after Brexit, you know that. It has nothing to do with immigration or our membership within the EU.

Sure, but the reason people is angry is not some advertisements. That's only a scapegoat.
I don’t think anyone has seriously suggested that people are angry because of advertisements, but that certain interested parties made use of that anger to attack something entirely unrelated.
I agree, but the debate is, (in the society at large) disproportionally, in my opinion, about the advertisements.

And they are used, I think, like a distraction, instead of looking into the real issues.
