What a day it’s been.
After the news broke yesterday evening that Lord Ashcroft’s upcoming memoir contained allegations that British PM David Cameron put his penis in the mouth of a dead pig, or ‘hog-knobbing’, some of us haven’t been able to sleep for the amount of glorious jokes on Twitter.
We’ve played the curator and put together what we believe are the definitive twenty funniest tweets in response to these scurrilously curly-tailed accusations.
WARNING: some of these are very NSFW.
Say it with The Simpsons
It's just had Cameron's dick in it, it's still good, it's still good. #piggate pic.twitter.com/7Va8U2oaXh

Americans just don’t get it
American Twitter going on about what dresses people are wearing at the Emmys as if Cameron hasn't fucked a pig.
