Should he now be 'fired'?
What I can't understand, this has been his profile picture on Twitter since September but it is said that it has only recently been brought to light.
His excuse was "I am running for election this year and I think the opposition have picked it up and are trying to summon up some dirt about it".

/// Images of Farage with a gun would be very disturbing because, in the minds of some, he seems the sort of man who might one day go on a shooting spree ///
You may disagree with his politics but that is a shocking thing to say, I only hope for you that his lawyers don't see what you have put.

A councillor cannot be fired, but his party can de-select him and the voters can not vote for him. I doubt he would lose his 'job' as a magistrate over a photo taken in another country.
But why would his party de-select him? The weapon wasn't his. It was not in this country. Was not illegal as far as we know. It was not fired or used illegally.
Not sure it is the right image for the LibDems though. More suited to Vladamir Putin's Party.

"I bet it would have if it had been Nigel Farage posing in such a way."
Why? You still have not explained why you think any media furore over this picture is warranted, nor what is so disturbing about it.
Like I say, some wannabee politician holding a gun would not persuade me to vote for them, so I think it more a symptom of juvenile macho- ness more than anything else - but why is it a "firing" offence?
I suspect jno has the right of it.

If only posing with a machine gun WAS a sackable offence....
