What was said

Lowe, MP for Great Yarmouth and leader of Restore Britain, wrote that parts of Greater Manchester had been “demographically vandalised and bastardised beyond any recognition by mass immigration,” adding “You could be standing in the middle of Pakistan, and you wouldn't know the difference.” The post reached about 183,000 views.

Why it counts

Vandalised and bastardised are words for damage and defilement, and the thing doing the damage here is a group of people identified by where they came from.

No conduct is alleged. Nobody is accused of doing anything. The complaint is that the people are there, which is what separates this from an argument about immigration numbers.

"Seeing first-hand different parts of Greater Manchester and how they've been demographically vandalised and bastardised beyond any recognition by mass immigration? It is so very depressing. You could be standing in the middle of Pakistan, and you wouldn't know the difference."

One item from a weekly pass over 1,034 tracked accounts. Ninety-five items crossed the line this week. Thirty-five are here: every one from a carrier we can identify, with a reach figure we can report. The other sixty are not, and the reasons are worth stating. Thirty-five sat below the tiers this page carries. Twenty-five came from anonymous imageboard accounts with no measurable reach and nobody to hold to account, and most of those were logged upstream as new slur coinages for the research codebook, which is instrument-building rather than a finding about the week. All ninety-five are in the full report.
