#piggate: Twitter hams it up at David Cameron’s expense over book claims
A spokeswoman for the prime minister said she did “not see the need to dignify the book by offering any comment”, but a Conservative Party source said Mr. Cameron did not recognise any of the allegations.
However others have pointed out that while the fictional PM had to have sex with a pig as an absolute last resort after much soul-searching, Cameron allegedly did his stunt just for laughs.
TWITTER has gone into meltdown with every conceivable pig pun in reaction to weird allegations UK Prime Minister David Cameron “put a private part of his anatomy” into a dead pig.
“His extraordinary suggestion is that the future PM inserted a private part of his anatomy into the animal’s mouth”, an excerpt published by the Daily Mail claimed.
Meanwhile, George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was asked about it while on a trade mission to China. According to some the event happened during the initiation for a debauched and secretive society at the University of Oxford.
Lord Ashcroft also alleged Mr Cameron was aware he had not given up his controversial “non dom” tax status when he joined the House of Lords earlier than was previously admitted.
Downing Street portrayed the book as political revenge. The show’s creator, Charlie Brooker, says he had no knowledge of any rumors involving Cameron and pigs when he wrote the episode.
The book also claimed that Cameron had smoked cannabis with a group of university friends who nicknamed themselves the “Flam Club” and later allowed cocaine at his London house.
Reporters were today on a hunt for the source of the new claims, thought to be a Conservative MP who attended Oxford at the same time as David Cameron.
Writing in the newspaper, Ashcroft said he was disappointed that Cameron only offered him a “declinable” junior post after he formed a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats in 2010.
The MP said he was not witness to the incident and is open to the possibility that it is a case of mistaken identity.
