There are only so many times you can commend the Anglo-Saxon world, Anglo-Saxon values and Anglo-Saxon people before you start to sound, erm, “extreme”. But that’s not going to stop Rupert Lowe!
Nigel Farage is a nasty piece of work, but he at least tries to conceal his bigotry under enough of that “straight-talking everyman” shtick that you can just about understand how a disenfranchised or impressionable voter might be manipulated – and that is precisely what makes him dangerous. Lowe, on the other hand, the multimillionaire MP for Great Yarmouth and leader of Restore Britain, is so unashamedly hard-right that it is preposterous to imagine that anyone with such an unserious preoccupation with the idea that “Muslims don’t like dogs” poses a legitimate political threat.
No, as I discovered while suffering through Lowe’s two-hour appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, during which he must have mentioned it at least three times, Muslims don’t like dogs because Mohammed preferred cats. Gravely concerning. Did you know Muslims also destroyed Lebanon, once a thriving Christian country with great wine? That in “Islamic society” – where? Doesn’t matter, all the same, but probably Pakistan – women are second-class citizens forced to live a life of servitude and lick the feet of men? That these practices are tolerated within Britain, which is turning a blind eye to Sharia law?
In this wearying screed, ostensibly to publicise Lowe’s crowd-funded inquiry into rape gangs but really to promote himself as the saviour of Britain’s future and a great admirer of the American far-right, I learnt much about Britain that I did not already know.
The judiciary system is corrupt and judges are a woke quango. Most people are having to source their own medical treatment because they can’t access it on the NHS. Migrants on small boats get money and housing “instantaneously”. The Labour government want us to become a USSR-style culture. The deeply malignant BBC is dripping poison into our veins every day. The empire was a force for good because the Belgians and French were far more brutal colonisers than us. And that we are a “matriarchal society” in which women now have “an omnipotent position”.
Joe Rogan is one of the most influential podcasters in the world (Photo: Vivian Zink/Syfy/NBCU)I’ll hand it to him – he did at least have one original among his unsubstantiated claims, which is that the UK ban on handguns in the 1990s was an overreaction after “just one murder” in Dunblane. I had to listen twice to confirm that he was referring to the actual Dunblane massacre at which 16 children and one adult were killed and 15 more people were injured, and the resulting gun law that has meant that there has not been another school shooting in the 30 years since. Statistics are difficult to come by, but according to Gun Violence Archive, there were 503 in America in 2024 alone.
How thrilling it must be for Lowe to have a captive audience. Rogan, the world’s most influential defender of free speech whose podcast gets 11 million listeners per episode, knows little about British current affairs, politics or culture (Lowe generously and wrongly says many times, “as you’ve probably heard”, after making a reference). And so he laps up Lowe’s grim portrait of burning Britain, which functions as proof for American listeners who believe “socialism” is a threat to democracy that the social order outside the land of the free is crumbling. As Rogan points out: “You look at the Coliseum, you look at Ancient Greece, you wonder what happened to those guys? Probably what’s happening now to England – civilisations fall apart!”
According to Lowe, all this chaos goes right back to the post-war “plan” of multiculturalism, which has damaged the interests of the British people – diminishing our quality of life and making us susceptible to control and compliance. Now, everyone is afraid of being accused of “being biased and white”. Maverick Lowe, who reveres Enoch Powell and Tommy Robinson, certainly bucks that trend.
Lowe’s opinions aren’t really what shows him up here. This is Joe Rogan – if you’re listening, you’re hardly going to be surprised with the usual exhausting far-right chat: the anti-vax movement, leftist universities full of communist politicians who’ve never worked a real job in their lives, the whisper of conspiracy theories in words like “architects” and “malign influences” when referring to mainstream power.
No, what’s really embarrassing is that Rogan comes across more powerful. Lowe sounds like a posh Englishman wielding every stereotype we’ve heard a thousand times before. Rogan is more insidious: rationalising the things that might sound absurd, stating reasons why some of their ideas are overlooked in the mainstream media. By acknowledging that he and his views are “fringe” and explaining why, he legitimises them and himself. This feels a more effective way to forge opinions and shape minds than Lowe and his alarmist crusade.
Yet the deluded Lowe, committed to righting 80 years of institutional wrongs and cover-ups, is convinced that people are seeing sense and that Restore is destined for greatness. “Britain’s on the turn,” he said as a closing remark. I’m not sure that sounds as good as he thinks it does.
