Cameron: from Eton drugs to Oxford excess - Telegraph
The Bullingdon Club, satirised by Evelyn Waugh as the Bollinger Club in Decline and Fall, is not the naughtiest club in Oxford. The Assassins is more eccentric, the Piers Gaveston more erotic and the Stoics more emetic. But Buller is the most solidly, reassuringly, predictably, ritualistically naughty of the dining societies. Over 150 years, it has evolved from a club devoted to the pleasures of hunting things and playing cricket, into a club devoted to breaking things and passing out and dinners that cost £100 a head and more. Brasenose contemporaries say Mr Cameron was a fringe member of the sub-species Bullingdon Man.

Say what you like, but the English still know what goes in what drawer.
