To think he should resign for this blatant lie that suits his agenda. What an absolute arse.

He was on Joe Rogans podcast and the headlines are true. https://news.sky.com/story/fury-as-restore-britain-leader-rupert-lowe-describes-dunblane-tragedy-as-one-murder-13561888

This is from the transcript of the podcast. He actually said it - “ffectively, they are trying to make that very difficult through the licensing laws for guns. As you probably know, they banned handguns.
The 90s, right?
In the late 90s, because there was a murder up in Dunblane.
One murder.
One murder. So everybody, my father used to shoot pistols for Oxford University, and he had, he's dead now, bless him, but he had, all his pistols were taken away, the gun, the pistols he used to shoot with at Oxford University. I mean, we now have a society which needs radical change, and we need to release the individual.”

Mumsnet - the middle class women's forum where a bloke doing a slip of the tongue in which he said 'one murder' instead of 'one series of murders' gets more coverage than the 250,000 working class women and girls who got raped that his report detailed.

This guy is an antisemitic prick who wants concentration camps.

It Is like looking someone in the eye and saying well no girls were murdered in Southport. I know it is more recent but I can remember Dunblane like it was yesterday.
Go and ask Andy Murray’s family - obviously none of their children were murdered but it deeply affected them.
It is absolutely horrendous because people outside the UK won’t know all of the details of Dunblane.
It is all about scoring points on this shitty podcast and I’m sorry but it is shitty.

@TofuTheCat does he realise that goes into the world and people believe it when it’s so wrong. Does he have children?

I believe he has grandchildren?

Yapper73 · 09/07/2026 19:23

Does he really think the British public will support a comment like that? Restore voters - will you support it?

"He knew exactly what happened at Dunblane. He made an active choice, on one of the world's biggest podcasts, to describe the massacre of 16 five and six-year-old children and their teacher as 'one murder'.
"The people of Great Yarmouth need to seriously consider if this is who they want representing them."

For a man who a significant part of his platform runs on ‘immigrants raping and murdering British women and children’ he sure as shit doesn’t seem to give an iota of respect for those British children who never came home that day.

Remember that, Great Yarmouth.

What a self centred insensitive idiot.

I've been listening to lbc today discussing this. I am thankful to those poor children and teachers who were robbed of life in that horrific way, and subsequently their families and community that brought about the ban on handguns.

Can you imagine what state our streets would be in if this ban hadn't happened?

No one's desire to shoot as a hobby trumps the right to life.

His Joe Rogan viewing figures are looking very healthy after a few hours.

Most British politicians are completely out of their depth with new media l.
