Rupert Lowe & Restore Britain new party

[RogueFemale]

He's been very good about pursuing rape gangs. But I wonder if it's motivated purely by concern for women and girls. I saw on the party website FAQs that 'high level" donors will receive a tie (presumably branded). No apparent thought given to the possibility of a high level female donor.

No! It should be investigated. It has been investigated.

We should not be fooled into believing that everyone investigating and speaking out are doing so because they care about violence against women and children. Some are using the victims to forward a racist agenda and their own careers.

They dont give a shit about women.

People who are not supposed to be in this country should removed from it and they shouldn’t be getting benefits either. I think you’ll find something like 80%+ approval for policies like that.

that makes it a very centrist policy doesn’t it? Not “far right”.

Which policies are racist exactly?

Well exactly.

it’s lazy arguing, easy to burst, and only makes the poster look foolish.

without defining a thing you just use it as a instant shut down.

doesn’t work any more though does it?

It hasn't been investigated. That's the issue. It has been utterly denied.

So you prefer the Left's approach of ignoring the issue for decades to Rupert's approach on the basis that he is apparently forwarding a 'racist agenda'?

Brown men systematically rape white girls because they are white. Left ignore it for decades. Right investigate it and apparently this is wrong because Right are using it for their agenda.

So why are the Left ignoring it?

As someone who has worked with multiple girls hospitalised because of hundreds of rapes, can you please explain to me what the Left are doing about this?

(I already know the answer btw, it's fuck all)

As far as the inquiry goes, Reform considered crowdfunding one, then dropped the idea because if it isn't a statutory inquiry it can't compel witnesses. Lowe picked up the idea and ran with it. I'm not sure if it's achieved anything other than allowing some survivors to tell their stories, but maybe that's something.

The thing to understand about Lowe is that he's the Zarah Sultana of the right. He's not a team player and is incapable of getting along with anyone. Then, whenever he falls out with someone, he retrospectively sets up a purity test so he can say it was a matter of principle and not just a personality clash.

He's also similar to Sultana in attracting a lot of Extremely Online maniacs. More about them anon.

Lowe isn't really any kind of fascist or ethnonationalist. His own politics is almost the same as Farage's, except (1) he thinks he'd be a better leader than Farage, (2) he's got a particular bee in his bonnet about halal and kosher meat, and (3) Farage has gatekept a lot of people who genuinely are extreme out of Reform, Lowe doesn't think they should be gatekept, and predictably they have gravitated towards Lowe and formed the core of his team.

So Lowe has a choice before him, either he can be true to his own instincts and appeal to the tiny sliver of the electorate who agree with Reform policies but hate Farage; or he can surrender to his audience and be a figurehead for a movement led by idiots like Carl Benjamin, Charlie Downes and Connor Tomlinson. He'll probably do the latter, not realising that Carl and his mates are the people who destroyed Ukip in 2019, which is precisely why they are blackballed from ever joining Reform.

The Times reported on this in the early 2010s. The Jay Report was submitted to parliament in 2015. Since then numerous investigations and enquiries have been carried out.

To say that Rape Gangs have not been investigated is not true. It's another lie told by people like Rupert Lowe.

Oh Christ. For some unknown reason he keeps popping up on my Facebook. He’s an absolute twat of the highest order.

100%

People who apply to live in a country need somewhere to live while their case is being processed. Especially as UK law says they have to be here to apply.
They get very little in the way of benefits which certainly isn't as much as UK nationals on UC. We don't allow them to work to pay their way.

It was only a few months ago when he called on the navy to stop a rowing boat off the.l coast of his constituency, nowhere near the majority of small boats. It was a charity boat, with the Navy on board. He really is an idiot. More sound bites than substance.

There isn't a problem with investigating and convicting men involved in grooming/rape gangs. The problems arise when certain people are only concerned with the brown and not the white men involved in grooming/rape gangs.

This is the guy who's campaigning for men to be given camp beds on maternity wards, is it?

I believe the parties proposed policy is don’t allow them to apply by changing the laws.

Please point at the far right fascism please?

throwing these words around because you don’t like a policy makes you look foolish and worse devalues the word fascism which used to be a powerful descriptor. Now it just means “something I don’t like”.

I love him! He would be great as our leader

I'm not very fond of Ben Habib, but I do feel a bit sorry for him popping up in every news outlet that will have him, talking about what a great team he and Rupert could make, when it's painfully obvious Rupert is not returning his calls.

Rupert Lowe is giving a voice to women who were victims of rape gangs. He's shining a lot of light on something other parties would like to forget because they were negligent.

What I know of his policies makes the new party seem even worse than Reform but you can say that without casting shade on the sunlight. It will split Farage's votes, that has to be good.

Great summary.

Love this bit.
Lowe is that he's the Zarah Sultana of the right.

All we need to know is this is the guy who flagged a charity boat ride as an immigrant invasion and was forced to apologise.

I wouldn't trust him to tell arse from elbow, let alone womens rights at a distance.

Why would any non-thick person assume he has more loyalty to women than he does to political parties ?

I think Restore is more Right than Reform, but calling them Far Right is ridiculous.

One of these days though the lefties who cried wolf will magic up the monster of their imagination, then I get out the popcorn 🍿. 🤣

I'll have whatever you're taking❤️

Ok so how would you define it then? What is the far right? And where does Rupert Lowe fit on the political spectrum in your opinion?

We all have different ideas. It’s not some fixed thing. Not far right to you doesn’t mean not far right to others. I’ve seen enough people say Starmer is far left.

Similarly Rupert Lowe might be interested in investigating the grooming gangs because he feels that they weren’t investigated properly and that it was because of the colour of the perpetrators and also of the victims. But that doesn’t preclude him from also doing for racist reasons.

If we're talking about intellectual heavyweights in politics, we're just about coming up to the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Labour Party leadership election. The candidates were:

• Jim Callaghan
• Michael Foot
• Roy Jenkins
• Tony Benn
• Denis Healey
• Tony Crosland

Compare that with the present day. Starmer is the most unpopular PM since polling began, and Labour can't shift him because they don't have a credible alternative. We just don't have a high quality of people in politics.

Now Rupert Lowe has a big following on X. I suspect much of his X following is American, and gained because Elon Musk likes the cut of his jib and retweets him.

(I don't know for sure if this is true, but there is a story that when Farage met Musk, Musk wanted guarantees for what a future Reform government would do for Musk's business, and Farage told him to do one.)

Rupert would not be the first politician to mistake popularity on X for popularity with voters. He seems to be locally popular in Great Yarmouth on the basis of being a good constituency MP. But, during his spat with Farage a year ago, when he was in the media every day, polling still showed that only 14% of voters, and only 29% of Reform voters, knew who he was when shown a picture of him. I'd say the idea that he is a lion of English nationalism with millions of voters just waiting to rally to his leadership is unproven.

Also, to the limited extent that there's a Connor Tomlinson demographic out there, appealing to those people is going to put off waaay more people than you attract.

You may not like Farage, but he's trying to appeal to normie voters. Look at this Matt Goodwin tweet - actually look at the comments beneath it - and it's very obvious that Lowe's online fanbase contains a very large number of open racists and antisemites. Lowe, under his own steam, is not really far right, but the Zoomerwaffen lads who have clustered around him want him to be the figurehead for something quite smelly.

It's the same problem you get with Corbyn, Sultana, Polanski - any political leader who sets themselves up as anti-system will attract the nutjobs. Farage, for all his faults, has been doing this for a long time and recognises the problem, and knows he has to gatekeep the nutjobs. Corbyn's people may also have learned that lesson to some extent. I'm not confident that Sultana or Polanski or Lowe will ever learn that lesson.
