Asked where he wanted to be a curate, he jokingly suggested Monte Carlo. -->

By contrast, Mr. Osborne seems far less removed from the haughty picture of himself and his club members, garbed in bow ties and tails, that has come to define the view that the recast Conservatives still lack a common touch.

File:This photo of David Cameron and Boris Johnson, and friends of theirs in their Bullingdon Club livery, and similar photos, have been widely reproduced and commented upon.jpg
This photo of David Cameron and Boris Johnson, and friends of theirs in their Bullingdon Club livery, have been widely reproduced and commented upon...

File:Who doctored the toffs....jpg
Journalist Peter Hitchens noted that this photo of members of the Bullingdon Club, taken in the early 1990s, has been doctored. At least two individuals images have been incompletely airbrushed out of the image. Individuals in the photo include George Osborne, Nathaniel Rothschild, Harry Mount, Jason Gissing, Chris Coleridge, Lupus von Maltzahn, Peter Holmes a Court and the late Mark Petre.[1]

The Bullingdon Club is a long-established club for students at the University of Oxford.[2]

Originally founded as a club to support sports, at Oxford, like cricket, by the late 20th century, its members were notorious for vandalism, sexism, drunken rowdiness, and elitism.[2] By the 21st century the bad behaviour of club members, like future Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom David Cameron and Boris Johnson had caused the club membership to dwindle.[3] In 2018 the Oxford Conservative Party Association barred Club members from leadership positions within the Association.[4]

When Johnson was Prime Minister he was criticized for appointing individuals, who had been his friends in the club, to posts for which they seem unqualified.[2]

Johnson was widely criticized for appointing former Bullingdon Club member Ewen Fergusson to the Committee on Standards in Public Life - a committee intended to rout out corrupt activities.[5] Ferguson was the 173 choice in a ranking of possible candidates for committee membership.[6]

Even after the earlier criticism for appointing other friends of his, on September 2, 2022 - less than a week before his scheduled retirement as Prime Minister, Johnson appointed former club member Harry Mount to the House of Lords appointments commission.[7] Mount is the author of "The Wit and Wisdom of Boris Johnson".

The club was mocked by Evelyn Waugh in Brideshead Revisited and Decline and Fall, and in the 2014 film The Riot Club.[8][2]
