The Old Boys Network

Photos have emerged of the party leaders in their student days when they were members of Oxford dining (drinking) clubs. Blair is seen making either a hilarious rude gesture or an air guitar pose.


Cameron is seen as a new romantic. In case you can't spot him without his perma-smile he's at number 2. Number 8 is good old Boris Johnson. This club used to get drunk in their thousand pound tails and then trash hotel rooms, pubs and dining rooms and then pay for the damage. I'm so glad I don't live in Oxford with p****s like that around. Then again they now run the country so there is no real escape.

All that this serves to underline is the levels of cronyism in politics. The old school tie. Harriet Harman has suggested that a woman is needed at the top of government to fill the quotas. How about a quota of non-Oxbridge ministers? How about a quota of people who went to state school?

There are no photos of Ming Cambell. Maybe his wild days were before the camera was invented. I voted for your party you useless sod. Do something! Make the news, anything. The way that Charles Kennedy was treated was shocking. They shouldn't have sacked him.
