The United Kingdom gets all the good controversies. A shocking new unauthorized biography claims that Prime Minister David Cameron, who looks like the British Roger Goodell, put his “anatomy” into a dead pig’s mouth while at Oxford University. #Piggate > #Birthergate.
Lord Ashcroft, the former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (which Cameron is the leader of), went all-out in Call Me Dave, which also details how “Cameron knew in 2009 that Ashcroft had non-dom status, meaning the donor legally did not pay UK tax on overseas earnings.” But that has nothing to do with pigs, dead or otherwise, so let’s go back to that.
Here’s an excerpt from the book, via the Daily Mail:
[Cameron] also got involved in the notorious Oxford dining society, the Piers Gaveston, named after the lover of Edward II, which specialises in bizarre rituals and sexual excess. A distinguished Oxford contemporary claims Cameron once took part in an outrageous initiation ceremony at a Piers Gaveston event, involving a dead pig. His extraordinary suggestion is that the future PM inserted a private part of his anatomy into the animal’s mouth. (Via)
Ashcroft, who’s been feuding with Cameron since he was passed over for a new position (piggy-style?), claims a photo of the act exists, and that “the pig’s head… had been resting on the lap of a Piers Gaveston society member while Cameron performed the act.” Downing Street has so far refused to comment on the allegations, unlike Twitter, which has been having a field day.
Lily was devastated.

You're not even allowed put your member into the mouth of a dead pig now? It's political correctness gone mad.

"What's wrong, Piglet," asked Pooh, concerned.
"I got an invitation to Downing Street," he said. #piggate #snoutrage pic.twitter.com/5EMAJuncYL— Robbie Crossan (@robbie_crossan) September 21, 2015

Just to clear it up: nope, I’d never heard anything about Cameron and a pig when coming up with that story. So this weirds me out.

I anxiously await to see which farm animal Donald Trump allegedly had relations with.
