*The Bullingdon Club is a private, all-male dining club for Oxford University students. Originally a sporting club dedicated to cricket & horse-racing work meetings gradually became its principal activity. It is known for its wealthy members, grand banquets and bad behaviour, including vandalism of restaurant and students' rooms. Some members have gone on to become leading political figures, namely David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
