TBH I don't see what's so funny about it. It's seems like a ridiculous accusation, nobody have provided a shred of evidence for it and the book writer and her backer are rather dubious, but there's a bunch of people on the Internet erupting in orgiastic glee about it and there's a bunch of articles in lots of major news websites. It's just making a lot of people looks like prats IMO, especially if they were going on about the evils of the media in regards to Jeremy Corbyn just a little while ago.

The media are Not going on about it- imagine if Ed Miliband had faced the same accusation, regardless of how true it is.
The Endless re-prints of sandwich-face (take 30 frames a sec of Anyone eating and you'll be able to make them look like poo poo) for example.

It's also because it's entirely believable that David Camerion Did gently caress a dead pigs head, as we know he Did burn a £50 note in front of a homeless person and the other poo poo they got up to.

If you couldn't tell it's true by looking at him, the fact the immediate torysphere responses all started with "what's the big deal about loving a dead pig" tells you everything you need to know. The fact that no one has produced the picture is a footnote.

Damien McBride (bastard that he is) made a really good point the other day about the pig story's prominence being a really easy out for Cameron's PR team - they can issue a categorical denial and use it to cast doubt on Ashcroft's other allegations.

Thus far, for whatever reason, they've declined to do so.

Oh, I tell a lie, the recession after WW1 was worse (but it did start with 3 years where the annual growth rate was -9.9%, -7.8% and -10.1% and did come after the deaths of 2% of the population in WW1)

I'd assume that is because they want to suggest that it's too stupid to even respond to, and unless there's some evidence then it really is. They aren't going to fall into the trap of letting the newspapers print the headline "PM denies loving a pig".

It's a comparison to similar types of media claims made about Ed in the past.

Finished first year of maths degree with the OU thinking I was awfully clever with a 96% average. Started a second year module and realised that actually that firt year was just a very shallow paddling pool in the massive ocean of what the gently caress maths is.

You might have a point, except Dave has claimed that he denied the allegations, by referring to the "not going to dignify that with a response" answer which they teach you on day one of PR school. So he wants to create the impression of having denied it, without actually denying it. I'm not sure why that could be though.

Congratulations Gonzo!

Okay then. Unless Corbyn explicitly responds to the claim that he rides a Maoist bicycle by categorically denying it then it's notable that he hasn't done so.

He showed it up for buffoonery in a gently mocking way. I don't think you are very good at comparisons, alleging I use a form of transport popular with Chinese communists has none of the associations, damage, or implications to judgement and morals the sticking of my dick into a dead pig's mouth does.

He's also accused of a whole host of other things. And it's not like some random dude is making the accusations; it's an esteemed lord who has historically been an enormous asset for the tories.

I'm pretty sure he deserves, at the very least, a direct response. To refuse someone of that importance is to silently admit that Ashcroft could easily prove his claims in a libel suit.

If Diane Abbot were to say "Jeremy Corbyn is a sex fiend who preys on children", and Corbyn doesn't refute these claims, for what reason should we refute them on his behalf?
