He could of course claimed that the pig represented Gammon Trump.

"Accidentally tweeted"? My aris!

[Mamyalynne]

" I accidentally Tweeted " will long be remembered as a cop out for many I fear.

[wolf63]

Is that mop on head a wig?

[Ken4155]

Yeah, mamy, just like 'Fake news' and 'mis-spoke'.

[dannyk13]

//aying he "stupidly tweeted it in a meeting without checking it properly"//
No mention of it being an accident.

[Mamyalynne]

Is that on a bicycle?

[hereIam]

LOL.

[-Talbot-]

There actually is mention of it being an accident, danny.

[dannyk13]

Sorry Talbot,couldn't read the small print.Must go to Specsavers.

Looks like clear He also said this //well bug isn’t the bigger case against him The 68-year-old has caused anger with his tweets previously, and had to apologise in one instance after saying he would punch a female journalist "in the throat" if he was ever on a talk show with her.//

So it looks like that he’s an islamaphobic, sexist and homophobic bigot who my guess is that he’s possibly also a racist but I have no proof just a personal hunch but isn’t the bigger story here is that he was at a meeting, a PAID meeting no doubt and one where as an Mp it was possible that whatever was being discussed was was of a life changing or country changing nature and instead of concentrating on the issues at hand he decided to give his full attention to using photoshop and and Twitter?


//Lichfield MP Mr Fabricant said: "Because I was distracted in a meeting and saw it on a tiny iPhone screen, I didn't spot what it really was.//

Well a 4.7” screen is ample for everyone else with an iPhone so clearly a liar as well?

He should be cordially invited to leave his position of trust immediately imo.

"I accidentally tweeted a vile picture.................." First sentence of his letter, Danny. D'you think i made it up?

For anyone who wants to see the image in question, you can do so here:

I have to say I was expecting something far worse having read all the furore.

[dannyk13]

Ken, check my post at 14;48.

[Kromovaracun]

I mean, it's a bit embarassing in an 'old person tries to make a meme' sort of way. But I don't really understand the outrage.

[Ken4155]

Danny, busy typing my response when you were posting:-/ And my response may have been a tad curt, shall we say, but i'm not one of those who misquotes. I leave that to our politicians :-)

[Minkyme]

//But I don't really understand the outrage.//

Really? So if it was a Jewish Mayor and this same image depicted the Jewish mayor being raped by a pig as this one depicts sidiq or was a being raped by a nazi soldier would that be acceptable in your opinion?

[Kromovaracun]

To be clear, when you say "raped by a pig", you mean it shows a balloon of Khan with a balloon pig on his back in a slightly suggestive mounting position.

At the very worst, it's a bit dumb and unoriginal. I really can't say it makes me angry though...

I saw much worse (and much funnier tbh) images of Cameron during Piggate.

//To be clear, when you say "raped by a pig", you mean it shows a balloon of Khan with a balloon pig on his back in a slightly suggestive mounting position. //

And as a Muslim I’m pretty sure sidiq wouldn’t have been a consenting partner.

It is offensive, Fabricant knew this, the public know this and the whole world knows this.

[Kromovaracun]

It is know, Khaleesi.
