His poor dad had to lock his guns away as a consequence.

Is 'bring back school shootings' a Restore policy?

He's an absolute cunt. No other word is strong enough. I'll never forget that day. Those poor poor parents outside of the school and the photos of the tiny victims and their teacher on the front pages the next day. How could anyone support him?

You're a fucking idiot. I was going to say so much more but really what's the point.

My Dd was in school nursery near by not inDunblane, i will never forget that pick up day ever it was indescribable honestly horrific . Those poor children and their teacher.

This cretin has no idea what he is talking about, these far right men and their entitlement!

It was a horrendous day, I was at st modans at the time and we were all told to stay in our classes. Those poor families 😪 my heart breaks for them ❤️.

Pureblood, undiluted dickhead. What does that even mean for someone born in the UK? What is he? 100 Pict? Utter wally.

In that interview, he was using “pureblood” to mean he didn’t have the covid vaccine.

That doesn't help his case. He's a nasty, dangerous little man.

Would you like to own a gun? What for?

‘Pure blood’ oh God he’s really thick isn’t he.

Oh yes I wasn’t saying it to defend him!

The Hungerford, Eskdale and Dunblane mass shootings were carried out with legally held guns.

Cars are necessary in modern society. Guns (apart from for farmers) absolutely aren't.

He can say this because he’s safe in the knowledge he will never be Charlie Kirked.

What an arsehole.

Yes - they absolutely want the UK to be more like America. I'm betting they're all for private healthcare, fire-at-will no-rights employment where your employers practically own you, guns, hunting, no maternity leave etc. They'll claim it's all about 'fairness' and 'productivity' but it's all about ensuring the people on top (them and their mates) stay on top and get even more control.

Moronic.

So you think it's okay for the deaths of multiple innocent children to be reduced to "one murder" because "clearly he meant one incident?" You think that manipulative use of language and that disrespect to the victims and their families is okay? Why?

Not even starting on how stupid the rest of your post is.

Anyone who uses a term like "pureblood" knows, precisely, which audience they're appealing to.

what a very odd choice of word for a dubious choice. Even more of a wally.

Don’t hope for facts and logic to influence someone who will defend this indefensible man.

Daddy had restrictions placed on his hobby, boo fucking hoo.

I’m not defending him at all - as I said upthread I think he is deliberately underplaying Dunblane to suit the narrative that Britain overreacted to “one murder” by bringing in gun restrictions.

In relation to pureblood being used to mean someone who didn’t have the covid vaccine, he didn’t coin that phrase. He’s a complete idiot for using it, and obviously anyone on the far right talking about the purity of blood is quite dog whistle-y. But it’s an internet “thing” for anti vaxxers to use the term pureblood.

I posted on the other thread which is running about the odious Rupert Lowe.

If anyone is reading this and isn’t familiar with the facts surrounding Dunblane, there is a documentary on BBC iPlayer Dunblane: How Britain banned handguns.
It was screened on the 30th anniversary of the shootings and murders - plural.

There were also many children admitted to hospital with gunshot wounds, who survived.

The Snowdrop Campaign which was founded by mothers affected by the tragedy, was characterised by their dignity, determination and strength of purpose.

As a result of their work, not only was the handgun ban introduced, but our schools were made safer in general in terms of access and security.

In the face of unimaginable and unprecedented tragedy, the Snowdop Campaign changed this country for the better.

There are no words to describe people who would seek to minimise the murder of 16 children and their teacher and the injuries of all the other children.

Rupert Lowe and his ilk are beneath contempt.

He's a traitor to this country as is Garage, out to enrich themselves with no care for the consequences

Clearly he meant one incident rather than death.

Clear as mud that was!

I don't know how anyone can defend him. And as for comparing cars to guns, well, I mean, I know that 50% of people are below average intelligence, but really?!?
