'Millions must go'.. unless they're here legally?

'Conservative Friends of Pakistan' 'Labour Friends of India' 'Reform Friends of Israel' Restore Britain will not allow foreign lobby groups to operate within our party - promoting their own interests, shaping policy or dictating priorities. We will not allow it. We will put one group of people first, each and every time. The British people. Our name is Restore Britain. We exist to represent Britain and the British people. Nothing else.

The reason we know this is because if there was a Restore Friends of Canada group, or a Restore Friends of New Zealand group, they wouldn't be especially animated. If, though, Uncle Rupe endorsed a Restore Friends of Israel group (the way Farage has in Reform), Restore's online activist base would be up in arms saying Lowe and Restore was "cucked by zionists". They'd be furious because "anti-zionism" is the keystone to their entire world view. The people who actually run Restore are keen to keep those people placated - because if they don't, they have no online activist base. The Rupert Lowe fanclub isn't big enough to keep Restore running as a going concern, so they're dog whistling to fascists. The casual Restore supporter thinks they're supporting a robust civic nationalist party in the image of Rupert Lowe, but what they're actually supporting is a nascent BNP with politics closer to the far left than conservatism. We can safely assume that Rupert Lowe is oblivious to this because he doesn't really take an interest in the intellectual direction of his party, and will take any support he can get. He's also not all that well versed in the ideological terrain he's occupying, so he doesn't see what's going on under his very nose. There is a massive gulf between what Lowe actually thinks and what his leading activists and staffers think. This is why Restore Britain is a dead man walking. No party can sustain a façade where the views of its supporters are so wildly divergent with those of the leader. They tolerate Rupert Lowe because without him, they've got nothing, and would have to start a party of their own - which would be electorally insignificant. Because Lowe is prone to the occasional gaffe, saying what he actually believes (not least his support for Israel and free markets) his handlers try to keep him contained. He is now little more than a managed figurehead. They're training him to at least stay relatively neutral on things he believes so as not to upset the grotbags. He's compromised his own ideology to keep a dysfunctional coalition in operation. Meanwhile, his residual respectability is what keeps up the pretence that that Restore isn't a proto-fascist party for twenty seven year old virgins. This is a Faustian pact that allows Lowe to prosecute his vendetta against Farage, while giving the grotbags a political vehicle they could not sustain without him. This, though, is life limited. Being a party leader is a much younger man's game. Lowe has stamina but he's ageing out of frontline politics. He's not senile but he's lost his sharpness. He doesn't really understand his own creation or who he's climbing into bed with. Sooner or later, probably after the next election when Restore badly underperforms, he will take a back seat, and we'll see more of Charlie Downes. This is when Restore will start falling apart. Downes is similar to Farage is that he has a limited repertoire that will soon get old. There's no depth to him and he's never had a real job. He will create controversy but the shock value will wear off and the party will routinely self-sabotage. A lot of the energy and momentum has already evaporated, and quite a few serious people who might have otherwise joined have already concluded that Lowe is away with the fairies and that his party is a bunch of wankers. Word is getting around and eventually the money will dry up. It can only be sustained if the social media revenue is enough to cover the salary bill. It will linger the way Ukip has, just because it's a recognises brand with residual value to its intellectual property. It will never reach the heights Reform was at (even before the return of Farage). The problem is, the children running Restore think that the very online activist base they pander to is representative of the wider electorate (certainly within their own demographic). It's sizable but it isn't significant. It's kryptonite to any remotely normal, well adjusted voter - and it's only going to get worse.

Based on sampling recent posts from RupertLowe10 and RestoreBritain: Both accounts: Reform UK ~40% Conservatives ~30% Labour ~25% Others (Lib Dems etc) ~5% They frequently hit Reform and Tories together over the Iran war and immigration failures, while targeting Labour as the current government on borders and policy. Exact counts aren't possible without full archives, but this reflects the dominant pattern in current output.

The Iran war, backed by Reform and the Tories, has made life so much more expensive for working British families. Restore Britain said no.

Since the July 2024 election, reported cases include: MP Dan Norris (now independent): arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, voyeurism and upskirting; CPS considering charges. Denies all. Former MP Conor McGinn: charged with sexual assault; trial pending. Denies. Councillors: David Graham (Fife) convicted of sexual activity with a girl aged 13-15, jailed. Conor McGrath (Stevenage) convicted of making indecent images of children, suspended sentence. Liron Velleman (Barnet) convicted of child sex communication offences, suspended. Sam Gould (Redbridge) convicted of indecent exposure involving a 13-year-old, suspended. Adrian Hughes (Dudley) convicted of online child sex offences, jailed. Irfan Mohammed (Lambeth) charged with sexual assaults and exposure, trial pending. No official exhaustive list exists; these are from court and police reports. Unconvicted persons are presumed innocent.

It was only a matter of time. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Another massive step forward for Restore Britain.

A letter to Nigel Farage. ✍🏼

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
