		</div><p>David Cameron has hit out at the author of a controversial biography of him and addressed its claims that he took part in a bizarre student ritual.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister said people would “see straight through” the motives behind the book – by wealthy former party donor Lord Ashcroft and journalist Isabel Oakeshott – which contains a series of damaging allegations.</p>
<p>One, which was dismissed as nonsense by sources close to the premier when it was published as part of a newspaper serialisation last week, was the allegation that he participated in a stunt while at Oxford University involving a dead pig and “a private part of his anatomy”.</p>
<p>Lord Ashcroft – who gave the Conservatives £8m while the party was in opposition and led a drive to win marginal seats – has said he decided to write the book when Cameron declined to reward him with a sufficiently senior job in government when he came to power in 2010.</p>
<p>Asked directly about the allegation as he spoke to journalists accompanying him on a flight to New York, the PM said: “I can see why the book was written and I think everyone can see straight through it.</p>
<p>“As for the specific issue raised, a very specific denial was made a week ago and I’ve nothing to add to that.”</p>
<p>Cameron told Sky News he was “too busy running the country” to consider legal action.</p>
<p>“If you do a job like this you do get people who have agendas and write books and write articles and write all sorts of things, but the most important thing is … doing the job.”</p>
