THE BRITISH THREAD II

Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson, wow. Look out, world, Britain is going to be great again.

Bumps are welcome when they help advance the sum total of mankind's knowledge. I think George, being American (if also a bit Irish), missed the irony in my remark or maybe it was me who missed the irony in his question.

Every time Jeremy Corbyn is mentioned in a news report on the BBC he is referred to as 'the left wing Labour Party leader'. In the interest of fairness and un-biased reporting, David Cameron should also be referred to in terms of his place on the political spectrum - 'the right-wing Prime Minister '

David Cameron allegedly put a “private part” of his body into a dead pig while at Oxford University, according to a book released this week.

A new biography of the prime minister, written by former Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft and ex-Sunday Times political editor Isabel Oakeshott, is being serialised in the Daily Mail. The book – entitled “Call Me Dave” – claims that Cameron carried out the act on a dead pig while at a meeting of the university’s elite Piers Gaveston drinking society.

One passage describes the “extraordinary suggestion” that the “future PM inserted a private part of his anatomy into the animal’s mouth” while at one such party.

According to the book, one individual claims a pig was “resting on the lap of a Piers Gaveston society member while Cameron performed the act”.

Ashcroft and Oakeshott say their source for the story is a current MP who was at university with Cameron. They say the politician has repeatedly made the accusation about the prime minister at a number of events in the last year.

The authors say this MP believes that photographic evidence of the incident exists and is held by a named individual. However, the person who is alleged to hold a photo of the supposed act did not respond to requests for comment from the authors.

Can't say I'm surprised.

I'm not surprised to find you find such behaviour acceptable, it doesn't make you fun though, just confirms what we've known all along.

A local Conservative party group will go ahead with a planned “pig race” fundraising event despite allegations about David Cameron’s experiences with the animals while he was at university.

Dewsbury, Mirfield, Denby Dale and Kirkburton Conservative Association in West Yorkshire had appeared to cancel the event after the Daily Mail newspaper printed allegations that David Cameron inserted his private parts into a dead pig's head at university.
