The Bullingdon Club, membership of which requires you to be very rich, is an Oxford University Club whose main claim to fame is their trips to local restaurants which they then totally trash for fun.
Having very rich Daddy's they can afford to (usually) buy the silence of the restaurant owner.
Is someone who was once a member of this club fit to be our Prime Minister?

Sorry - I'm talking about David Cameron, not Tony Blair.

trucker - apparently Cameron declines to discuss the subject. The Tories were really scared of the Club photo of him, thinking it could do much more damage than his admission of smoking pot at Eton. And for some reason the person who owns the copyright to the photo of him in his Club gear has now decided not to allow people to use it.

We, in the united kingdom had our Deputy best minister John Prescott, shaking palms with Robert Magabe, a pair of years in the past. We had our best Minster Tony Blair licking the IRAs boots, to get the good Friday settlement. we've extra advantageous than our honest share of international criminals, (terrorists) who will no longer be able to be sent decrease back to their very own u . s ., because of the fact they declare (their human rights would be abused.) we've Lord Longford and his type, wanting fairer scientific look after baby killers. it incredibly is no longer basically Italy that have nutters.

This is a Very GOOD Question because it is directed at a white man!
You, nor any of your ilk,would ever ask this of a black,a Jew, or a gay.
Because THAT would make it a very BAD question.
By the way, have you seen the Photo of Our Glorious Leader in yesterday's paper?
Wow,MAN! Ain't he one real COOL dude with his impeccable Socialist gear and Worker and Peasant written all over him.
And what about the guys that he was showing Solidarity with?.
I've never seen such a Collective of
"Horny-Handed Sons of Toil"
Those are just the sort of Guys who can
"Feel Our Pain"
Those are just the sort of Guys that we the "Ordinary people" can bond with!
(I always felt that "ordinary people" was a slightly patronising phrase. I wouldn't normally use it myself. But if Tony's Cronies can use it.........
Well? They all know what's best for us!
Who are we to argue?
I eagerly await some right-thinking person
(perhaps A Guardianista)
to explain the cultural implications of Right-on Tone's little gesture with his hand.
Is it perhap some ethnic gesture?
To show his Solidarity with "rappers"?
Is it perhaps some gesture to show solidarity
with Gays: unfortunately we can't see his back-pockets.
Perhaps some kind person could enlighten us.
Perhaps some of the charming
Alaistair's "Sprites and Elves"
who took such care to Airbrush the gesture from the original Photo.
Myself, I don't see any reason to Hush-up the original Photo.
If you've got it Flaunt it!
I always say.
Still, these lads must have a reason for hushing things up.
Perhaps the gesture could be a danger to our security.
We all know you use "security"
in case someone finds out what you're up to.
Anyway,"Tones" must dash.
May your glottal stops never grow less.
So,may the Jocks and Cockneys love you and your "glottal stops" for aye and aye.
I use "aye" in the sense of "ever".
Not in the sense of "Yes".
Which you use when you're showing that you are really one of THEM (or is it one of THOSE?),I can never remember.
And giving it the bit of Jock accent to show that you'd really rather be with them and a few sheep.
How you remember the "Och Ayes" from "the "glottal stops" I don't know.
Haven't your "Comrades" turned out disappointingly though.
Not a coalminer among them!
I wou'ld have thought at least a couple Social Workers!
I suppose the coalminer bit is all down to Thatcher.
When you all applied, the pits were closed I suppose.
Must go out now,Tones,baby.
If I don't go out, how will those poor victim muggers survive?
Hey, Boris!
Liked your style in your "piccy"
You Got My Vote! Hey Tones, Baby.
Should have trusted my instincts when I saw the original air-brushed photo:
My mates and I all said:
"Don't he look a right WORKER in that gear?
When we saw the second photo,we said:
"Look that at bunch of WORKERS!"
We've also figured out your coded message to the Old Fighters who kept The Red Flag flying.
"Look at that!"
You're saying: showing us what you're hand is doing.
We "Old Guard" know.
It's either your Hammer or Your Sickle.
We all have our different names for it.
I guess that your open mouth, and appearance of panting or breathing heavy, indicates the heavier of the"Worker's Weapons".
I use the word "Weapon" not in its "Capitalist-Fascist-Deviationist -Revisionist-Warmonger" sense,of course.
Didn't these words trip so lightly from our lips in the Good Old Days?
Before we found a better way to get our snouts in the trough.
Myself,I always liked "Bourgeois-Cosmopolitanism". Pity that The Jews stopped us using it.

nobodies youthful exuberance should reflect upon their later life. However, the question should be, if somebody could not afford such a privileged upbringing, should that exclude them from being the prime minister later on in life?

Well, I find this less disturbing than the fact that a series of events occurring while he has been in office could get him prosecuted, like "cash for honours" or legality of war in Iraq for example.

it seems a bit of a long stride from spoiltpot smoking brat to caring leader of the tories. and would be leader of the nation.
did he repent of his ill deeds or just grow out of them. or are they still lurking.
