it has come to my attention that many of my international followers were unaware that the black mirror episode where the prime minister (loosely based on david cameron) fucked a pig in fact aired several years before the news emerged that the prime minister (david cameron) had actually fucked a pig

and furthermore, the prime minister who actually did fuck a pig did not do it due to a hostage situation, but as an initiation for a uni drinking society.

the other difference between the black mirror episode and the time the prime minister actually fucked a pig was that the pig david cameron actually fucked was dead.

so if you ever wonder why the british are so Like That, remember that in the last decade we have had five prime ministers and the objectively least terrible one was the one who actually fucked a pig to get into a posh club
@stavvers kind of back and forth on cameron vs may and may i think was slightly less worse than cameron by sheer dint of she didn't really get much of anything done

@Cube @stavvers
Also, May's postmortem interspecies copulation record is, as far as we know, better. Or worse, depending on where you stand on the matter.

Of course anything could have happened during a nighttime run through the fields. A deceased badger, a romantic moon, passion ignites, the music swells...

@jannem @Cube @stavvers my view is that Cameron is the slightly better. He brought us to the door of chaos, but at least had the decency (in the end) to go “yeah, I’m not doing that”. May (and others) got the job entirely on their commitment to knowingly destroy the country. (Whether they delivered anything seems irrelevant - I feel like a basic requirement for all PMs should be a desire not to ruin the country they’re in charge of.)

@PlanetMillie
Hard agree on all counts.

Cameron was the worst PM we’d ever had … until May.

May was the worst PM we’d ever had … until Johnson.

Johnson was the worst PM we’d ever had … until Truss.

Sunak ranks somewhere around May … objectively awful in every way, yet somehow not the worst.

@clacksee Lol I agree with your ranking! Also, weirdly you popped up in my feed yesterday about Star Trek and I thought “Yey a Star Trek person” and now you’ve spoken to me 12 hours later, like the universe is nudging us to talk to each other!
