I honestly do not care if David Cameron stuck it in a pig, though it is a stark reminder the ruling class are very different to us. But what is disgusting is the attack on the vulnerable, poor and disadvantaged which he is leading now.
I lifted this picture from twitter – don’t know who originated, but brilliant!
“Sorry David, I can’t hear you very well… is there some crackling on your end?”
This is getting retweeted quite a bit.
“The comments on this thread are the perfect example of people who don’t like the PM, posh people or Tories lining up to jump up and down about an uncorroborated story because it aligns with their own views.”
I quite agree. It’s getting boaring. Unfortunately stories like being fellated by a dead pig’s head could run and run.
Spot on Sixer. And thank you for spelling it out for the attention deficit disorderly.(And that explains a lot)
I like Cameron, his table manners are a bit suspect but he is a clear thinker. He wants to help the Russians help Assad fight ISIL
Both the US and ISIL want to depose Assad they have the same aims. Clearly Cameron has thoght this through and decided something needs to be done, he has thought of something and concluded it needs to be done. So what if he becomes friendly with the main course occasionally.
Meanwhile back home people continue to commit suicide because their benefits are being withdrawn, just another example of Cameron looking after our money.
The comments on this thread are the perfect example of people who don’t like the PM, etc, etc
You’ve got the sequence the wrong way round, mate. First the media went for Corbyn in a big way, pulling no punches, and inventing stuff. The perfect example of people who don’t like socialism etc, etc. Then some long overdue comic relief from the Mail. We’re entitled to a laugh. ‘Sow-nly fair.
Good point Ba’al. (S)he has got it head about tail.
Here is an excellent essay on the why the #piggate scandal is resonating with people in Britain. It’s about elitism and the rituals that ensure those that get to the top have the right psychopathic tendencies:

Not Ukraine but Syria. By now most people reading comments on this blog are convinced that the US has been arming and training ISIS, Daesh, ISIL, IS warriors for years, especially since Obama has admitted it.

“By whitewashing the West’s clandestine involvement in Syria, the media not only portrays Russia as the sole contributor to hostilities, it absolves Europe and the United States of their own guilt in helping create a refugee crisis and fuel a civil war that has devastated so many for so long.”
How would the Muslim world see this?
Sixer, I like to deal in facts and for lateral thinking, read between the lines.
If Cameron had appointed Ashcroft to his cabinet just a few months ago, would be sitting here and talking about this rubbish? Its that simple, at least based on what we know. I won’t engage with convolutions.
Thank you for your well-considered thoughts and questions.
Off course there was a secret coup preparation against Wilson, whatever Habby wants to divert us from. Generals sat in a room and discussed the logistics in the finest detail.
sorry no link for this eyewitness account from a reliable person who was present at the meeting.

I think it is more subtle than that and Cameron demonstrates the demise of laissez faire well. Cameron has shown he can overturn a 800 year old tradition of serving a pigs head with an apple in its mouth and demonstrate the benefits.
On Syria he has decided it doesn’t matter which side you fight on in a war as long as you join in, this new type of thinking has eluded previous British leaders, Cameron is leading the way.
I do love to see Krishnamurti’s philosophy so movingly transmitted by Alcyone/ Villager, whose exhortations to the milder commentators here to know themselves are visibly inspired by his own meditative practice. It appears that he is endeavouring to obtain a reaction to what if he were facing me, he would not, I promise him, utter for long.
Returning to the substance of his comment, and ignoring the personal abuse, my speculation re. Ashcroft was, according to him, a ‘sly and vicious’ slant. How so, Alcyone? It reflects quite well on Ashcroft, and does no damage to Cameron, as only a few of his supporters read this, and even fewer take any notice. Was it any slyer or more vicious than the wall-to-wall coverage of Corbyn’s politics, appearance, reluctance to sing, etc, last week?
I think I must have hit a nerve.
PS, for gamers:

God went to the Jews and said, ‘I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.’
The Jews asked, ‘What are Commandments?’
And the Lord said, ‘They are rules for living.’
‘Can you give us an example?’
‘Thou shall not kill.’
‘Not kill? We’re not interested.’
So He went to the French and said, ‘I have Commandments.’
The French wanted an example, and the Lord said,
‘Thou shalt not covet your neighbours wife.’
‘We can’t have that’, the French said
Then He went to the Mexicans and said,
‘I have Commandments.’
The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said ‘Thou shall not steal.’
‘Not steal? We’re not interested.’
Finally, He went to the Arabs and said,
‘I have Commandments.’
‘Commandments?’ They said, ‘How much are they?’
‘They’re free.’
‘We’ll take 1 million.’
Funny, isn’t it?
Mick, well said.
But, don’t you think, if the shoe were on Corbyn’s foot that this story would have had the media rather more exercised?
Alcyone 11:00 am
Well, I’m like St Corbyn of Westminster. I don’t do personal. Ba’al seems nice to me, as do you.
Either seems plausible. Could be as simple as Ashcroft’s thwarted ambitions. Could be the shattering glass of the Overton Window. Could be a combination of them both.
Hells Angels have arrived here, what with all their tattoos and what-not!
Sixer, thank you and respect.
Could be that he will now recover some of his sunk millions.
Whatever, it is what it is!
so far as I know Ba’al has no vices either sly or vicious, except towards cyclists which get in the way of his toad-of-toad-hall-m’bile. For these however he keeps a sharpened set of retractable Boadicean wheel-hub-mincer-knives.
Useful also for cameron-pig-cross-baby-trolls weaving across the blog highway. Cameron is a celebrity and he and Lord Ashcroft know that his reputation will only be enhanced by a reputation for macho-daring-do especially when it breaks zionist and Muslim religious taboos.
Alcyone.
Had a feast last night, nae pork tho.
Thanks again.
In the great scheme of things it is irrelevant if Cameron has a propensity for performing penetrative acts with his penis on a porcine head,
,it may have been the other way round.
This is just a redux of the horse and the Ginger Minge
Ashcroft must be a massive visionary to have foreseen 18 months ago, when he joined his co-author that St Corbyn would be arriving near mid-September 2015 and then land his book release on the penny.
Not to mention the foresight similarly 18 months ago of the SNP’s then impending clean-sweep.
It may be a sign of the times butat least Major had the good grace to do it whilst his pig was still alive or maybe Cameron can’t do with the incessant squealing.

LOL Robert!
Stay Light and in Light, my friend.
Its all about energy–positive, positive and positive.
And, you’re always welcome!
Mick, hello – haven’t seen your handle hereabouts, so welcome if you’re new.
I’d say that whilst the allegations have generated much hilarity, people know they are unsubstantiated – not yet, anyway. We have even folks on this thread dismissing it as teenage japes.
I am partly in favour of mocking all politicians, in the style of Private Eye. However, I think there is a difference between the two sides. The right wing of politics is supportive of the status quo, aggressive free market capitalism. I note the greed and cruelty that goes along with it is often perversely admired as “difficult decisions”, and killing people abroad is the mark of “a statesmen”. The corporate media – from Right to faux-Left – reflect these values very well.
However if someone on the genuine Left appears – like Jeremy Corbyn – they are marginalised, mocked, derided and feared by the media. Even the Guardian, nominally of the Left, has been at it. If Corbyn misses an England rugby match, then the media will report Boris’s admonishment, but not that Corbyn was holding an MP’s surgery. That Corbyn goes to a rally after being elected Leader of the Opposition is not dedication, it’s ‘rude’. Not singing the National Anthem is a ‘snub’, and then changing his mind is ‘hypocrisy’. And so on, ad nauseum.
I would much rather Dave was forced to resign because of all the people who have committed suicide after having their benefits cut. I’d like to see mass rallies in favour of genuine NHS public ownership that forces the PM to reverse the damage of privatisation. But the press has only mildly dissented on these things, and ditto the war machine’s decision to “legalise” assassination abroad.
I’d therefore argue Dave hasn’t had nearly as much bad press as Corbyn, and if we’re in the business of making it “fair”, then Dave needs another helping. The pig thing will pass, and it is the least reason he should be resigning.
There’s a pork rap there somewhere, but this oldie is oddly prescient.

Thanks, Giyane. Accurately said, lol.
A reliable source told me that in Cameron’s Bullington days he was approached by Mi5 and asked what he thought about becoming Prime Minister one day, his response was unambiguous he said ” I would sooner fuck a pig”. Mi5 kept their end of the bargain and the rest as they say is history.
