Piggy in middle will haunt Cameron

Having made such a pig’s ear of being British prime minister it is rather strange for critics to say David Cameron is now unfit for the job because of an (alleged) youthful dalliance with a dead pig.

As startlingly bizarre as the revelation in a hostile biography of what Mr Cameron got up to at Oxford is, you cannot base your assessment of politicians on what they did at university decades earlier.

Former Tory treasurer Lord Ashcroft is still smarting so much from being snubbed by Cameron for the top government job he believed he deserved in 2010 that the incredible wealthy peer has co-penned a book which has drawn global attention for claiming that in order to join snooty Oxford club Piers Gaveston, Mr Cameron inserted a “private part of his body” into a severed pig’s head which was resting on the lap of a friend at the time.
