LOWE POINT
“RUPERT LOWE, the MP for Great
Yarmouth, made an antisemitic comment during a meeting in parliament earlier this year, the
Guardian
can reveal,” that paper reported on 22 May in a scoop that used curiously vague wording.
“In a leaked recording, Lowe can be heard remarking on the size of the camera being prepared to take footage of him. ‘In days gone by you’d call it a Jewish camera, but that would be politically incorrect. Because it’s so small,’ Lowe said.” The paper reported that this “triggered laughter in the room, and the person filming appeared to reassure him the video would be edited. Someone out of shot said ‘career over in a second’, and Lowe laughed.”
