What was said

Rupert Lowe posted that “with the British people's approval, a Restore Britain Government will put the Eritrean man who raped a pensioner outside a church to death.”

Why it counts

The pledge routes a killing through public approval, with no court in the path, and the nationality tag ties the crime to migrant origin, which is what carries it past a death-penalty policy argument.

A sitting MP proposing a named-by-origin execution by acclaim is the week's clearest crossing from advocacy into the violence tier.
