1.1 This is the Bullingdon Club, an exclusive but unofficial all-male’s dining club in Oxford. It’s had many important members throughout it’s years, but you probably don’t know many of them. You may however know of these two; The pig faced fellow is David Cameron, future Prime Minister of Britain and dopey looking chap is Boris Johnson, future Mayor of London.
2. My name is - BORIS: You there! Be ready with the camera… YT: (Holding 80’s camera) Er, yes - ready… Boris: Good, now then chaps, on the count of three… one… two… three! 3.2 The first time I saw David Cameron was during his initiation into the Bullingdon Club. (Shot of boys bursting into room with cricket bats etc) They initiate people by smashing the poor sods room to pieces. (Shot of the room being smashed apart) Whilst they sit in bed watching their belongings shattered. (Shot of Cameron in bed (with a pig) *remove??, there are posters of pigs all behind him) recognise 4.3 The Next Day Boris: Did you see his room? His walls were covered with pictures of pigs! Second boy: Do you think he tosses off to them? Third boy: Probably! He should have a poster of Ms Thatcher, like the rest of us!
5.4 Dave and Boris were both strong minded people so it wasn’t a surprise when they began to butt heads. Boris: I think we should go out tonight. Maybe tear up a restaurant or something. David: Really? I think we should stay in and order food. Boris: No chance! We should get out of here! David: No, we should stay in! Boris: OUT! David: IN! They’re still having this same argument to this day…
6. This aggression towards each eventually began to get worse. (Three panels - Boris on left, David on right text in middle, boys in the background). Boris: So then, Dave - does your family have any money in off shore accounts? David: No! Of course not! Boris: What?! Haha! Are you a pauper or something?! David: No! I mean, of course they do! Boris: Oh, they do now, do they?! David: Of course they do, I swear it!
Boris: Of course, I believe you, old bean - many wouldn’t but I do! David: They do! Do you know what, I don’t care what you think! It’s a private family matter anyway!
7. Over time the lads soon began to like Dave more than Boris. This made Dave overly confident to the point of arrogance, whilst it made Boris bitter and even more brash.
8.5 Eventually Boris, using his power as head of the Bullingdon Club, decided that Dave hadn’t truly earned his place in the ranks so gave him three tasks, hoping he’d fail one of them… Firstly, had to streak though Oxford with nothing but his dinner hat on. Then, burn a £50 note in front of a homeless man. And finally… there was the pigs head.
9.6 Many of us thought the pigs head was too far. David: You… you want me to? But went for it. And, as I saw him pumping away into a dead pigs mouth I knew ‘there was a man who is willing to go the distance to prove himself’. I knew at that moment this man, well… he had the potential to be Prime Minister. I knew at that moment this was a man willing to go the distance to prove himself. To do whatever it took to be accepted. This man was a leader… A future Prime Minister - pumping away into a dead pigs mouth. 10. With me knowing so much about this lot you may be wondering who I am in the Bullingdon Club picture… I’m none of them. You see, each year the Bullers nominated an honorary steward whose job it is to follow them around, wait on them and generally do everything they ask. Boris: You there! Hurry up and take the bloody picture!! In this case, I was told to take a picture.
