NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The coverage of Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe's comments on the Dunblane school massacre is broadly consistent across the sources, with all outlets reporting that he referred to the tragedy as "one murder" despite the fact that 16 students and a teacher were killed. The BBC News report focuses on Lowe's criticism of the handgun ban, while Sky News emphasizes the backlash against his comments, using the word "fury" to describe the reaction. Metro's report is more straightforward, simply stating the facts of the massacre and Lowe's comment. The tone of the reports varies slightly, with Sky News using more emotive language than the other two sources.
