Shneur Odze, UKIP’s strictly Orthodox candidate for Mayor of Manchester, has explained why he burned what he believed was a missionary work masquerading as a Hebrew Bible.
The Mail Online reported he had set fire to the book after finding it in a synagogue but had subsequently removed pictures of doing so on social media.
According to the paper, Mr Odze had tweeted he was “grateful to whoever put a missionary Bible amongst our synagogue’s books. Was wondering what I’d burn my Chametz with.”
