“kiss and tells”–or rather –“donate and tell”–can leave all involved looking rather shabby or the original target even rejuvenated after a suitable time, interesting the number of commenters prior to this that commented on Cameron’s chubby, ruddy appearance as “porcine” though
and what about the poor pig, meat is still murder as Morrisey has reminded http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/morrissey-slams-david-cameron-over-piggate-allegations-70851

Two useful links in this context:

Cameron is alleged to be a former member of the Piers Gaveston Society. This 28-year-old drinking society is composed of twelve former public schoolboys at Oxford University. Its main interaction with the wider student body is its exclusive yearly ball, which allows revellers in fancy dress or fetish attire to climb aboard a coach to a secret location outside the city and engage in louche behaviour, said to often include indulgence in illegal substances. Named in honour of a male lover of King Edward II (1284-1327), the club seems highly camp—its motto is Fane non memini ne audisse unum alterum ita dilixisse, or “Truly, none remember hearing of a man enjoying another so much.’
Other former members of the group include writer and son of the Duchess of Cornwall Tom Parker Bowles and Private Eye editor Ian Hislop, who profits considerably from publishing tales of excess and scandal among the rich and mindless. There is no suggestion that either man or any other former member participated in any of the acts of which Cameron is accused. Gaystarnews wryly added that two European Union jurisdictions prohibit marriage equality, yet zoophilia is perfectly legal within their borders- Roumania and Finland. According to New Statesman journalist Stephen Bush (21.09.2015), apparently Cameron’s deed is not zoophilia, because under British law, that would have involved penetration of a porcine anus or vagina. -

“…The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which because one had his private parts in the other’s mouth…”
...Orwell, that ends well, that's okay then...

"There are a number of things to bear in mind regarding the story about British Prime Minister David Cameron putting his thing in a pig."
Jeez, Russell,"thing"? Did William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Henry Miller et al die in vain. There are a gazillion perfectly good words for penis - including penis - in the English language, wang, dick, cock, willy, etc, etc, etc, but "thing" has to be one of the most feeble. Or have I somehow missed the Hard News special Be Considerate to Queen Victoria Week?

Oh, okay. I thought it sounded funny.

I guess the rugby is an obligation to Cameron, in any games with England playing.
I'd imagine the (posh) England supporters will observe a stony silence, but will the other side (Wales & Australia, I'm looking at you) be doing a bit of oinking? Or the traditional chant, to the tune of "Guantanamera":

To be compromised so early in life to one’s elite ‘peers’ is to ensure that you will maintain class discipline (above all else) throughout your life – and to have proved that that is exactly what you are committed to.
Thanks for posting that Sacha. That’s it. This is about peer pressure and the potential repercussions of not towing the party line. It’s about initiation practices at UK’s elite school and university system and basically the extent to which the members of the ruling class are leveraged by their own networks. There are a million David Camerons queued up to fill his shoes, the greater the masses fixation on the pig the stronger this elitist legacy becomes.

In Niugini Pidgin the word for pork is abus pik, i.e. pig meat, or sometimes just plain pik. Pork in Pidgin is a fork lift, which may explain this protective clothing.

No, they didn't die in vain, because they never pretended to hold others to any moral standard. Whereas David Cameron pontificates to his fellow Britons about 'Broken Britain', conveniently forgetting it needs to start from the top.

Did Douglas know???
Bubbling up from the dim recesses this morning was the memory of this....
http://www.hhgproject.org/entries/shareandenjoy.html
The motto stands - or rather stood - in three mile high illuminated letters near the Complaints Department spaceport on Eadrax - "Share and Enjoy". Unfortunately its weight was such that shortly after it was erected, the ground beneath the letters caved in and they dropped for nearly half their length through the underground offices of many talented young complaints executives - now deceased. The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read "Go stick your head in a pig", and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.
Now, all sing along....http://www.hhgproject.org/media/Share_and_Enjoy.mp3
