Morrissey’s commented on #piggate, because of course he has

We’ve all heard the scandal of the 21st Century by now. According to Lord Ashcroft’s scathing new biography, and an anonymous source, our prime minister David Cameron allegedly put his “private parts” into the mouth of a dead pig while he was studying at Oxford University. I mean, really, Dave, what was that all about? Lots of people embarrass themselves during Freshers Week, sure, but most people stick to silent discos and drinking games.

Now - because obviously - opinionated Smiths frontman Morrissey has weighed in on the porking fiasco. A prolific animal rights activist, and the writer of ‘Meat Is Murder,’ he said Cameron’s actions show “callousness and complete lack of empathy.”

No, boys won’t be boys,” wrote Moz on his website True To You “Not when it’s sexual perversion and also involves a vulnerable victim of slaughter, a feeling being who lost his or her life and then was used for a prank. Where have we seen other people in power misusing and sexually abusing corpses? This conduct is not excusable just because the perpetrator is prejudiced against and sneers at the other individual’s identity. A prime minister is supposed to protect the most vulnerable.

Most pigs in the UK already live lives filled with pain and fear, confined to severely crowded, filthy sheds and denied the opportunity to engage in any natural behaviour. They are routinely mutilated, usually without any anaesthetics, including castration and cutting off their tails and teeth. If the allegations made by Lord Ashcroft are true, that Mr Cameron performed a sexual act on a dead pig while at Oxford University, then it shows a callousness and complete lack of empathy entirely unbefitting a man in his position, and he should resign.
