A U.K. politician has apologized after he shared a photo of bacon as he prepared to fast in solidarity with Muslims during Ramadan.
Ian Manning, a county councillor in Cambridgeshire, tweeted the image in the early hours of Saturday as he prepared to join fellow Liberal Democrats in fasting for a day on Saturday.
He shared a picture of his pre-dawn meal of boiled eggs and bacon on Twitter, adding in a caption: "Up early to start my fast for #LibDemIftar! Really not sure I'll get through to the evening but we'll see!"
But after many pointed out that Muslims don't consume pork, Manning deleted the tweet and apologized.
Re food photo earlier. important point is the fast. Allergies mean choices limited. This is a learning experience, and I'd prefer to be honest about it than not. Sorry if it caused offence @MuslimCouncil @shahidarahman @ihrahman also, it was 4am and I was half asleep.
However, he maintained that the "important point is the fast" and said his choices were limited due to allergies.

In another tweet, he added: "Am reminded again, that no matter what good you try and do, some people will always look for the flaws."
Manning also said that the incident was one of his "finest moments of idiocy."
"I just didn't think about it. Because there was some bacon in my fridge, I had some bacon," he said, according to The Telegraph newspaper. "I went on Twitter and posted the eggs and the bacon, tagged the Muslim Council of

Islam is a war plan.
well... at least he is eating bacon. There is hope for him.
If the US had a couple million muzzies in concentration camps, jihad would be full scale. But the CCP does it, and none of them care.
Probably because they are on the same side, all the way back to 9/11.
What a wuss.
Quit apologizing.
Appeasement never works. Bullies see it as weakness and turn and savage you even more.
To be fair, we may not know everything going on in China.
It's on the bucket list.
To compensate he’s going to beat his wife twice today.
OH, and kick the dog.
England has a disease, and its not the rona.
The true response was to not suck moslem yarbles in the first place. But, having done so with bacon, respond to any complaints by finding the first moslem you can and kick him in the nutsack.
Pip pip, wot?

What sort of pathetic idiot fasts in solidarity with a religion not their own?
Sounds like an excellent “in your face” to the muzz!
DANCE for the muslims.
The festival of EID is ten days of celebration of when they will have cut the throats of all the infidel. Traditionally in Jordan it is celebrated by sacrificing animals and decorating the bushes and fences around your house with the entrails and letting them rot in the sun for those ten days. The smell is to remind you of the smell of all the dead infidel rotting in the streets when the Muslims purge the earth.
So it is quite ironic to join in a celebration of your own slaughter by simpering cucks.
wuss...lol Perfect word for him :)
Plus now I want a BLT
Further proof that you can’t fix stupid.
That’s pretty messed up.
Too bad civilization is subject to the capitulating cowards.
Never apologize for bacon.
I’ll take “Unclear on the Concept” for $200, Alex.
