And cassetteboy has got in on the act:
A policeman stops David Cameron in a car with a pig in the front seat. “What are you doing with that pig?” he exclaims. “You should take it to the zoo.”
The following week, the same policeman sees David Cameron with the pig again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over. “I thought you were going to take that pig to the zoo!” he says.
Cameron replies, “I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!”
Thank you.
Why isn’t everyone to horrified to joke?
The goat is!
There are plenty of pre-union workers’ organisations in the UK. They’re called Guilds or Livery Companies and they tended to represent the ancient trades. Crucially they stopped creating new Livery Companies just before the industrial revolution (between 1746 and 1926) so missed out on the new trades created by the industrial revolution.
Same here.
like you wouldn’t hit that
Way too high maintenance.
Because we all hate the Tories, especially that smug, shiny Botox-faced Eton schoolboy, and delight in the chance to take him down a peg or two?
Partly a matter of “free trade” policy limiting controls on trade and the economy, partly the geography of the new industries being based outside London? The City of London created quite a few for new professions in their sphere:

You could easily have made the title more truthful although less eye-catching. I calls 'em how I sees 'em. “Shagged a pig” implies a live animal and sexual gratification.
Dude, when you’re arguing over the niceties of the Prime Minister’s genitalia/pig interface event, you’re losing.
Citizens there are more concern in the economy than his personal life event.
I’m pretty sure these people, worthy as they may be, substituted long dinners with dreary congratulatory speeches and toasts — at first in old London Inns and lastly in Berni Inns — for covering each other in engine grease and tying the victim to streetlamps.
Working-class horseplay for apprenticeships was rather rougher than most 20th century Mayors would attend.
Still no pigs though.
Oh. OK.
But, “a peg or two”? This doesn’t destroy his career, marriage, entire life? I gather he did not actually have sexual intercourse with that pig, but …
Never mind. I don’t want to know. I’ll just be quietly happy that there is a place where a foolish mistake in one’s youth does not destroy one’s later career, and try to forget that such mistakes include “genitalia / pig interface events” (which line I happily steal, thank you).
I guess it’s better than a place where interface events involving two consenting adults of the same species and opposite genders can nearly bring down the presidency, isn’t it?
Were the any jokes about the pig being of age?
Perhaps Mitch Benn called it best last week…
I’ve reported that link as it’s to an executable. The link I gave in my earlier post lists lists all the Livery Companies of London, including the new ones.
Hard to tell. It was cheeky though.
I’m asserting that he did not, in fact, shag a pig as both the thread title and the OP untruthfully state. At this point I guess Jeremy Paxman would start asking “So did Cameron shag a pig or not?” until the accuser stopped blethering about “arguing over the niceties” and admitted what the facts actually are.
So did Cameron shag a pig or not?
My brother in law confirms that the ceremony for a newly-qualified plumber entailed having his hands tied behind his back and a rope tied around his dick and over the top of a door to be attached to the handle on the other side. But that’s just jolly trademan having a lark and not an ex-Etonian Tory whom we want to see squirm for not being a socialist, so it’s all gravy.
As was mentioned the link you gave was executable. Most posters try to avoid such links for good reason and it was reported several times. I removed the link.
