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.”

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.

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.

TofuTheCat · 09/07/2026 19:18

"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.

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

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

I believe he has grandchildren?

PetulaGordeno · 09/07/2026 19:25

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.

This guy is an antisemitic prick who wants concentration camps.

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.

do you think its acceptable what.he said since you describe it as a slip of the toungue?
he had a chance to clarify but doubled down on One Murder

Petrolitis · 09/07/2026 19:31

What a disgusting man.

Thankfully most people in the UK think the mass murder of kids is a really good reason to not have free access to handguns.

He should live in the US then he can have his precious freedom at the cost of innocent lives.

Absolute cunt.

Yapper73 · 09/07/2026 19:32

Mumsnet - more coverage (there’s 11 replies). No one saying the report wasn’t appalling. I take it’s been covered here too. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue either. Joe Rogan repeated what he said.

He’s a despicable cunt- always has been, and this is just another example of why and how.

The amount of publicity he’s getting off the back of this “slip up” is worth it to him though, no doubt.

Have you heard what he actually said? He was complaining that his poor dad had to give up the guns he used as a student at Oxford because of "one murder, yes one murder!". It was definitely not a slip of the tongue.

I think people are pretending to be upset about something irrelevant because they don't like the man who said it.

Labour and Green MPs say some truly offensive things every day and nobody cares.

RaraRachael · 09/07/2026 19:39

Disgusting comment.

Yapper73 · 09/07/2026 19:39

No, that a whole load of crap. No one is okay with saying that in my view. I had to google who he was

I'm slightly more bothered about the 250,000 girls who were raped than him saying 'one murder' instead of 'one murderous act'.

user1471453601 · 09/07/2026 19:40

I find the "right to bear arms" concept ridiculous in 2026.

The biggest killer of children in the UK is cancer.

The biggest killer of children in the USA is guns.

If the UK had the ability to ban cancer in children,we'd do in a heartbeat.

But some in USA refuse to ban guns. 🙄

People don't like the man because he does morally bankrupt things like exploit the survivors of grooming gangs for his own far right agenda.

Hopefully the socialist worker isnt too middle class for you

Don’t fall for Lowe’s ‘rape gang’ lies

Restore Britain's Rupert Lowe is cynically exploiting the testimonies of survivors of child sexual abuse to push Islamophobia

@FunStork fucking idiot. Describing Dunblane as just one murder is disgusting. The reason we don’t have horrific school murders like we see in America is because of the strong anti gun measures taken as a result of that tragedy.

What he said was utterly despicable, nothing to do with who he was. Gun laws were not changed for one murder. They were changed for the murder of 16 young children. Is that not worth changing a law for?

You'd be the first to jump and down if it was a child of yours.
