Psychoactive Substances: Rolling UK Politics in The Neo-Con Era

http://thequietus.com/articles/18808-anti-tory-satirical-band-cover-pig-gate

Oh God, the world of below-the-line commentators and their "a pig? better than than Diane Abbott lolz amirite?" bantz.

Also the insinuation from a whole load of people that we're all just lucky we haven't been caught shagging dead pigs because who hasn't, right?

still keeping the Ironic Review flame burning after all these years

in a just world, winning the backing of toby young would cause cameron to resign immediately in shame

Meanwhile, in the world of the Daily Telegraph, David Cameron fucking a pig is a just another opportunity to attack Jeremy Corbyn.

A screenshot shows Jeremy Corbyn's twitter account favourited the offensive tweet

uhh, no, that's not what that screenshot shows at all

Life's too short and already awful to click all these Spectator and Telegraph links.

You guys, you guys:

Life's too short and already awful to click all these Spectator and Telegraph links.

It's certainly not wise to linger too long in Telegraphland, you end up stumbling across quotes like this one, from Angela Epstein today:

"... ever since Jeremy Corbyn was declared leader of Her Majesty's Opposition, one issue has been dominating otherwise congenial discussion: do Jews in Britain have a future in this country? "

Uhhhhh,

".. for Jews like me, there's a sense of something sinister in the air. I'd even go so far as to say that the atmosphere could be likened to how the Jews of Germany felt in the early 1930s."

i notice that erroneous telegraph twitter piece doesn't have comments

I think it does show that it was on his favourites list for a bit, probably not intentionally? I've been accidentally favouriting random shit I try to scroll past in the Twitter app a lot lately

Point stands that trying to claim this is embarrassing for Corbyn is...a stretch, though

Didn't catch it myself, but just seen on Twitter than Channel 4 news did this: "Channel 4 News just played Supertramp over shots of a fluffy pink pig toy. “Take a look at my girlfriend…”"

Yes, they most certainly did XD XD

is this true

Don't know for sure, much as we don't know for sure whether the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland had relations with a dead pig, but it's salutary that so many people believe it.

... salient not salutary, duh.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bullingdon-club-initiation-ceremony-claim-1725912

Exactly, claimed.

fwiw i doubt the £50 note thing is true, but the paying cash on the spot for damaging restaurants is definitely true. i've seen that happen.

i've never seen anyone fuck a pig

Why do you doubt the £50 note thing is true?

I have a lot of work to do tonight, and this PM-fucks-dead-pigs story is wrecking my concentration.

More from the Mail tomorrow: https://twitter.com/TheMediaTweets/status/646071782877884416

Obviously the fact that this stuff is coming from the right indicates that they want a change of leadership, but if it hits hard enough to oust Cameron (which I'm still not sure it will, there have been previous revelations about his university behaviour and they haven't hurt him at all), then surely the other Bullingdon members would also be damaged and thus not fit for takeover?

That's VERY wishful thinking em. Osbourne, Johnson and May are, unbelivably, much, MUCH worse than Cameron and I can't see anyone else being in line.

which I'm still not sure it will, there have been previous revelations about his university behaviour and they haven't hurt him at all

Cocaine, infidelity, prostitutes...people named on this thread seem to have comfortably survived these revelations/allegations. But, you know....fucking a dead pig?

Like e.m, I'm totally boggling at The Mail piling this on though.

not only the mail either...

Why do you doubt the £50 note thing is true?

can only speak for the awful people i met when i was there (which was more recently than cameron), but they were awful in ways different to this

the piers gaveston pig thing is somehow more believable to me than the burning 50s

The pig thing is impossible to make up, really. Or at least extremely unlikely to be a fabrication.

I was immediately reminded of the LBJ story where accusing someone of pigfuckery was done to get the person to deny it.

Where has David Cameron been all day?

Pretty good q. Must be the first day since May that he's not been seen.

pig thing totally plausible to me. saw things not a million miles from it in nominally much more sedate situations than piers gaveston

Listen I must apologise in advance for watching big brother's big mouth but what are ch5 doing advertising peppa pig programmes at midnight?

Research shows that David Cameron spent today in a reception for the Danish prime minister.

Perhaps they discussed pork futures. Cochon à san goût, right?

It's pretty funny. Lars seems very happy, but this is not the day you want to spend with David Cameron.

Jeremy Corbyn was tonight dragged into the scandal over David Cameron's alleged violation of a dead pig after appearing to compare it to his relationship with Diane Abbott.
The Labour leader 'favourited' a message sent to him on Twitter which read: 'Which is worse? F****** a pig or f****** Diane Abbott?'

five months ago I don't think I could have imagined this being the opening paragraph of a story in the daily mail, especially that Corbyn being the leader of the Labour party would only the second most astonishing part

I've gone down the rabbit hole of 'Political RPF' tag now, who knew that there was David Cameron/Steve Hilton slash fiction out there?

Obviously the Ashcroft book has been in the pipeline since way before the election, but I wonder if the Mail is going harder on this because of Corbyn. Dacre's evidently decided it's time for Cameron to go, and no longer considers Labour an electoral threat, so they're free to go all out.

Osborne genuinely scares me.

Conspiracy theory? Possibly, but maybe not: http://the-orator.co.uk/2015/09/pig-gate/

Another election pledge reneged.

Yeah, fair point until the sanctimonious "you won't catch me laughing" jibes at the end. This has been going round on twitter about *why* people are laughing and *what* they are laughing at.

http://theleveller.org/2015/09/british-really-laughing/

Little that hasn't already been touched on, but to the point.

The free school meals story came out a couple of days before the pig thing and would be a ridiculous counterproductive piece of political maneuvering in any case.

Free school meals is the sort of thing that people get up in arms about, actual well-known non-politicians who people listen to, so I doubt it's going to be easily buried.

nice piece in the leveller, cheers

some sober reflection isn't amiss even under these circumstances

The "won't catch me laughing" line is a joke Branwell. Virtually every sentence of the preceding text contains an innuendo!

I get it now, "gag" as in gag-reflex, ho.
