Today has been a sad and weird day for politics in Britain, when the highest job in the land is reduced to a parody of televised and scripted satire we may have a real problem. Even more than usual our media and politcal class have become a laughing stock recently with the Labour party's internal attacks on and the newspapers biase against Jeremy Corbin and now with today's David Cameron story. Real, actual world changing events are going on in Europe and the Middle East and we're knee deep in this crap.
I still find it hard to believe a former member of the House Of Lords has accused the Prime Minister of putting his penis into a severed pig's head. Really....
This story is either true and therefore will be morally repugnant to the electorate - although, why I dont know, I dont care if Cameron could shit out statues of Madonna in his childhood, if his policies are bad for the country that's what really counts (obviously there are caveats to that) - and Cameron and possibly a lot of front bench Conservatives are going to vanish pretty soon for their past 'kinky, rich people indiscretions' and a snap election is on the cards. That's the only option if it's true - no fucking about here, if Cameron resigns over this and he is an actual reprobate in good standing then Osborne and Johnson will no doubt also be implicated by their association with the Bullingdon Club -rightly or wrongly - and who then leads the Conservatives - Theresa May, William Hague, I.D.S? :) See you at the voting booth!
Or it's entirely false and Hunter S. Thompson's first rule of politics is in full force;
"Call your opponent a pig fucker, make him deny it. Even if it's not true he'll always be know as the 'Pig fucker'"
But why?!?
What does Michael Ashcroft gain other than five minutes of reprieve and a brief chortle till his story falls apart under heavy scrutiny and his flimsy reputation lies in tatters? WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS PICTURES THAT ARE NEVER ACTUALLY PRODUCED? Why throw this much shit at someone who had previously lied about your nom-dom status for you. Why torpedo that ship with slanderous accusations? If you wanted a job in Government, you've fucked it up mate.
Cameron was clearly lying when he say's he didnt know about Ashcroft's tax status or he's a fool who's judgment cannot be trusted. That, makes him a shit Prime Minister not a pig's heads.
The head/head is not an actual issue any more than Corbyn not signing the National Anthem. It's been a lovely distraction that I've kinda enjoyed with hypocritical relish but let's be honest if all world peace and mankinds ascendency to greatness took was a couple of shots in a pig's mouth, who would take issue with that?
"Well, Mr Prime minister you have been working hard on the health service and education and nuclear disarmament and middle eastern relations all day. So here's a pig's head. I'll be outside"
It would be totally worth it!
But alas, this is David Cameron and now we are the country with a Prime Minister who has question marks over his beastiality past. That's a strong gimmick, if you can make it work. Cameron wont.
What is truly staggering in all of this however is we are entertaining the idea it is possibly true and are still only laughing about it.
