In January of 2025, Nigel Farage made a pledge to the people of Britain, and he did it on the Left-leaning radio station LBC (London Broadcasting Company). It isn’t unusual for politicians to make pledges any more than it is for them to go on to break them, but he promised to fund an inquiry the government had voted against having. That inquiry was to be into what is, or was until recently, universally referred to as the “grooming gang scandal.” On June 17 this year, not 18 months later, that report appeared. But it wasn’t Farage’s report. Like a Bond movie or a comic-book strip, it was his nemesis, his arch-enemy Rupert Lowe, who produced the report the British deep state didn’t want people to see.

None of this is to belittle the case, but it will be well documented here at Counter-Currents, and I want largely to stay away from the text and look at the context. The Lowe Report, if we can call it that, is dynamite, politically speaking, but dynamite has a fuse. The very people, the very class of people Lowe is implicitly blaming for the events detailed in quite gruesome detail in the report, are the ones who have tried to stop this report, or any other resembling it, from ever seeing the light of day. The reason for this reluctance to scrutinize sexual malfeasance is that it tends to go with a certain demographic. The constant political obstruction to a statutory report is at the very least in part as a result of pressure from the Muslim Council of Britain and affiliated organizations and mosques. Muslims, at least in Britain, are excellent networkers. I’m not an anthropologist, but it may come from tribal genetics we are fast losing. And that is the first explosion in the Lowe Report.

It’s not all Muslims but it is always, to a 95% surety, Muslims. There are talk-show midwits who point out that white British men commit more sexual offences than Muslims, but these people don’t understand the concept of per capita. I’m not being glib. I have heard more than one talking head, presumably being paid for her clucking, say just that. It’s so Left-wing. A new mathematics for a new age. And the mathematics are very much against Muslims in the case of the grooming-gang scandal. The percentages are in the report and I won’t waste time regurgitating them, but if this were evidence in a court-case, the defendant would have little chance of a non-custodial sentence. Incidentally, the other day saw the first British court case in which the judge, both barristers, the defendant, and the clerk of the court were all foreign-born. Justice may be blind, but she is diverse.

Again, this is not to make light of the suffering that the 219-page report details. To compare it to the work of de Sade is not to belittle the whole thing, either. There is a ghastly similarity between the witness statements in the report and the nastier scenes in Juliette or The 120 Days of Sodom. And another feature of the witnesses is Lowe’s second detonation. They were almost all white. Everything today in the UK is designed to be looked at through the lens of race, but with the telescope the right way around. What had been dismissed by the political and media class as a sort of cross between a conspiracy theory and some far-Right canard has now suddenly hit that class smack in the face. And the worst thing about it was that there was racism involved, a crucifiable offense today. But it wasn’t coming from the right-colored people. “Kuffar bitch” is one of many colorful phrases spat out at white girls as they were being raped by multiple brown men. Lowe’s report is a catalogue of horrors, but that’s not why the political class and the media are horrified.

I will dip briefly into the text from the Executive Summary. Nietzsche often said he wanted his words to be dynamite, even that he himself was dynamite, and it is worth bearing that in mind in the ideological context of modern Britain and Lowe’s report. This is the opening line of the Executive Summary:

The Rape Gang Enquiry examined the systematic targeting of vulnerable girls, overwhelmingly White British, by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs across towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom.

Lowe and his people—he is firm about crediting them, it’s not “his” report—have said the unsayable. “Grooming gang scandal” is what people say in polite, or policed, society. “Grooming” has a good feel to it, something you do to a horse, or personal grooming. “Rape Gang” has a somewhat different semantic aura. The Lowe Report is not calling the perpetrators groomers, they’re not stable-girls. It’s calling them rapists. Also, the report mentions “predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs.” This is also very much not the done thing, and the Media and their Muslim puppeteers bristled accordingly. The state-approved phrase is “men of Pakistani descent/heritage.” It gives the rapists a sort of exotic charm. But Lowe and co. are telling the truth, and the whole apparatus of the British deep state is geared to stop anything like that from ever happening. And Lowe doesn’t stop at defying one or even two taboos:

The demographic and cultural drivers are clear. Perpetrators from Pakistani Muslim and other Muslim backgrounds operated under an honour- and shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially white working-class girls, as property available for sexual use.

Now, that would have read differently had this been a government report. “There are troubling reports that some of the incidents indicate a demographic bias, almost certainly due to inequality and climate change,” a government spokesperson would have said. Instead, Lowe is going full Solzhenitsyn here. If there are historians of the future, and whichever language they write in, they may recognize this report as one of history’s more important documents. That is not hyperbolic, or at least isn’t intended to be. Lowe has tapped into something long dormant in the British psyche; the need for a rational, measured presentation of the truth. Britain is the land of Locke and Newton, Russell and the Industrial Revolution. We like a bit of truth, and Lowe doesn’t know that in the sense he is tagging along with something for political dramatic effect. He believes it. But what of Lowe himself?

As I write, polling will have begun in the Makerfield by-election in north Manchester. The Labour candidate is Andy Burnham, who has been shipped in to stand for the seat after the incumbent MP (Member of Parliament) obligingly stood down to do the bidding of Millbank, Labour’s London HQ. If Burnham wins, he will almost certainly launch a leadership challenge to Keir Starmer and he will almost certainly win. This would make him leader of the Labour Party and, by default, Prime Minister. Who can stop Burnham, Mayor of Manchester and self-styled “King of the North,” as though we were back in feudal times. Come to think of it, perhaps that’s not far off. Britain is feeling very barons-and-serfs just at the moment. But who are the pretenders to the throne of this king?

Second in the polling are Reform, Farage’s Party, whose star is in the ascendant. Or it was. Rupert Lowe’s party, Restore UK, are polling significantly higher than either the Conservatives, the Lib Dems, or the Greens, and the party is just a few months old. There is no chance of them winning the seat, but they may split the vote. In fact, they certainly will split the Right-wing vote. The question is by how much. And here is where things get difficult.

You can order Greg Johnson’s Loving Our Own here.

Polling has been much under scrutiny in recent years. As Peter Hitchens consistently points out, polls are not there to reflect, they are there to manipulate. When the poling gives Labour’s Burnham 49%, Reform 43%, and Restore 8%, those figures mean that it is no surprise that many on the Right wanted Lowe to stand down and give Farage a clear run. But ground-level static is giving Restore a much bigger slice of the pie than perhaps polling is letting on. It is also important not to forget one other thing, something both Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage would understand and agree on; human nature. The two men hate each other.

The story of Rupert Lowe’s ejection from Reform UK is an ugly one, but you can see the mechanics of it. Farage’s civic nationalism balked at Lowe’s suggestion of mass deportations. Lowe had to go, and Farage has said so openly. What Farage doesn’t talk about so much is how his second-in-command, the Muslim Zia Yusuf, tried to have Mr. Lowe thrown in jail for threatening behavior. Rupert Lowe is 67 and a gentleman farmer. Zia Yusuf, at 35, is what is popularly termed a “fighting-age male.” An office brawl instigated by Lowe seems unlikely, but it’s not about that. Reform needed to smear Lowe. Farage couldn’t admit to firing him because his policies would displease the Muslim Council of Britain and The Guardian, so it was put out that he was a violent man. When that happened, and when the rape gang inquiry Farage promised to find and produce failed to materialize, it reminded me of the end of Orwell’s Animal Farm. The final description is of the other animals looking from man to pig, and pig to man, and already not being able to tell them apart. It used to be Farage against the machine. Now he is an admittedly large and important cog in that same machine.

How will Farage feel, seeing that the report he himself pledged to produce has now been brought out by a man he expelled from his own party, and let his Muslim aide de camp try to have thrown in Wandsworth Prison? The media are trying their best to downplay the Lowe Report, they can’t do anything else. They are there to protect Islam as a brand, whoever their ultimate paymasters are. I had a little trawl through the papers but it is all pretty dismissive and anodyne. One line made me laugh, albeit sardonically. The Independent Business Times UK is at pains to point out that the low-end figure of 250,000 given in Lowe’s report and pertaining to the total number of abused girls, is “not an official government figure.” My. Perhaps we shouldn’t trust it, then. I am working on a piece about the British deep state, so I’ll keep my powder dry on that one.

The main problem for Farage is this. He is going to have to talk about the Lowe Report, and there will be people watching him and listening to his language very carefully. It may be that he supports it, but Muslims are not averse to out-sourcing their taqiyya, their Koran-mandated permission to lie in the cause of the ummah. Farage has openly admitted that alienating Muslims would lose Reform the Muslim vote, and he will have done deals already. If Lowe had his way, on the other hand, the same imams Farage would be praying with would be on the next chartered flight to Karachi.

Here’s a thought experiment. Let’s say there really is a deep state that will go full John Le Carré and kill its political opponents. Those British readers who remember the case of Dr. David Kelly a quarter of a century ago won’t need much persuading there. In the arena of politics, given that dark forces had a kill list, who would top it? It was Nigel Farage. Now it’s Rupert Lowe. A grisly supposition, but it may not be the first number one spot Rupert Lowe takes from Nigel Farage.
