State-funded game warns kids they’ll be flagged as terrorists for researching immigration stats or protesting erosion of British values

In a chilling move, the UK government has rolled out a taxpayer-funded video game that paints every curious teenager as a potential far-right extremist. The “Pathways” game, backed by the Home Office’s Prevent counter-terrorism program, threatens young players with referrals to anti-terror experts simply for questioning unchecked mass migration or engaging with online debates about British identity.

This indoctrination tool assumes teens are one wrong click away from radicalisation, equating basic concerns over job competition or veteran housing with illegal hate groups. It’s a blatant assault on free thought, designed to stifle dissent and enforce globalist narratives in schools—exposing the state’s tightening grip on the next generation.

The game, developed by Shout Out UK with funding from Prevent, targets 11- to 18-year-olds. Players guide a character named Charlie—using “they” pronouns—through everyday scenarios that quickly spiral into warnings of extremism.

For instance, after being outperformed by a black student, Charlie faces a choice: accept it or blame immigrants for “stealing jobs.” Opting for the latter ramps up an in-game extremism meter.

One scenario involves a video claiming “Muslim men are stealing the places of British veterans in emergency accommodation” and “the Government is betraying white British people and we need to take back control of our country.” Engaging with it leads to a flood of “harmful ideological messages,” with the game stating, “Unfortunately, Charlie didn’t realise that some of the groups they were engaging in were actually illegal.”

Even researching immigration statistics online is portrayed as a gateway to danger, bombarding players with material on the “replacement” of white people...

A Home Office spokesman added, “Prevent has diverted nearly 6,000 people away from violent ideologies, stopping terrorists and keeping our country safe. We provide funding to local authorities to tackle a range of threats, including Islamist extremism and Extreme Right Wing.”

“Prevent has diverted nearly 6,000 people away from violent ideologies, “

How do they figure that?

The same way Minnesota determines a day care is legit? Just make stuff up?

Researching immigration data on line? Yep, facts are dangerous to regimes like the UK. Britain has sunk to the level of a Soviet era SSR, but with better technology to control the proletariat.

This is a level of strangeness beyond my comprehension.

Does the video have a thumbs up button?

It’s incomprehensible what has happened to that country!

They’ve taken the dystopian novels and turned them into official policy.
