A woke, car and music loving, Pro-EU, antifascist, anti-Zionist, Palestine & Ukraine-supporting socialist. Vegan for the animals, Green for the politics.

Rupert Lowe appears to be a closet vegan.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
