A caller on The Wright Stuff got quite the reaction when he brought up #piggate this morning (September 21).
Matthew Wright was hosting a phone-in when a caller named Dan decided to mention the extraordinary allegation that David Cameron put a "private part" in a dead pig's mouth when he was a student at Oxford University.

During a discussion about Jeremy Corbyn on the show, Dan was asked by Wright whether he thought Labour members would potentially leave the party to join the Liberal Democrats.
Dan answered: "Well I think you've also got this issue of the Prime Minister putting his cock in a dead pig's mouth."
However, Wright immediately got irate with the caller.
"Ok, Dan,...

Charlie Brooker couldn't help but get involved in the Twitter chat after remarkable allegations that David Cameron once "put his private parts in a dead pig's mouth" emerged last night.
You may remember that Brooker's Channel 4 anthology drama Black Mirror featured an episode titled 'The National Anthem', in which the Prime Minister (Rory Kinnear) had sex with a pig on live TV in order to free a princess from a supposed terrorist.
While there was apparently no princess involved in this alleged real world story from former Tory treasurer Lord Ashcroft, it's hard to avoid the obvious similarities.
Shit. Turns out Black Mirror is a documentary series.

"Shit. Turns out Black Mirror is a documentary series," Brooker tweeted, before adding: "Bet this means he really is a lizard too. I hope Jeremy Corbyn is going to read out questions from members of the public again this Wednesday.

(Warning: If you've never seen Black Mirror, spoilers follow.) After reports pointed out that a new David Cameron biography published this week includes a story about the British prime minister allegedly putting a "private part of his anatomy" into a dead pig's mouth, the internet began to uneasily recall Black Mirror's first episode. In Call Me Dave, the bio written by Lord Ashcroft and Isabel Oakeshott, there are unverifiable claims that Cameron was coerced into performing the stunt as an Oxford student fulfilling a hazing ritual. In Black Mirror, which premiered in 2011, a fictional Pm is also coerced into porcine sex acts — but to assist with the ransom in a royal kidnapping. The coincidental similarity in animal of choice seems to be an unfortunate example of life imitating art (most notably, this fact was not lost on Black Mirror's creator, Charlie Brooker): And yes, of course, there...

After 25 years, Jeremy Paxman is quitting BBC Two's Newsnight.
No longer will we see politicians quaking in their boots, producers being slammed live on TV and awkward chats with rappers.
To mark the end of an era from quite possibly Britain's greatest news broadcaster of the last two decades, Digital Spy has rounded up just some of the classic moments of Paxo on Newsnight.
1. Paxman/Rascal
Possibly the sign of things to come in terms of Newsnight incorporating surprising guests and skits (see Cookie Monster and 'Thriller'). Paxman took part in a rather bizarre interview with Dizzee Rascal following Barack Obama's presidential victory in 2008. When asking Dizzee he believed in political parties in Britain, the rapper replied: "Yeah, they exist, I believe in them. But I don't know if I care," adding: "If you believe, you can achieve, innit." The awkward silences after Dizzee's points are also classic.

Cameron's nightmare is that Ukip now owns the potent cocktail of EU-related issues and could split the Eurosceptic right in 2015
Ukip's surge to 28% in Eastleigh, its best ever result in a byelection, leaves the Conservatives scrambling to assess the root causes of Ukip's popularity and whether its cheerful amateur leader Nigel Farage truly has the potential to deprive the oldest political machine in British politics of as many as 40 seats in a general election.
Cameron's nightmare is that Ukip now owns the potent cocktail of EU-related issues, including migration and wage squeeze, and so can split the Eurosceptic right in 2015 – just as the Sdp crippled Labour in the mid-80s. For the first time in a century the Conservative party has lost monopoly control of the right.
Farage is already promising to stand 2,000 candidates in the May county council elections and it is very plausible they will come first in...
