The best of Twitter on #piggate

[blacksunday]

The front page of the Daily Mail is reporting allegations that David Cameron once did something indecent with a pig. Here are the best Twitter reactions.

ello, and welcome to our #piggate round-up – what?

You’ve not heard about #piggate yet?

No?

Ah, well this is awkward.

The thing is, this morning the Daily Mail – and this is all still allegations of course – posted a rather, er, bracing front page.

The short version is that they’re serialising a new book on David Cameron, by Lord Ashcroft and Isabel Oakeshott, which contains some. . . interesting claims about the PM.

We’ll just leave this here for you to read. . .

"David Cameron once did something indecent with a pig."

Maybe not a pig pig, but over our lifetime I think most of us can own up to that, one way or another. lol

Sex, pigs, drugs, and rock and roll - thats the alleged Eaton, baby.

Still no one from Eaton fecked the economy prior to 2010, but the feckers from Eaton have certainly got the economy out of the pig-shit - that clueless Labour 2-3 years into the financial/economic - had no ideas how to muck us out of.

This is all in the public interest, but I do think it sad that Lord Ashcroft who has alleged that he was promised a top job in 2010 but didn't get one, felt the need to carry on his gripe.

Many Conservatives in 2010 didn't get jobs they probably deserved due to the coalition cards the electorate dealt Cameron, as the Lib Dems needed to be adequately represented within the government.

Based on the economic/financial turn around in the first 5-years and price the Lib Dems ended up paying for doing what was right for the country, I think if any 'party' has a right to feel hurt, it is the Lib Dems not Lord Ashcroft.

I wish we had a thumbs up emote. ^ Spot on.

Sorry, i am being thick. What does bae of pigs mean? I get the allusion to the Bay of Pigs Kennedy thing, but what does bae mean?

bae...I don't know, but what was alleged, was that the pigs head/mouth 'received', and that there was no apple involved.

'Bae' is slang for 'Babe', nowadays... ;)

and that there was no apple involved.

Not even a cox's apple.

I still don't entirely get the Babe of Pigs meaning, even assuming the Disney-esk like character is referred to.

The thing is that Paxo type 'stuff' has been alleged, that may or may not have been witnessed, that may or may not have been involved a senior (or two and more?) politicians whilst at school.

Still, it may or may not, sell books.

I have just heard on Sky News that the intro/preface (whatever) in Lord Ashcrofts book, as a reason to write the book, states that the poor lamb "had a beef" with Cameron .... hence an unsubstantiated pork within. Oh deer, what will the pheasants think? Doh

Did he just place his member within the pig in youthful (and probably drunken) high spirits or did he actually allow himself to become anatomically capable of intercourse and then penetrate the pig and remain their until issue?

As you are clearly into a bit of beastiality, I looked into this for you; apparently there is a photograph of Cameron, who has a corked screw shaped wiener similar to a pigs tail, rotating it as entering while doing some horizontal folk dancing at the same time.

When you’ve finished up, I’m sorry to have to tell you that there can’t be any facts, as this is a someone said, that someone else, probably saw an initiation of a club MEMBERship Cameron never belonged to, ….. yada yada yada.

Another fact is that no paper or magazine could/would have responsibly published such pigs slurry at NONE of it can be substantiated.

It is thought that Ashcroft who often disagreed with Cameron’s policies he indirectly through earlier donations helped fund, and so spent much of his time before the last election publishing polls that gave the Tories no chance of winning, had the ‘Dave’ book half done, HOPING to add ‘who never won an election’ on the cover –and not only got unpleasantly surprised when he did win a majority, but found the polling businesses reputation for accuracy is now WORSE than pants.

Labour had Lord Sainsbury similarly funding them with £millions for a while and they gave him some role in a ministry, science related if memory serves, and he happily went about his job, even had some successes I believe.

But apparently, hell hath no furry like a money man scorned - who once was considered a patriot, but never got the government job he says he was promised, so now wants to dish the shit, substantiated or not.

I'm not so sure this story has no substance, it now makes sense that he announced that this term as PM would be his last- as if he knew something was in the pipeline. And he has been looking tired and haggard lately, as if he has been worrying about something. Anyway, as fun as these pig 'allegations' are they do distract from the real kill shots- he allowed class A drug consumption at his property! Surely that alone should alienate at him from the possibility of being PM? Oh and the financial obfuscation? Really? Don't get me wrong, I'm Torie to the marrow, but seeing as they've got a Punch and Judy character as leader on the other side I feel like I can relax my usual rabid defence of the PM, particularly in light of these damning revelations. What we need is a total cleaning of house in the upper echelons of the Party- we have a bunch of gaff prone buffoons( GO getting in bed with China has really pissed me off) who need to be made gone.
BTW- often we'd allow non-members to attend functions of certain societies when I was at Cambridge. We'd even allow mock initiation ceremonies.

Cameron had a big job in 2010, with feck all in place to do it, so no wonder he looks "haggard" and wants to leave after 2-terms, especially when there is little appreciation of how bad the situation was in 2010, and what his party/team has achieved.

Drugs as a youth, personally I have never even smoked never mind thought of drugs, but I'm guessing that quite a few of our politicians dabbled in their 'youf' - its what you do afterwards and those before were clueless on everything, so well done Cameron.

Labour's extended pub opening hours and all the damage to bodies that has done, and looking to declassify drugs and put a casino in every town (before seeing the light) hardly shows a better moral compass.

As to cleansing the Lords, maybe, but their purpose has to remain and having the police investigate PM Blair selling Lordships for party donations to me points to 'if it ain't broke, don't try to FIX it'.

China funding our power stations, I'm not overly happy, but we need several power stations, Labour in 2005 had a 'push for nuclear' but sold our only expertise (Westinghouse), gave the contract to the French State (EDF) expecting they'll fund it - but even under their last energy minister E Miliband, by 2010 had not broken the ground on ONE power station - and had spent all the money that MIGHT have funded them on god knows what else.

so not the best of twitter, theres much funnier stuff on it
