Rupert Lowe, the now independent MP for Great Yarmouth who was suspended by the Reform Party, has been accused of making anti-semitic remarks in a meeting with staff. The MP is alleged to have said “In days gone by you’d call it a Jewish camera, but that would be politically incorrect. Because it’s so small” and then laughed about his remark after it was queried. The Board of Deputies of British Jews said in a statement:
“This is bizarre and outdated antisemitic language which has no place in our politics. Mr Lowe should apologise for the offence this remark has caused.”
Lowe has rejected the allegations made against him by the Reform Party which led to his suspension. In a response to the media about the latest allegations, Lowe said “it was clearly a joke”.
