Rupert Lowe

[Tamesaint]

Being a dad of a certain age with centrist political views I naturally listen to the Rest is Politics podcast. It is hosted by ex MP and Tory Cabinet minister Rory Stewart and Tony Blair's ex spin doctor Alistair Campbell. 

Campbell is a Burnley fan. In a recent podcast he claimed that before Saints Burnley games he used to have lunch with Rupert Lowe. He described Lowe as the most right wing person that he had ever met.... and I bet that he has encountered a few!!

As far as I remember, didn’t he take money out of the club to prop up his ailing West Country nursing homes?

I can’t remember anything about that and whilst he was an arrogant disaster as a Chairman, I doubt he’d have done anything like that whilst at the club. Happy to take large scale furlough payments of £100k whilst his firm made a £8m profit during Covid, and a total hypocrite over net zero and selling heat pumps https://www.desmog.com/2024/08/27/reform-mp-rupert-lowe-great-yarmouth-owns-green-tech-company-heat-pumps-nigel-farage-climate-change/ but I can’t recall nor envisage him doing that.

Took long enough but I have finally managed to dig it up

"An MP has admitted he mistook a charity rowing crew for "illegal migrants".

Independent MP Rupert Lowe shared a picture on X on Thursday, showing a boat close to wind turbines , externalnear Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and wrote, "Dinghies coming into Great Yarmouth, RIGHT NOW".

HM Coastguard contacted the crew to confirm their identities and it was revealed the boat was a team of charity rowers attempting to travel from Land's End, Cornwall, to John O'Groats, Scotland. "

"Mr Lowe posted about the boat at about 20:25 BST and said he had alerted the authorities.

He added that if the people on board were illegal migrants he would be "using every tool" to ensure they were deported.

However, at 06:38 on Friday, he explained the "unknown vessel" was a false alarm.

He said: "We received a huge number of urgent complaints from constituents - I make no apologies over being vigilant for my constituents. It is a national crisis."

 

( And yes, I have edited out some other parts of the story for dramatic effect ).

I mean, there are no words. They are coming from France, they have the whole of the south coast to aim at and this prick thinks they are turning right, going along the east coast and looking for a nice quiet beach in Great Yarmouth !!!!
