Fury as Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe describes Dunblane tragedy as 'one murder'
The comment drew condemnation after Lowe reduced the Dunblane school massacre to a single killing during a podcast discussion of gun laws.
- On the Joe Rogan Experience podcast released Wednesday, Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe sparked outrage by dismissing the 1996 Dunblane massacre as "one murder."
- The 1996 Dunblane Primary School shooting remains the deadliest mass shooting in UK history, when gunman Thomas Hamilton murdered 16 children aged five and six and their teacher, Gwen Mayor.
- Scottish Conservative MSP Stephen Kerr condemned the remarks as "astonishingly insensitive," while Clackmannanshire and Dunblane SNP MSP Keith Brown called Lowe "a stain on our politics."
- Following the massacre, the Snowdrop Petition gathered more than 750,000 signatures, driving the Cullen Inquiry and 1997 legislation by the Conservative government banning higher-calibre handguns.
- Currently on a US tour, Lowe is scheduled to meet Elon Musk on Sunday, continuing efforts for Restore Britain, which he founded after leaving Reform UK last year.
