David Cameron piggate fiasco, Call Me Dave

David Cameron is taking social media by storm this week but for all the wrong reasons.

When a story broke Monday Cameron refused to comment saying to do so would add some sort of credence to the story.

Tuesday the story is trotting along nicely without his input this time around.

The story centres around an allegation published in a new unofficial biography of Cameron, Call Me Dave, by Lord Ashcroft and Isabel Oakeshott; it is alleged that PM Cameron once engaged in a "bizarre ritual with a dead pig."

The story is not sourced by name but rather anonymous. It may or may not be true but either way it will be a difficult story for Cameron to dismiss.

If he is innocent of wrongdoing he could perhaps sue; in fact he may find that is the only way to put the brakes on piggate or knobgate as it is being called on Twitter et al.

The story is in most if not all mainstream publications, is attracting a variety of comments and must surely be a huge embarrassment for Cameron and the Conservative Party.

The allegations say that during a "bizarre university dining club ritual", an initiation ceremony, David Cameron, and presumably others, stuck his genitals into the mouth of a dead pig's head.

Downing Street declined to comment but later a party source later specifically denied the allegation.

The drinking club is the decadent Piers Gaveston club; Cameron sources have also denied he was ever a member of that club but piggate rolls on.

Opinion: How easy will it be for Cameron to bury this story? Imagine meeting him now? Could you keep a straight face? Does the story make you laugh or squirm? It is after all abuse of a dead animal and we should not just giggle at such silly antics.

Did he or didn't he is the big question. Although how will he wriggle out of this one is probably a bigger question.

The story and its memes are here to stay at least for now.

Above are just a few of the #piggate images on Twitter-the least offensive too
And the fact that most people are prepared to believe it could have happened must say something about PM Cameron and his ilk?

Wednesday
this story and its fall out rumbles on. The Independent reports "David Cameron compares Lord Ashcroft dead pig claims to a 'stab in the back' as war of words continues PM uses joke to take a swipe at Lord Ashcroft's new book, likening claims made in Call Me Dave to going to the doctor with 'a little prick' in the back." That sadly says it all about our Prime Minister.

"The war of words between David Cameron and Lord Ashcroft has continued, with the Prime Minister reportedly comparing the former Tory deputy chairman's claims of widespread drug-taking and obscene sexual behaviour in his youth to "a stab in the back."

But that does not like an 'innocent' man does it?

Either way the Daily Mail is making big money out of Call Me Dave.

I will never be able to look at the PM again, without having visions of a pig.

Will David Cameron say it is a 'conspiracy theory', like he has about 50 years of VIP paedophile cover ups?

Thanks for dropping bu Clare

I know exactly what you mean. The book is written by two Tory veterans of sorts so???

It is the sort of behaviour that goes for normal at Toffs' clubs.

I don't see how he can continue to ignore it-he must surely make a statement or something.

Like Carry On Politics aint it lol

Whatever next comes out of those Toff lot?

What shame the pig could not react.

If it true and someone like that and the rest of Bullingdon Club and Piers Gaveston Club is in top job and rules and ruins ordinary people's lives

How the other half or is that 1% live Hannah?

Cameron is talking about it but not denying. The BBC have opted not to cover the story-independent of government or running scared of the axe?

How old was the pig? Was it a sow or just a bore(intended)?

Haha Barbara

Poor little piggy-I thought twice about posting this story as the source is anonymous-but it is splashed everywhere. The Tories had no qualms about taking the pee out of Labour's Ed Miliband and now Corbyn so they are fair game I guess.

That said Mr Corbyn has been very gentlemanly like about it.
