Aristides Hatzis @AristidesHatzis

Despite the abstinence rate Golden Dawn lost less than 9k voters! It was the only party with no losses in absolute numbers. This is so sad!

What a tortured way of letting the world know the far right-wing Greek party, Golden Dawn, came third, received only 7% of the total vote and has gone nowhere.

Bozo needs to watch out when Cam's around. He looks like one of those huge pigs in Wodehouse.

& maybe we need to ask, just why was Cameron so keen to point at fish ?
'Oooh look Sam, I really fancy that one with the stripes, how about a threesome later ?'.


Sorry, I just feel a little hysterical about it. Will calm down later.

The doctors and nurses I used to work with entertained us with lots of stories of how patients at A&E claimed things 'accidentally' ended up in their orifices.
Would say, I am not sure I'd leave a biro around in the same room as some men based on some of what was said. (and they didn't accidentally sit on it...another rather small orifice entirely).

In 1972, Hunter S. Thompson set about covering the presidential campaign, paying special attention to the Democratic Party’s George McGoven as he failed to get into office.

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 was serially published by Rolling Stone throughout the year. In one of the articles Thompson makes a poignant comparison to a campaign that happened in Texas in which Lyndon Johnson attempted to create a rumour to denounce his competitor.

It reads: “This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.

“The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.

“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-f****r,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofab****h deny it.”

With the recent accusations put against David Cameron, could any supporter of Corbyn have created this rumour to take negative media attention off him?
What - like those well known Corbynistas Lord Ashcroft & Paul Dacre? :toss:
I'm confused, is that last line from the Independent? How organised do they think Corbyn fans are? Anticipating Corbyn will be leader and putting about a rumour that gets in an Ashcroft book that they somehow knew he was going to publish about this time? Now, if the Indy was suggesting this was a rumour cooked up by some Tories wanting to elbow Dave out the way having used his bland, bloated bonhomie to win the election, they may have a point.....

Good morfternoon.

I'm waiting for a categorical denial of all, or any, of this. If it's not forthcoming (which I think it won't be) then he (DC) should be in deep trouble. Revenge or not - why would Michael Ashcroft make any of it up? He'd have nothing to gain and much to lose. I'm also hearing that he (MA) also opines that DC is only interested in the trappings of office and not the job itself (I paraphrase).

I think the scary thing about all this is that it's pretty possible that it won't harm Cameron that much - because he's already in power and can use channels to mute the effect (rather than say the leader of the opposition who is trying to gain power and doesn't have the same clout) - and also, very scarily, because much of the public has already factored in what a jumped up, privileged and insincere tosser he is - so this just confirms their view rather than introduces a new image of him. That's also different from, say, stories about a new leader of the opposition which are designed to establish a picture of him early on that can be embedded through successive releases and reminders.

It shouldn't be so - but I fear it is.

You may be right. But, although I'm more interested in the tax angle on this story, I think that the "revolting" element of the allegations might do more damage than we might hope. It's one thing to be seen as having a past as a "drunken, high-spirited young lad" with an slight hint of "Brideshead Revisited" thrown in but I can't see this latest revelation of his antics being indulged in the same way.

He won't go UD (wish he would, but he won't). He's already got away with so much that I / we would have thought the public wouldn't stand for - things like doing a massive reorganisation of the NHS after a specific pledge that he wouldn't. He doesn't give a stuff. He has the brazen cheek to think he can get away with just about anything. He'll just hide behind other people speaking for No 10 for some time now. They'll be digging some dirt on Ashcroft - or getting media pals to do so.

And he's very lucky there is no PMQs this week. That would have been the real test for him. Very lucky indeed.

I'm not sure that any law has actually been broken, JA. No matter how depraved we consider his deeds, bestiality would only apply to live creatures, wouldn't it? Of course I'm no expert on such matters I hasten to add.

:lol: He didn't really say that, did he? Sorry - but what size is 'liberal-sized'? Is it big enough for Clegg to fall through?

Will Lord Ashcroft's scandalous biography harm David Cameron?
And five other questions raised by Lord Ashcroft's sensational account of the life and times of David Cameron.

Isn't that illegal?

No. Bestiality involves penetration of the "vagina or anus" of a living animal. Necrophilia involves having sexual intercourse with a dead person. The mouth of a dead pig is a legal no man's land. That said, a Labour backbencher could attempt to change the law with a private members' bill.

The best thing about #piggates is, even if it turns out to be a hoax, we've learned conservatives will literally defend fucking a dead pig.

I heard a bit of his conference speech when he seemed to be, mangled up with his thanks to the party faithful, thanking everyone who didn't vote LibDem (including the "woman he met" who had tears in her eyes at the wipeout of the LibDems but who, nevertheless, had voted Green).

I do hear you, rr2, but how can he ever show his face in public again and expect to be taken seriously unless he comes out fighting to clear his name and reestablish credibility. Even the fat pinniped I have likened him to has not thick enough skin to easily wash these stains away.

Btw as I stated this morning, it's his kids that I feel sorry for.

How direct.
I think I prefer the German reporting of the story:
Laut Call Me Dave, einer neuen, selbstredend nicht authorisierten Biografie des Politikers, soll er seinen Penis in den Kopf eines toten Schweins gesteckt haben.

Yes - he could be torpedoed by the "yuck" factor.

Funny. All the Tweets today about where Dave hides his weeney - Mr Ohso's expression - yet I don't get the impression people are shocked because it's our PM. It's more like; he's a Hooray Henry with few if any morals, and it doesn't surprise us.

Hashtag #piggate after being top of the trending chart all day has suddenly disappeared into the ether. One minute it was there, then - whoosh & it was gone. Funny that.
