Hello America! UK here. You think YOUR politics is fucked up? David Cameron £$%&$ed a pig.

You think YOUR politics is a mess...? Weeeellll....

Appaaaaaarently....

UK PM David Cameron stuck a ... COUGH... "part of his anatomy" into the mouth of a dead pig in his dim and distant youth, according to Lord Ashcroft, who has recently done a biography on him.

It's all over the UK press.

So. There you go. Take some comfort in the knowledge that no matter how low and dirty campaigning gets in the US... there's always still the UK...

"Cameron biography: Ashcroft makes new debauchery claims about student days"

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/21/david-cameron-pig-head-lord-ashcroft-unofficial-biography-drug-taking-claims

"No 10 says it will not 'dignify' Ashcroft's student debauchery allegations by responding to them"

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2015/sep/21/cameron-hit-by-student-drugs-and-debauchery-allegations-in-ashcroft-biography-politics-live

...and so on.

It's slightly odd that the first episode if Charlie Brooker's quasi-science-fictional Black Mirror's first episode is TERRIBLY similar to this story... He's tweeted about it saying he didn't know about it... waaaah!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Anthem_%28Black_Mirror%29

Anyway, puns all over the place now from fellow pols and others saying Cameron's "hogging the limelight" and so on. Ah, Blighty, you do me proud.



Daily Mash article is the best...

"Britons wearily accept that their Prime Minister put his cock in a pig's mouth"...

"Teacher Mary Fisher said: “I can’t remember whether I had already heard this or just thought I did."
