Twitter’s best reactions to outlandish allegations involving David Cameron and a pig
TWITTER has gone into meltdown with every conceivable pun in reaction to bizarre allegations the UK Prime Minister put his ‘private parts' into a pig.
TWITTER has gone into meltdown with every conceivable pig pun in reaction to bizarre allegations UK Prime Minister David Cameron “put a private part of his anatomy” into a dead pig.
Wait, what? Yes, a new book written by Lord Ashcroft, a former Conservative Party Treasurer and political journalist Isabel Oakeshott claims an unnamed source, now an MP, alleges Mr Cameron put a private part of his anatomy into a pig - and claims there are photographs to prove it.
The unauthorised biography, Call Me Dave, will be published next month and also contains allegations Mr Cameron took drugs and was a member of the Piers Gaveston Society - an exclusive Oxford drinking club renowned for debauched parties with free sex, music, drink and drugs, according to an extract published by the Daily Mail.
However it should be noted the book was written after Lord Ashcroft fell out with Mr Cameron after he claims he was snubbed for a “not insignificant” position. It was intended as an account of his character and how he got to the top, but was done without access to the Prime Minister, his relatives and aides.
“Cameron’s strategy appears to be: put up the shutters, then rubbish the book on the basis that we have had no access,” Lord Ashcroft wrote on his website.
The person who is said to have the pictures did not respond to the authors’ request for comment. Meanwhile founder of the Piers Gaveston Society, Valentine Guinness scoffed at the story as “malicious gossip”
“It is a ridiculous story,’ he told The Spectator. “As far as I know David Cameron was never a member of the Piers Gaveston Society, so there would have been no need for an initiation ceremony.”
However that didn’t stop Twitter users having a field day with an avalanche of Babe jokes, ham puns and the dredging up old photographs. Take a look at some of the best below:

One observer with a lot of time on their hands went the whole hog with this video.
Mr Cameron has previously said he had a “normal university experience”. A spokesman for Downing Street said the Prime Minister would not comment on any of the allegations.
