David Cameron says he 'will not dignify' claims he put his genitals in the mouth of a dead pig

David Cameron will not "dignify" allegations that he once "inserted a private part of his anatomy" into a dead pig's mouth with a response, Downing Street has said.

Extracts from the inflammatory book included claims that he smoked cannabis with friends, allowed cocaine in his London home and alleged that he misled the public over the non-dom status of Lord Ashcroft, a prolific Tory donor.

However the Prime Minister's spokeswoman said: “I’m not intending to dignify this book by offering any comment or any PM reaction to it."

She added that the author "has set out his reasons for writing it,” suggesting the Prime Minister views the book as an act of revenge for his refusal to offer Lord Ashcroft a top job when he entered Downing Street in 2010.

1. Apparently he feels that there's enough pork in politics already

And he doesn't want to hog the spotlight.

4. He doesn't want to ham it up for the media swine.

2. He should own it

The act he is denying might just be one of the most dignified acts he's ever performed.

10. He's not denying it--he's just not "dignifying" the accusations.

He's basically saying "Hey, when we were young, we were fuckups, and this guy writing this book is a kiss-and-tell type, an unreliable rat fink, who tried to shake me down for a job and didn't get it so now he's telling tales." But he's saying that without admitting a doggone thing.

It's the smart strategy, certainly. There's no crime in sticking your wang in what is a rather gruesome dining centerpiece in accepting and enthused company--it's a bit weird, but apparently it's a popular rite of passage, or something. File under 'Wealthy boys will be boys' I guess.

I think doing more than pointing/laughing about this is probably not terribly productive. In a way it distracts from his POLICY stances, which are far more serious and far reaching than shenanigans with the head of a dead pig.

21. It sounds like there are pictures floating around.

I'm guessing clapper has a copy.

[MADem]

26. I read that "someone" has "a" picture of "someone" engaging in the

offending pose, and that Himself is present in the picture--leaving open the very real possibility that the picture is not of Cameron with his junk in the pig's mouth, but he's chuckling and grinning with chums at someone else doing the very same thing--or a similar thing.

It's not even entirely clear if the "junk" is actually out, either, or if the picture is of someone miming the behavior (supposedly some unnamed person is holding the pig's head in his lap)--it could be a photo of someone holding the pig's head near the region of a crotch, in a "dick in a box/can't really see anything" kind of fashion--it's all just too vague for any declarative statements.

Cameron is a lot of things--but one thing no one can call him is stupid. He understands electoral politics as well as the next person, and thanks to Question Time, he has to be quicker on his feet than most American politicians. I should think that if this picture existed, we'd have seen it by now, or it would have already been retrieved and destroyed by Cameron's minions.

I know, for many years, there were stories about a set of pictures featuring Dumbya Bush and another pilot, drinking it up in the officer's club in their pilot poopy suits, and dancing on the bar with their dongs hanging out (who knew he'd be more fashion forward than Lenny Kravitz?). The search for those images was like the search for the Holy Grail. They never came to light though, did they? They disappeared into the same black hole that a big, huge TORN chunk of Dumbya's service record did at the National Archives in St. Louis.

I'd be surprised if this guy didn't do his own oppo research ahead of standing for PM and swept up all the traces a long time ago. It's what smart people do--and like I said, he's a lot of things, but stupid, he ain't.

I think this VOX piece is a fair dissection of the drama--the more speculation, the merrier, and the analysis is interesting as well: http://www.vox.com/2015/9/21/9365507/piggate-david-cameron-piers-galverston

7. Spare me this silly gossip nonsense

I'm more interested in what Cameron is doing now in government then some ridiculous drunken mistake in college. Everybody does something stupid in college.

regardless of "dignity".

So, I'll take that as a "Yes".

25. Responding to the media about such things would be like casting pearls before swine.

An utter waste of the jewels: You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

27. Soooooo..... he did it.

Since the proper answer had he not done it would have been along the lines of 'Good Gods, no, what kind of sick idiot do you take me for?'

[jmowreader]

28. In other words...

"Yeah, I fucked a pig in college. Don't tell me YOU never tried rushing a frat..."

[rocktivity]

30. And so what if he did? He was a zany college kid!
