Bullingdon Club

At a time of national crisis, it is heartwarmimg to know that our future is in the hands of Prime Minister David Cameron, Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnstone. All members of the Bullingdon Club......

....which gives them a special insight into the behaviour of the rioters and looters. They might even be able to teach them a thing or two about damaging restaurants!

I don't see why this seems to be making people sit up and notice only now, post-riots.

His membership of the Bullingdon has been widely reported for years, and was even mentioned on Accy Web back in 2008.

He had a typical elitist education, and indulged in the usual boorish Sloaney behaviour.

Hardly breaking news.

His loutish background isn't breaking news.

Except perhaps to those who've been in a coma for the past few years.

It's very well documented, and has been widely published and publicised.

Some are now discussing it like it's some amazing revelation.

He wore tails to school, was a bun throwing Sloane, and married an aristocrat's daughter who has a tattoo on her ankle.

Well I never!

I suppose some Johnny-come-latelys will now want to discuss the relevance of him choosing The Killers as one of his choices, on Desert Island Discs.

Besides paying for the damage, it's sorted anyway, because Daddy knows the Chief Constable, and every judge in the district.

So by that argument, you'd be happy to let Ronnie Biggs look after your wallet because talk of the Great Train Robbery is old news?

But Ronnie Biggs hasn't been Prime Minster of the country, since May of last year.

That would be interesting news to people, if he was.

The majority of people know who's running the country, and know of his background.

It's not new information, except to those perhaps who've recently crawled out from under a stone.

Again, it's hardly breaking news that personally I'm none to thrilled at who's running the country, period.

As usual another pointless thread which would be more fitting to Bee

It would only be newsworthy, and therefore worth discussing in it's own thread, if we actually had a Prime Minister who wasn't guilty of gross hypocrisy.
