It's telling that this big important China visit right now is being led by Osborne, as opposed to the Foreign Secretary, whose counterpart in most other countries would the one to go.

Just last week he Osborne was touring a naval base pledging to fund Trident... again, in most places that'd be the job of the Defence Minister.

There's something deeply unpleasant about this all.

Can someone explain me what's going on? I'd do a research but I'm too creeped out right now, and in terror of what I may find.

He didn't actually f**k a pig, right?...

As part of a student prank/initiation ritual he put his penis in the mouth of a dead pig, which somebody else was holding.

It seems like he basically put his dick in a dead pig's mouth.

Someone who won't be named heard from someone else they had a picture no one else has seen. So Cameron probably did nothing but what a great way to discredit all the other allegations against him (that have some substance) by letting people think he 'f-cked a pig' for a few days.

Well it's unlikely he ever actually was a member of the club which would have done this in the first place, so...

I'm assuming that Ashcroft is trolling, the sources seem dubious at best. Though as Downing street doesn't seem to have denied it yet, the jury is still out.

I am not sure the facts really are all that relevant in this case. Often these things takes on a life of their own, voters will never be able to look at Cameron again without thinking: Did he actually do it?

There is an old story about a Danish cabaret star in the 20s whose rival spread a rumor she had had sex with a Saint Bernard. Completely unfounded, of course. Nevertheless the audience started balking at her whenever she went on stage and she eventually had to quit. Later emigrated to Argentina (which would be an ironic place for Cameron to end). Not saying Cameron will meet the same faith, but there is something about accusations of animal sex (and the like) that just tends to stick. It really appeals to human imagination and the coarsest instincts of the public.

Catherine the Great of Russia and the story of her making love to a horse would be another example. Though all historians seems agree  it was a completely made up rumor, it's still the most known "fact" about her to this day.

Not political but another example is Richard Gere.

Any religious socially conservative MP's who might have trouble with this lol? (English Huckabees/Santorums basically)? Cameron probably didn't do it and if he even did it it isn't that much of a problem imo (most people will discard it as nonsense and I doubt independents and everyone to the right of them will ever vote for Corbyn) but it would be something if the cabinet fell because of religious people having trouble with this.

Redcar steelworks mothballed (again) - 1,700 jobs lost. Appalling news for the North East.

Furthermore, this reminds of an excerpt from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear & Loathing: On The Campaign Trail ’72 about LBJ when running a losing battle for Congress in 1948 against a wealthy pig farmer in Texas:

Eaton writes in the NS that Corbyn attended a Labour Friends of Israel party during the conference accompanied by Benn. It's pretty clear what Corbyn attempted when forming the cabinet, having moderate main frontbenchers as the moderating factor of his reign - thus his right tilt would not be credited to him personally by the hard left and he will be rehabilitated in the eyes of the Labour right.

He attended the Friends of Israel party and after his speech, Michael Foster (Labour candidate for Cambourne) shouted on the top of his lungs something along the lines of "You didn't mention Israel once!1!!!11".
