What class of scum are you?

Andrew Gimson, biographer of Boris Johnson:

I don`t think an evening would have ended without a restaurant being trashed and being paid for in full, very often in cash. A night in the cells would be regarded as being par for a Buller man and so would debagging anyone who really attracted the irritation of the Buller men.

As members of the Bullingdon dining club, which dates back more than 150 years, David Cameron and his friends were obliged to wear the outfits for their annual photograph. But within hours of the photo being taken, the 10 young men were wreaking havoc on Oxford, where they were all at university. One of them, said to be Ewen Fergusson, threw a plant pot through a restaurant window and the police were called. ``The party ended up with a number of us crawling on all fours through the hedges of the botanical gardens, and trying to escape police dogs,`` said Boris Johnson, who was among those arrested. ``And once we were in the cells we became pathetic namby-pambies.`` Twenty years later most of the young men in this photograph are facing their 40s. Ewen Fergusson is a successful corporate lawyer and Boris Johnson is the shadow spokesman for higher education. Cameron is the leader of the Conservative Party, who said recently: ``Like many young people, I did things when I was young that I should not have done and that I regret.``:

What we have is a society of Bullingdon Boys...only without a rich daddy to bail them out when they trash a business, steal or cause general mayhem, or attack an innocent bystander.
