PigGate: The best reactions to that story about David Cameron and a pig's head

Wait, he did what?!

You might have noticed that today's Daily Mail has caused a bit of a stir.

Last night, they shared their front page which features allegations contained in a new biography on Cameron by former Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft.

And one part in particular caught everyone's attention - a rather eye-watering account of an incident involving the Prime Minister, 'private parts' and a pigs head.

After presumably having been briefly lost for words, Twitter quickly found its voice again and the jokes, memes and general silliness have been going ever since.

It's basically all anyone can talk about.

Here are some of the best.

But no one was more bemused than Charlie Brooker, whose Channel 4 show Black Mirror contained an eeriely similar storyline.

Shit. Turns out Black Mirror is a documentary series.

Just to clear it up: nope, I’d never heard anything about Cameron and a pig when coming up with that story. So this weirds me out.

And here we were thinking it was going to be a boring Monday.
