Glorious. This is how all journalism should be done.

"Why do you 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 talk about Pakistani grooming gangs? There are 𝙩𝙚𝙣 times as many white grooming gang suspects?"

@maitlis.bsky.social asks ex-Reform MP @rupertlowe.bsky.social why he won't denounce all perpetrators of grooming gangs equally.

Totally and utterly destroyed.

For much the same reason these charlatans harp on about a hypothetical trans lady in a bathroom while never mentioning the pandemic of violence committed by cis men against women (who typically get away with it)…

tomaskernohan.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's all a bit to late now,since when is politicians or the media interested in the truth?

louise31.bsky.social•15 days ago

Barefaced liar.🤥

labrador-lover1.bsky.social•16 days ago

I always wonder why these white racists aren’t concerned about white grooming gangs. It’s as if they find white grooming gangs acceptable.

gillwest.bsky.social•15 days ago

Racist Lowe taking the, “never mind your facts and stats, here’s my rancid, evidence-free opinion” approach. Maitlis handed him his backside roasted, but like playing chess with a pigeon that knocks over the pieces and craps on the board, he probably thinks he won that argument.

daveryan96.bsky.social•15 days ago

Love the pigeon analogy! Reform and their voters aren't bothered about facts or reason. It's all emotive. This is the reason you cannot *reason* with them. Attempts to talk them round only wind them up more, as you're effectively telling them their emotions are wrong.

georgesson.bsky.social•16 days ago

That's why good journalists leave the BBC.

richardbarfield.bsky.social•15 days ago

Hard to see why Labour fear people like Lowe.

jimhigham.bsky.social•15 days ago

Because too many people believe their lies unfortunately

That's not surprising if the lies are unchallenged.

deathsignal.bsky.social•15 days ago

Will it break through Roland. That's the question.

I hope it does, but sadly I fear it won't.

But fair play to Emily for calling him out as a racist pos.

deathsignal.bsky.social•15 days ago

He somehow also forgets to mention this. Christ he is the worst of us.

Complaining about foreign criminals specifically sounds like they're trying to protect the livelihoods of local criminals. Which, in some cases, may actually be true.

raglegumm.bsky.social•15 days ago

He's a racist

mattmoo16.bsky.social•16 days ago

Just listened to this, Rupert Lowe is next level prick.

Maitlis is excellent.

ididsaythat.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yup, her best takedown since Ponce Andrew.

ervinsperla.bsky.social•15 days ago

Harsh but

guystall.bsky.social•15 days ago

The fact he can’t see it says everything

guystall.bsky.social•15 days ago

Could not even bother to say looking at child exploitation by white men would be phase 2

michael-dee.bsky.social•16 days ago

And that in a nutshell is how these fuckers operate; the ‘takeaway’ for him and his supporters will be “Emily Maitlis doesn’t care about Pakistani grooming gangs”.

michael-dee.bsky.social•16 days ago

It’s a measure of how arrogant, conceited and thick Lowe is.
He obviously thought he could hold his own against Maitlis.
That was a bloodbath. 😂

Which island? Deported to where? Why would [country] agree to that? Will UK citizens need additional paperwork to demonstrate their rights? Will we need to carry this to avoid being deported from a beach? Would we deport if we were certain that the individual would face execution if returned?

pibasedlifeform.bsky.social•15 days ago

He's going to shoot his dog or have a close encounter upside down with a lamp post

hughmurnaghan.bsky.social•14 days ago

I'm a bit concerned, among a lot of things that I find distasteful about him and his statements in that clip, that the comment about people raping white women/girls seems to have been let go

hughmurnaghan.bsky.social•14 days ago

Far be it for me to suggest that he's a nasty racist...

Or at least sounding like one.

mrsvsmegma.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yep. A proper journalist. Massive loss to BBC but obviously the RW wankers who run it breathed a massive sigh of relief when she left.

Now compare her to wonky dog’s arsehole mouth

legwill.bsky.social•16 days ago

She’s great when she gets the hump. More of this please.

catherinestewart.bsky.social•15 days ago

Hess horrible man. Citing ‘girls’ rather than woman. Yuk
