So you can lie your head off like Boris which led to him being sacked from the Times from fabricating a quote to being dismissed from the Tory front bench when he dismissed having an affair with journalist Petronella Wyatt as ‘complete balderdash,’ only for it to be confirmed by Petronella and her family. This though is the era of the shite reaching the top.
It’s also about ensuring the status quo and making sure that the inhabitants of the Naughty Hellfire remain on top.īy rights Boris Johnson shouldn’t be anywhere close to Downing street never mind being Prime Minister.
It’s about getting the lofty positions of Student President where the cut of your jib is more important than doing the tiresome stuff of learning and working hard.Įntering politics for the likes of Boris Johnson is just another continuation of this big debating society. Reading Kuper’s piece in the FT the impression one gets is that Oxford for the likes of Boris Johnson, Cameron, and Oik to name a few is one big debating society. From politics, banking or medicine if your that way inclined.įor the likes of Boris Johnson it is a world of walking around like Bertie Wooster indulging in the best and where everything is just a game. From there you can do pretty much what you want. Going to Eton or Rugby means either a choice of Cambridge or Oxford. The system as Simon Kuper recently wrote for the Financial Times is rigged. If they ever find themselves in a sticky situation such as Jimmy the sticky insect being caught in a sticky bun then their butler (Wilf) will get them out of it. For them everything is champer’s, japes, and being part of a debating society scoring points. However, such is their sense of entitlement and the belief the world revolves around them that it would not be a surprise. Of course Boris Johnson, David Cameron, and George Osborne don’t really belong to the Naughty Hellfire club where only cads and bounders need apply. If you’re poor then your a menace to society and need to be shown what’s what. So long as you are posh of course as it’s just japes. Nicking Policemen’s helmets, debagging oily ticks, and boorish behaviour is the norm. A club were the members believe they are there to rule whilst everyone else is their butler Wilf or Cheffie. Yes, this is a club where privilege, champers, and a sense of entitlement exists. One for not being posh enough and secondly for being a oily tick who the likes of Cecil, Teflon, Dave, etc would have had bent over and used as a toast rack like William Pitt in Blackadder the third. Ask Walter Softy or Jacob Rees-Mogg as he is commonly known, he has been literally blackballed numerous times. Not even a place at Eton can guarantee you membership though. Oik (George Osbourne) of course is the exception to the rule due to being chums with David Cameron and Teflon Boris Johnson. You can be the richest person on the planet but you have to be one of a certain breeding and to have gone to either Eton or Rugby to be considered. Never mind the Bullingdon club, the Naughty Hellfire is ten times more decadent and outrageous.
