A LABOUR WHIP has apologised for a Twitter post that called Conservatives "scum-sucking pigs".
David Wright's micro-blogging tweet claimed "you can put lipstick on a scum-sucking pig but it is still a scum-sucking pig".
The Telford MP apologised for the comment but said it had been "tinkered with" to make it "more offensive".
Wright told the BBC that this was a legitimate "edgy Twitter comment about the political process" and the Tories' "general policy position".
But he insisted he never used the phrase "scum-sucking", saying his account had been hacked into and the phrase added by someone after the message was published. Wright has taken the comment down and has asked Twitter to investigate it.
Why he apologised for something he claims he didn't say is anyone's guess. We think he should rather have apologised to swine for comparing them to British politicians, especially as they've had such a hard time what with the flu and everything.
Of course being truly in touch with working class speak, the Conservatives accused Wright of using "gutter language".
If Wright wanted to use real gutter language about the Tories he could have come up with something a little better.
We think, "Smug gits who are only going to get elected because Gordon Brown is about as charismatic as a road accident and the voting public is so jaded that they think it is amusing to elect the likes of Boris Johnson," would be a good start. µ
. . . how politicians only apologise when they tell the truth and not when they lie.
This is a prime example of liberal name calling...and these are the people in power? what the hell!
Twitter is a tech company. Hence when a politician uses a tech site to get up to no good, it gets reported on a tech news site. Get it?
As to the story, it just goes to show that politicians are the same on both sides of the pond. Like the old joke goes....
If you drop a conservative and a liberal out of an airplane at the same time, which one hits first?
A: Who cares?
Why the Labour have all the nasty fetishes? Cross dressing porkers? Caught out, bang to Wright by the short and curlies; red-handed in some sort of pig-headed menage-a-trois of bangers and mash, slicker than a greased pig's arse an all combed to daddy's tummy. Lipstick on a pig's ear? I didn't reckon pigs could fly that way. I suppose he'd also make a shot for kisses for gissies, and on Facebook he has it off, going high on the hog Wilde with a Wright good pig in a poke, as in a pig's eye: all the world's a sty. I reckon some MPs are more porcine than otters. Three thing's certain about parliament: there are too many pigs, not enough tits, and they go at everything butt the squeal. Next Foreign Secretary David Miliband will accuse the Torrid of harbouring Gay Nazi sympathisers who like nothing better than to spend the evening licking the nuts off a large Neapolitan Nutty Buddy bananna spit. Politicians: They're all bloody oinkers!
WTF does british politics have to do with technology? Are you the british huffpost or are you a tech site?
Leave Boris alone .. he's a top geeza. Boris should be Prime Minister - that lovey dovey "Call me Dave" is a bit of softie. I'm pretty sure Boris used to bully him at school.
Go Boris!
