It's hard to believe that it's been exactly one year since the world media reacted to claims our former Prime Minister, David Cameron, performed an obscene act with a dead pig during his studies at Oxford University.
(That, and the fact everyone thought Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror episode 'National Anthem' was a prophecy of British politics. If you didn't see it, basically the PM is required to have sex with a pig on television. Freaky, or what?)
Anyway, in the hours that followed Lord Ashcroft's allegations towards the PM, social media was alight with the hashtag #piggate.
Cue tweets about bacon, Babe: Pig in the City, Peppa Pig.
Personally, I haven't been able to look at a packet of Frazzles in the same way since...
Fortunately, for the politician, rumours of his alleged piggy antics finally died down. But, trust good old social media to dig it all up again on the first anniversary since the announcement:
Sorry Dave, but you have to admit – it's a 'crackling' story.
