Lowe Expectations

Well done Ben for going elbow to knee against this unpleasant individual. But, you are right, we should never underestimate the reach of these individuals when they just spout filth and lies and somehow the population just wags it tail to them. To make it worse, Sir Kier just bends to their nonsense rather than staying focused on what actually matters which is the cost of living crisis, the dire state of public services and the blooming economy.

Lowe will be in a Welsh jail one day.

Full marks to you Ben, it just goes to show that the knuckle draggers who walk amongst us have only one myopic thought on their mind from the very moment they awake to the time they slouch back into sleep, no doubt even then to dream of foul ways to "deal" with the, as they see it "immigrant invasion". Only by laying into these disgusting vermin of the far right wether face to face or, as you did online does it bring out their utter utter foulness & show their true colours. These brain dead morons that the likes of Lowe attracts have no other coherent political thought/s in their heads aside from the immigrants not realising that it's not migrants that have caused the poor fiscal poverty of the UK but the wealthy such as Lowe, Farage et al who siphon their dosh out of the country or hide it behind numerous hedge fund type companies. as for Lowe casting his malevolent gaze towards Cymru well, as I've said here before, why is it always the most noisy ones who try to interfere with Cymru's affairs seem to either live in or have affiliation with the East of england? Keep up the good work Ben (not forgetting other contributors at NC of course). Despite Lowes so called followers I think you'll find an army of support here.

It's great for these right wing anti establishment parties to stoke up the hate rhetoric now but once in power it's extremely hard to continue to do so. In other words they become part of the hated establishment themselves and quickly fall out of power. People are looking for answers and someone to blame for their plight once they realise these populist parties aren't the answer - they'll be dumped very quickly.

Spot on Ben! Lowe advances English exceptionalism. For him, and his acolytes, the Wales they wish to see is the 16th to 19th Century Wales. A Wales that is socially, linguistically, culturally, economically and politically suppressed and one that has to go cap in hand to its Anglo superiors. The arrival of Chartism, trade unionism, the vote, Nye's health service, Welsh medium education, devolution, and Yes Cymru are all signs that the Taffs need to be put back in their box. The message from Lowe, Farage, and their fellow travellers, is clear. We are okay to go down the mine, or work in call centres, but how dare we challenge our London masters.

He wouldn't know what a day's work is.

Lowe went ape over some people including an ex marine rowing around off Yarmouth on a charity row. He is a nasty bit of work. Regarding twitter. Why not ask the government why they are still using it, ask them why they do not proscribe it when people are openly calling for insurrection and IRA type groups to take action in the UK. I can understand press keeping a presence on there but don't interact. It's musk nazi themed hate peddler and you will not win.

For once, I would have to dissent. Mr Lowe has long since joined the theatre of the absurd and is best ignored. I particularly enjoyed him mistaking a team of charity rowers for migrants off the coast of Great Yarmouth. To extend the analogy, he will sink his own boat sooner than later. Leave him to it and enjoy the comedy.

Although it can be hurtful when people react like this ‘honourable gent’ in reality what he says doesn’t seem worth listening to so why take notice of his personal comments. I feel that these people are dangerous because people follow them blindly and don’t think things through. Add this to the modern news outlets that are created by algorithms and AI we are living in worrying times. Independent media like Nation.Cymru is important but I wonder if it’s only read by people who go out of their way to find independent news so most of the sheep who blindly follow what is put in front of them by a robot will not change their view.

If I read the article correctly, Lowe's supposed crime is to express an opinion on Welsh politics, which seems little worse than people on this forum commenting on Trump, Le Pen or AfD. All the genuine nastiness came from other X users. I have never had an X account and have no interest in the nonsense that is posted on there. Perhaps Ben should stop confusing X with real life and, if he doesn't like what goes on Twitterland, delete his account and live in peace.
