I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'who cares' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'porker given pork pie?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pork pie?' could be 'hat' (pork pie is a type of hat) and 'hat' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'sow' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'if' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
