Restore Britain leader calls Dunblane 'one murder' on Joe Rogan podcast
This is bad even for Rupert Lowe. Because of our gun laws we don’t have active shooter drills in schools and children don’t have to go to their friend’s funerals. MAGA ideology is utter poison Restore Britain leader describes Dunblane tragedy as 'one murder' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Gemma Clark 🧿🕯️70The awful Dunblane massacre was preventable, people knew that man was a walking red flag. But brave bereaved parents demanded this never be allowed to happen again and they won. Lowe is a disgrace.
UnicornsRockUK25Sounds like he's getting instructions from America. He can go walk into the sea. There is no appetite for guns in the UK.
Miles19Did anyone have the courage to ask him how many murdered children he considers to be an unacceptable number of murdered children?
Ian Kingston17Americans talk about (and fetishise) 'freedom' when talking about guns. But in the UK we are free from the fear of guns – because there are so few of them. I know which kind of freedom I prefer.
TheFirstGirlySwotsToJoinBlueSky14. Utterly despicable comments by Rupert Lowe about Dunblane - 16 young children and their teacher were shot dead in their school classroom. This was the UK's Sandy Hook - banning handguns has resulted in no more school mass shootings in the UK since 1996. He should resign! #wato #EndGunViolence .
A Mere Solicitor1216 children and the teacher who died trying to save them will never be one murder. That’s sickening.
Kim Justice41I wouldn't usually do this, but what a complete and utter hideous, grifting, objectionable, soulless, gormless, amoral, evil fucking CUNT.
Dave32he’s said a lot of abhorrent things, but if there’s anything correct left in British politics, that should wind it up for him entirely and immediately
Emma Butterworth Music21Anyone who downplays the horror and significance of Dunblane has had their brain well and truly rotted by far right ideology and money.
Some Bloke in a Hat15There's an easy solution to this. Pack the stupid bugger off to America and he can have all the guns he wants and we don't have to listen to any more shite.
NevereverDave.bsky.social11It's called the #DunblaneMassacre wherever it is searched. Why do we imagine an apology ever touches the sides of the abyss that monster opened that awful day. #RobertLowe should bear that shame to his grave. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblan...
John Crowther8Rupert Lowe #RestoreBritain is MP for Great Yarmouth, while deliberately and cynically choosing to misrepresent and disrespect the tragedy of the Dunblane massacre - the man is a disgrace and cannot be trusted in public life.
Woodo7Andy Murray has carte blanche to stove this cunts head in with a tennis racquet if you ask me.
William Meikle6There should be no place in British politics for any fucking cunt so insensitive to the mass slaughter of children.
Gareth Thomas5Personally, I’d much rather be free of the fear of guns than free to own one. But maybe Lowe enjoys attending the funerals of schoolchildren?
Adrie van der Luijt4For anyone who thinks that Rupert Lowe is funny because he is rude about Farage.
Scum. 'Rupert Lowe told Joe Rogan, the world’s most popular podcaster, handguns were banned "because there was a murder up in Dunblane". Rogan asks: "One murder?" Lowe replies: "One murder." 16 children aged 5 & 6 and their teacher were killed by Thomas Hamilton.' www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...
James D. Worth14How did a failed English football chairman end up on one of the most popular American podcasts? White ethnonationalism, that's why. That's what Rogan promotes.
Annie Haz7Lowe is a deceptive lying spreader of disinformation. He's a scumbag & a skid mark on our political landscape. He's also a total cunt!
GreenSwizzleWooster6In better times this would have ended his further involvement in any public discourse. Cunt.
flyfella.bsky.social6There is nothing that shiteholes like Lowe & Farage won’t say to get people’s attention & make them sound like ‘outsiders’ To most of us they sound like arseholes.
The K is Silent5He probably dismisses it so flippantly because the gunman was a white British citizen. His only answer to any problem is “deport”. 😡
Tea Junkie3I'm assuming that Rogan didn't have the wit to challenge his nonsense.
Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain, rewrote history after describing the Dunblane school shooting as "one murder". Criticising the UK's gun ban on the Joe Rogan podcast, he said the ban came after "there was a murder in Dunblane". SIXTEEN children AND their teacher were killed in 1996 shooting.
Stephen Knowles23Sir Andrew Murray might be able to help if Lowe's memory is incomplete. Beware any politician who tries to rewrite history, it doesn't stop at one event.
Phil Hare's Ghost18Two of the survivors of that day were Jamie and Andy Murray, who hid under a desk together. I honestly hope they and their family don't see this. I can't imagine it would be easy to hold back if they did.
Paul Evans15* Hungerford, 1987 – 16 killed, 15 injured * Dunblane, 1996 – 17 killed, 15 injured * Cumbria, 2010 – 12 killed, 11 injured * Plymouth (Keyham), 2021 – 5 killed, 2 injured
Snigdha13In 2025 Rupert Lowe's guns were seized from his farm in the Cotswolds. Rupert Lowe, an independent MP after he was ousted from Reform over allegations of bullying, had the weapons taken by Gloucestershire Police. www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/glouces...
Mr E7Hang on. His point is that we've not had enough school shooters in the last 30 years? What?
Andrew Rait6Ah, predictably going after the NRA dollar... he'll be shilling for abortion bans, bible classes in school & flags everywhere next. So predictable
Dr Martin Roberts15Want to say that directly to the families of these children and their teacher, Mr Lowe?
Hugo Gordon 🇳🇴🇪🇸🇦🇷🇫🇷12Even leaving aside the crassness of his comments, this is yet another example of the British far-right being driven by American far-right Culture War talking points. There is very little support for wider gun ownership in the UK!
Alix Mortimer11Hope I’m not complacent but this feels too America-brained to succeed. We never had a “gun culture” that got cut off post-Dunblane. Maybe some old war stuff is in the loft, maybe farmers need guns, there are niche hobbyists. But on the whole guns never had the same cultural weight here as in the US.
RV 🇸🇩 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇮🇳 🇬🇧9These are the types of hideous statements that @andyburnham.bsky.social needs to call out when he inevitably takes over. Expose them for the hateful, fringe nutters that they are.
Cab Davidson7Apropos of nothing much, so far this year the UK has had 1 mass shooting, 1 dead and 3 injured. The US has had 281, with 304 killed, 1127 wounded. Per capita the US has had about 60x more mass shootings this year than the UK. So Rupert Lowe can do one.
Larky McRory 🏴🇪🇺6What a despicable object Rupert Lowe is.
Phil Hare's Ghost3Just seen the video of this. Not only did he say it, but when Rogan immediately queried "One murder?", this gammon faced waste of amino acids replied "One murder."
Jim Lutomski🏴☠️🏴3Lowe is despicable as is his rotten wee fascist party
Anthony Zacharzewski3*Rupert Lowe, frantically flipping through the European Convention on Human Rights, looking for the second amendment*
Rupert Lowe criticised for telling Joe Rogan there was just "one nurder" in Dunblane while criticising the handgun ban as an overreaction to the murder of 16 primary school children & their teacher www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
louise33andathird.bsky.social13Let him talk. People need to hear their nasty, niche minority views. Hardly any sane adult in the UK wants to rescind the ban on handguns. Those of us old enough to remember Dunblane…… He deserves to get yelled at in the street everywhere he goes.
Captain Hurley 🇺🇦 🇵🇸4Wow. That is how to make yourself rrrrrreally popular in the UK.
southyorkswhite.bsky.social3The right wing just lie constantly hoping the idiots who follow them will take it in
Brian Stafford2What is it with the far right and guns?
RV 🇸🇩 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇮🇳 🇬🇧9What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Chairman Moët4I'm always amazed how people who trade in racism for a living, from nudge nudge to kick them all out, consistently underestimate the UK public's innate anti-Americanism. We overwhelmingly don't want to have a US gun culture and think that people who do are really weird.
Sarah M2It gave me goosebumps reading that. Those children should be the last mass shooting in the UK, and banning handguns is such a small price to pay compared to the loss of innocent lives
Reminder that Rupert Lowe got his guns confiscated last year after allegedly threatening to shoot Zia Yusuf (you don't gotta hand it to Rupert Lowe, but fair play), and this was the trigger discipline on display when he was handing them over.
Bela Lugosi's Dad 🇻🇪 🏳️⚧️ 🇵🇸48I know people in the UK generally aren't super familiar with guns and trigger discipline, but you should not in fact transport dozens of shotguns in a wheelbarrow with all the barrels pointed forwards and directly at a photographer.
Nate O12Is that a shotgun with a suppressor?
Maddie (delicious, nutritious)6This might seem reductive but I think anyone in the UK who owns guns, plural, should be on a watchlist.
Former Pingu Child Actor (BANISHED)5He kept them in the Restore Porta-Potty, rent deducted from Company income.
It's coming home3it's nuts that he went on the Rogan podcast tbf
Reflector Dish 📡 🇵🇸4The British remake of Pulp Fiction has a much lower budget but almost all of that goes into their version of shooting Marvin in the face, which puts Scanners to shame! It also features a greater number of white people saying the N-word!

pope john calvin klein3walking towards the police or press with a wheelbarrow full of guns pointing at them is really something wild my god
I’ve just seen the video of Rupert Lowe and Joe Rogan dismissively describing Dunblane as ‘one murder’ and expressing incredulity that this was enough to bring in tighter gun control laws and this should have garnered a lot more coverage and a lot more outrage.
Sir Garfield De Umfreville, Baronet Bywell13So presumably he’s either getting funding from the gun lobby, Musk or both or he’s simply an absolute Cunt. All 3 aren’t mutually exclusive.
Stéphanie says… 🏴☠️🦈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️12Lowe regards anyone, unless you’re a white, cis male, as lesser people, or even not human. Referring to trans people as ‘filth’ is just the quiet word he knows he can say out loud.
Ellie4To be fair the man somehow is more obnoxiously right wing than Farage. He probably wants a gun to hunt “boat people” 🤦🏻♀️
Hugh Sykes2The coverage on The World At One made me sit up and notice, & that was the first time I'd heard about this mind-boggling insensitivity and ignorance - the reaction to which hopefully will do permanent damage to them both.
Teoes1News reports are just rebroadcasting the conversation in full!
Natasha Devon98At one point the listener is encouraged to consider that Lowe’s hunt-loving Dad, who had ‘all his pistols taken away from him’ in the aftermath, was the real victim of Dunblane. It really is eye watering stuff.
I Am Incorrigible8Also, the fact that Rupert Lowe is an overtly racist politician, with an extreme racist policy platform, & welcomes extreme racists as party members & supporters, should also disbar him from being included in our national political disciourse. This is fundamental. What are our media playing at?
Jerome Mazandarani3Dear America! #RupertLowe is not a serious person. He’s just another desperate grifter. #Dunblane was not just “one murder.” 16 children aged 5-6, and 1 teacher were shot dead by one man. If that isn’t enough for Lowe or 🧠 damaged meat sack, Rogan, I don’t know what is.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... What a piece of shit. Why is it always inadequate salty-pork men that want guns?
The Real Neil.4I didn't think it was possible to hate this vile chancer more but yet here we are.
Lost in History, OBC 🏴🇪🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇬🇱🇵🇦4The gaslighting to fluff the US gun lobby, the UK was in utter shock after it
Martha A 💙🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🔬2keep up the fight. Do not succumb to the notion of "only bad guys use guns for bad" signed Tired American
Mike - Towards a Metric America!2I'm a fucking American & was 2 years old, and I know how bad Dunblane was. This dude deserves to unrelenting scorn every time he shows his miserable face in public.
Soviet Mole1From his point of view, so what? Lowe is after US cash. He also described himself as 'pure blood' & left out the part where his own guns were seized by the police. He isn't a politician, he's a money funnel & he will say whatever it takes to get it. Right now the real cash is US fascist billionaires
