    I had a £50 note once. I spent it.

    They also like to rock up to country pubs, smash the crockery and furniture, and terrorise the staff and customers whilst they gorge and drink themselves into unconsciousness.

    It's all just high spirits though, and definitely not the behaviour of over-privileged thick ****s.

    A working class or even worse unemployed person does it they are mindless thugs who need locking away from decent folk.

    A upper class/rich person does it it's just a jolly jape

    Makes a change from the buggery that usually goes on amongst public school types.

    So very true.

    Can I just say, that the "beggars" we have in central London could probably burn two £50 notes in front of these over privileged tossers.

    The Bullingdon Club is full of such toffs that even Boris Johnson had to publicly disown it.

    For once, I do actually agree with Boris: "This is a truly shameful vignette of almost superhuman undergraduate arrogance, toffishness and twittishness. But at the time you felt it was wonderful to be going round swanking it up."

    At least it is their own money.

    Labour voters take my hard-earned money and blow it on cheap booze and scratch cards!

    Have you any evidence for this?

    As for the Bullingdon mouth-breathing ponces I would just love for them to to try their 'high jinks' in any working class area pub - perhaps on a sink estate.

    That would indeed be a jolly jape.

    Careful, you're starting to over-egg that pudding just a tad.

    And to think they are the people entrusted to look after the vulnerable of this country :(:(
    It sickens me.

    A friend of a friend (who I trust) alleges that the Bully Boys were as nice as pie when booking a meal, and continued to be so for a good fifteen minutes while settling in, getting the lay of the land etc.

    She was genuinely surprised - and very upset - when she was then called a 'f**king dyke c**t' for not serving drinks quick enough.

    "We are the famous Bullingdon Club! And we don't give a f**k!"
    Heroes.

    And these are the people who are running this country.

    But they have been ruthlessly brilliant at one thing and one thing only - demonising the weak, poor, sick and most vulnerable in society (with a lot of help from their chums in the media) whilst making their super-rich friends even wealthier than they already were.

    Millions of people are now totally convinced that every single person claiming any sort of benefit is a lying, lazy, workshy, scrounging bastard.

    Seems to have changed by the time Cameron and Co joined.

    I think it is an absolute c**p name for a called club.

    This discussion reminds me of this:

    George and Dave may have swapped biscuits a couple of times.

    What a revolting thought. :cry:

    Alan Johnson should be leading Labour - if he was they would be way ahead in the polls.

    Perhaps but I find the attitude towards the backgrounds of Cameron and Osborne laughably hypocritical when you consider ed is as from as affluent a background as they are are. Labour my arse.

    Plus getting down with Russell "t**t" Brand is pathetic :D

    That's how propaganda works. I realise this is probably Godwining the thread but....Big lie
