They don't care what they do with power as long as it's them who get to have it. Look at the nonchalant smirks on their terrible pasty faces. But can we have some semblance of sense? Can we have someone in charge who's not a developmentally damaged, cultishly co-opted, biscuit-eating over-privileged princeling? Someone who understands what poverty, what hopelessness, what bad luck might mean in a recession? Someone who spent their university career being involved in student activism, or - god forbid - doing their work, rather than joining elitist drinking clubs and throwing bread rolls at waiters? Look at those lads. We're not asking for rows of potatoes to be planted on the lawns of Balmoral, or for Buckingham Palace to be turned into the country's largest publicly-owned hostel for those made homeless by the credit crunch. Oh, you've eaten the biscuit, I'm sure of it. These young gentlemen, already displaying early signs of Tory jowlage in 1987, include several prominent barristers and businessmen, one bank director, Our Beloved Shadow Prime Minister (top row, second from left) and Our Beloved Mayor (bottom right). The photo above is a picture of the Bullingdon Club, Oxford University's most exclusive drinking society, open to all members of the swaggering upper classes who like to get drunk and smash things. Interviewed by Decca Aitkenhead today, equalities commissioner Trevor Philips said: The task today is not to shout for black people or women, but to break the grip of white men who went to public school. Some of them are doubtless able to defy the expectations of their upbringing but surely not every single one of the disproportionate hordes of the creatures currently running the banks, the civil service, the regions and most of the government, and if the Tories maintain their 20-point poll lead, soon to be running even more of the country? Does anyone else make this calculation and find themselves questioning the natural order of wealth and heredity, if it means that the men who still have almost all of the money and power are overwhelmingly the bizzare, fetishistic, feckless, greasy-haired oiks whose parents have paid hundreds of thousands for them to take part in Soggy Biscuit? They are a strange and self-referential race, trained from boyhood to administrate tenancies, shoot defenceless woodland creatures and come on cookies. White, 'well'-bred public schoolboys are frequently cultish, is what I'm trying to communicate here. Hat-tip to Spiritof1976 for pointing out that this means that this man has almost certainly played Soggy Biscuit.

I'm not trying to suggest that toffs are any more degenerate than the rest of us, but bog-standard, everyday sexual deviancy and experimentation is. This is another thing that makes me inestimably glad that I was not spawned amongst the upper eschelons of society. It involves wanking, and public humiliation, and a biscuit. It's a game that posh public schoolboys are supposed to play. According to the internet, it really happens.įor those across the pond/ around the world/ living in a cardboard box on the M6, the Soggy Biscuit game is, well.
