I imagine that when the Mail weighs its slim sense of loyalty and principle vs. the opportunity to report that a sitting Prime Minister fucked a pig, the end of the scale goes “clunk” on the countertop.

Even if this isn’t true, it’s true, you know?

Just did some quick googling. Cameron is not going to ‘dignify’ this claim with a response. A top aide said he ‘hand’t read the book.’ It makes me think a little bit of Rob Ford and his, ‘I haven’t seen the video’ response to the crack video. The rest of us are sitting here thinking, “If someone said I had sex with a dead pig, it would be pretty easy for me to assure them that I hadn’t.”
In honor of Ford, Cameron might try something like the following: “I do not have sex with dead pigs, nor am I interested in having sex with dead pigs.”
Unfortunately for the world, however, it is unlikely that six to seven months from now, while high out of his mind, Cameron will just come and and say, “Yes, I had sex with a dead pig.”

I still reckon this is about the EU, and the crazies want Cameron out. At least I hope it is, as their rural voters love their EU subsidies, so this could cock things up mightily. Unless we just get Boris instead. Either way, there’s the schadenfreude for now, at least.

It now looks like it’s because Cameron went after Ashcroft for not paying tax because of his non-dom status. The Daily Heil are supporting this because Harmsworth is also a non-dom

I’d be surprised. The 15 minutes of fame applies to people who don’t or can’t remain in the public eye. Cameron has, by becoming a successful politician (by his standards, not ours), become someone who is always in the public eye. This is a sufficiently offbeat peccadillo that it will stick in people’s minds: if a politician’s life were a pop song, this would supply its hook. Want to bet that, from here on in, he will be the pig-fucker in most people’s eyes?

How many people remember what Jeffrey Archer or Grant Shapps did? OK, not 15 minutes, but as Harold Wilson said, three weeks is a long time in politics.
They didn’t fuck a dead pig, i can tell you that!

With Archer and Shapps, it is more like which scandal, although theirs were fairly common varieties. I think Cameron has managed a better “hook” than either of them. A good enough hook lasts a very long time. People of my generation can still tell you what John Profumo did (and I’m not even British).

I think this is something that will stick due to the absurd nature of it. Fraud and dodgy dealing are pretty mundane. This is probably more of a Berlesconi level of sleaze. In my mind at least he’ll always be David “Pig Fucker” Cameron!

It’s of a similar type, that’s for sure, one that betrays a lack of respect for… anything, I guess.

The story came out from the elite dining club to which Cameron belonged, which existed to do precisely that – they would descend on an expensive restaurant and order an expensive meal, then throw it around in a foodfight, break some furniture, maybe a window – all so as to pay the damages, and demonstrate the extent of their families’ wealth and their exemption from normal rules.
People knew all that in the last few elections. A little food-fucking at one of the club’s outings is only one more demonstration of Cameron’s ruling-class status.

Oh. dear. And I was thinking that a non-dom was a sub. Well, I suppose that clarifies things. Pity. I suppose I can always titter at the notion of fucking a pig.
