Is this really behaviour becoming of a future Prime Minister?

    Perhaps he's telling pokies?

    Did we just mishear him? Was David Cameron actually touting the idea of a 'Pig Society' all along?

    In all seriousness, and as ridiculous as this sounds, he's got to resign hasn't he? How is he ever going to be taken seriously again?

    He will always be known as the bloke who put his chap in a dead pig, humiliated beyond belief.

    He has to go but probably wont. I bet Boris is laughing on the inside desperately hoping to jump into the position ( god help us)

    I fear for Lord Ashcroft though. i wouldn't be surprised if in a couple of years time he's found dead - David Kelly style.
  • Why would he resign because of an unsubstantiated claim made by a man clearly out to humiliate Cameron in any way he can? Unless Ashcroft pops up with this picture the whole thing will die down

    Agree

    No, but that hasn't stopped our media for a long old while. Milliband with the bacon sarnie, Queen giving nazi salute, etc etc etc

    The only surprise, for me, is that it is in that well known Tory hating, typical lefty rag the Daily Mail.

    Politically this is the most important thing to happen to my generation.

    And by important I mean jokes.

    Mail's stance is rather nuanced on this, though, isn't it. Don't think they are backing Ashcroft.

    And I must say I was pleasantly surprised how the last Olympic Stadium report showed they are after both Boris and Brady.

    Ashcroft is a nasty bit of work who should pay his taxes before he exercises any 'right" to interfere in our democracy.

    I doubt it was Boris laughing, as he was in most of the societies that Dave was.

    Whereas George Osbourne...
  • Ex-Conservative Party treasurer Lord Ashcroft says his new book about David Cameron is "not about settling scores".
    The unauthorised biography, serialised in the Daily Mail, includes allegations about the PM's student days.
    The former Tory donor admitted to having personal "beef" with the prime minister after not being offered a major job in the coalition government.
    Another animal!

    To the Daily Mail and Lord Ashcroft, Cameron is a lefty...

    If it's not true then they're giving it huge legs by refusing to comment at all.

    If Cameron thinks this is all a pack of lies, he should have Ashcroft arrested. All it would take is one quick call to the pigs.

    Wait, what..?

    Well, yes, but….



  • This explains why Cameron accidentally said his favourite team was West Ham.

    He was in the Bullingdon as well.

    I think this is a pretty weak story. Ashcroft says that a Tory MP (no names) claimed that he had seen a photo of the pork stuffing. If the story is to have any legs, the name of the MP will have to be divulged. At the moment, it just sounds like a smear base on Lyndon Johnson's famous accusation that an opponent had relations with a sow on his farm. Not because it was true but because he wanted to hear the bastard deny it.
