    Default Bullingdon Club Eton.....The Riot Club: 'It's hard to believe these people actually exist'

    This is quite timely with the Scottish independence vote just finished .Although
    only a tiny percentage of the country they get nearly all the privilege and power...

    This is not only in the UK, US , Saudi but all over the world even in China
    and North Korea. This is what the fight for equality is about, and for the
    many millions if not billions living to serve the 1%'s........

    This is why not only the UK but world elitism should finally resigned to history'
    with Kings , Queens. Popes , Sheiks , princes and all the other pompous titles
    including. 'Our beloved Supreme leader ' in North Korea....LOL

    The Riot Club: 'It's hard to believe these people actually exist'By Tim Masters
    Arts and entertainment correspondent, BBC News



    Short vid on link.....http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29219391

    Riot Club film writer Laura Wade says David Cameron and George Osborne 'might
    take issue with what the film suggests' but she hopes they may like the humour

    Based on Laura Wade's hit stage play Posh, The Riot Club tells the story of 10
    Oxford students who gather at a country pub for a night of debauchery that begins
    with a 10-bird roast and Latin drinking games.By the end, it is more than glass and
    crockery that lies broken. Lives, reputations and future careers also hang in the
    balance.

    Wade, who adapted her play for the big screen, became interested in Oxbridge
    dining societies in 2007 when she was working on a research project about wealthy
    young people in London.

    Posh was first performed in 2010 at London's Royal Court and transferred to the West End in 2012.

    At the time, comparisons were drawn between the Riot Club and Oxford's real-life
    Bullingdon Club, whose past members include David Cameron, George Osborne and
    Boris Johnson.

    Wade, though, has always insisted her characters are purely fictional.

    Max Irons, who stars in the film as Riot Club inductee Miles Richards, admits he had
    reservations when he first read Wade's script about the pleasure-seeking undergrads.

    "I thought they were so unpleasant and the values that they stood for were so
    unpleasant. I found it hard to believe that these people actually exist. I was worried
    that it was glorifying the behaviour."

    As part of his preparation, Irons "met a couple of the 'Buller' boys" who confirmed the
    world depicted in the film "isn't actually far from the truth".

    "It shocked me that this exists and that these people are around - and often in positions
    of great power," said the 28-year-old son of actors Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack.

    In Lone Scherfig's film, Tom Hollander cameos as a Riot Club alumnus - now a Tory MP
    - who suggests that when things go wrong the old boys' network will save the day.

    "People like us don't make mistakes," he purrs after the club's latest gastro pub outing has taken an nasty turn.

    Sam Claflin, who plays student Alistair Ryle, says the story offered an insight into a
    world that he wasn't familiar with.

    "It's so detached from my upbringing," he tells the BBC. "I found it absolutely hilarious.
    I couldn't believe it was based on a real thing."

    Claflin and co-star Douglas Booth spent a day at Eton College meeting students and one
    of their tutors.

    "It was very eye-opening," says Claflin, whose other roles include Finnick Odair in the Hunger Games franchise. "One of the kids was 18. He was a lord.

    "He talked us through his upbringing and what was expected of him in the future.
    There's a huge amount of pressure.

    "He said his father, brother, cousin, uncle [and] grandfather had all been to Oxford so
    he'll have to go. I can't imagine my parents expecting that of me."

    Ipswich-born Claflin points out that gang culture is often depicted within the sections of
    society with no power or money.

    "This is the polar opposite," he goes on. "This is an insight into a world that isn't looked
    at very often.

    "You put them in the spotlight, but it's still gang culture. They have power and money
    and will continue to grow even further. That's what makes it interesting."

    Booth plays Harry Villiers in the film. A champion fencer whose father is a duke, he
    knows he will one day inherit the family estate.

    another Riot Club member
    "These guys kill with charm - that's how they exist and get by in life," says the actor,
    whose roles include Boy George in BBC biopic Worried About the Boy and Pip in Great Expectations.

    When he met members of a real university dining club he found them "so charming and
    easy to talk to.

    "What I soon learned is that these people became the people we were portraying when
    they come together. It's like a pack mentality.

    "They said that walking through those doors to those dinners is a bit like walking into
    Narnia. It's another world - protected by the history of the club and previous members.

    "They feel like they can do things they would otherwise not do."

    But Booth stresses the film does not point fingers at anyone in particular.

    "There are 20,000 people at Oxford University, and there's only 10 in the Riot Club. It's
    a minority.

    "I have some very great friends at Oxford. I don't want to tarnish the whole of Oxford
    with that brush, that wouldn't be fair."

    Irons agrees. "I don't think it's an attack on people who are wealthy and privileged. It's
    about certain people and how some get a different treatment in life compared to others.

    "I could go further but I probably shouldn't..."

    The Riot Club is out in the UK and Ireland on 19 September.

    How a narrow Oxbridge elite still dominates UK public life: More than 75% of senior judges and half the cabinet attended university

    How a narrow Oxbridge elite still dominates UK public life: More than 75% of senior
    judges and half the cabinet attended university More than a third of David Cameron's
    cabinet attended a fee paying school A pressure group has urged the fast-tracking of
    disadvantaged students Britain's elite still goes to Eton before attending Oxbridge,
    claims report Only seven percent of the population has been privately educated

    By Sarah Harris for The Daily Mail

    Published: 00:01, 28 August 2014 | Updated: 00:08, 28 August 2014

    Britain is still ‘deeply elitist’, with privately-educated pupils and Oxbridge graduates
    continuing to dominate the top roles in society, a new report warns.

    Many of the nation’s judges, politicians, armed forces chiefs, journalists, TV executives
    and public officials attended fee-paying schools before studying at Oxford and Cambridge.

    The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission is calling for disadvantaged students
    from less prestigious universities to be fast-tracked into leading professions to correct
    the bias.It wants leading employers to ignore the university background of applicants
    during recruitment rounds and publish data on the social background of all their
    members of staff.

    The commission – an advisory body of the Department for Education – believes the
    move is necessary as its research shows the UK’s top jobs ‘remain disproportionately
    held by people from a narrow range of backgrounds’.

    But critics fear that the recommendations for employers amount to discriminating
    against privately-educated pupils and warn against quotas.

    The commission analysed the education of more than 4,000 individuals holding the most
    prestigious jobs in British society and concluded that the country’s elite is still ‘formed
    on the playing fields of independent schools’ and ‘finished in Oxbridge’s dreaming
    spires’.



    George Osborne, pictured, also went to Oxford and was a member of the Bullingdon Club with Boris Johnson

    No less than 71 per cent of senior judges, almost two thirds of senior armed forces
    officers, more than half of senior diplomats, and over a third of the Cabinet attended a
    fee-paying school. David Cameron attended Eton and Oxford.

    Nationally, around seven per cent of the UK population attended a private school.

    The proportions were similar when the researchers examined who went to Oxford or
    Cambridge among the leading professions, even though 62 per cent of UK adults did not
    even attend university.

    The commission says the ‘sheer scale of the dominance of certain backgrounds’ raises
    questions about whether getting a top job is about ability or knowing the right people.


    It has called for a national effort to ‘break open’ Britain’s elite. It wants employers to
    use ‘contextual evaluation of academic achievements’ and ‘university-blind applications’
    during recruitment drives.

    This would involve bosses taking into account the family or school background of an
    applicant.

    The commission also wants leading employers to publish data on the proportion of staff
    who have claimed free school meals, attended private schools and whose parents went to university.

    Alan Milburn, its chairman, said yesterday: ‘Firms risk missing out on the best if they
    arbitrarily restrict recruitment rounds to certain institutions or cherry-pick applicants on
    the basis of university alone.’

    The end of the grammar school system is believed to have helped widen class divisions.
    It meant that bright pupils from poor backgrounds no longer had the 11-plus exam as a
    means of getting ahead in education.

    Former grammar school Prime Ministers include Harold Wilson, John Major and Margaret Thatcher.

    Ruth Lea, economic adviser at Arbuthnot Banking Group, said the recommendation for
    companies to introduce ‘university-blind’ applications was ‘completely impractical’ and
    ignored the fact that a number of universities are known to excel at certain types of subjects.

    From another thread...

    Thread: Is the Rothschild family being wrongly blamed?

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...y-blamed/page4




    STUDENT PALS: Osborne (left) and Rothschild became friends in the Bullingdon Club at Oxford Uinversity

    Future UK government leaders such as David Cameron and Shadow Chancellor, George
    Osborne, may have been filmed using drugs and engaged in Sadomasochism and other
    acts which Hawks’ CAFE alleges could be used to extort official policy from these
    individuals while they are in positions of power.


    Bearing in mind the above post ...Osbourne is Chancellor of the Exchequer (JOKE !!)

    Nathanial Tipped for the top in the Banking dynysty!!


    Nat Rothschild - the 35-year-old scion of the wealthy banking dynasty, one-time black
    sheep of the family, and now a rising star in his own right.
    Earlier this month, the New York Times highlighted his extraordinary metamorphosis
    from playboy to hedge fund prince, and tipped him as "a kingmaker in his own right,
    and an investor who some say may become the richest Rothschild of them all".
    An extravagant assertion - but not without some plausibility. Rich-list compiler Philip
    Beresford says: "He has been on my radar for some time. He jets around the world
    empire-building, keeping in touch with his deals via the latest satellite communications.
    He has the years on his side and the right connections.
    "What he needs is one of those historic opportunities like the ones seized by his
    ancestors. If he gets that golden moment, he could be the richest one of his generation

    You have been had, mate. Come to Wembley and see how it's been done and what you are really worshipping.




    ‘The Archbishop of Canterbury has admitted to feeling doubts over the existence of God.


    In a recent interview at Bristol Cathedral, Archbishop Justin Welby said on a recent morning run with
    his dog he had questioned why God had failed to intervene to prevent injustice.

    “The other day I was praying over something as I was running and I ended up saying to God ‘Look
    this is all very well but isn’t it about time you did something – if you’re there.’”’

    Bojo v Barack? New York-born Boris says he could be President Johnson

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...son#post537465




    I was listening to a satirical comedy show earlier and it was mentioned that
    Boris was born in America and would be eligible to run for the White house
    which i find highly amusing as he is the British, George Bush junior !!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Just as you thought the days of Bungling George Bush 2 were a bad memory !!
    A new threat lurks from across the pond.A great white shark in the guise of 'Bubbling boris'
    Mare ( God knows how!) of London....

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    David Cameron can breathe a sigh of relief but Barack Obama better look out – Boris Johnson says he could run for the White House.

    The Mayor of London, appearing on David Letterman’s US talk show, dismissed his chances
    of ever becoming PM, saying it was as likely as him “being reincarnated as an olive, or being blinded by a ­champagne cork”.

    But he joked: “I suppose I could be president of the United States – you know technically speaking.”

    Boris explained he had been born in New York which made him a joint British and US citizen.




    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Question Time Boris Vocabulary How many words do you know?



    He can make words up just like Georgy !!

    Boris Johnson Offends Papua New Guinea



    In this clip, Boris Johnson (When he was Shadow Minister for Higher Education) offends
    Papua New Guinea in a comment about the internal politics of the Tory Party, and then
    offers a rather humorous apology.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Funniest Interview with Boris Johnson (not to be missed!)



    Boris Johnson (Mayor of London) funniest interview - discussing about smoking, cannabis and other drug related issues.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There are many more examples of Borism's and he is renown as a bit of a
    womaniser and is a classic " Cartoon British Politition" of the days of empire..
    I just thought I'd give my cousins over the pond a bit of a heads up and
    somthing else to worry about ...LOL

    You will be seeing a lot of him this summer in respect of the Lizards Jubilee
    and the Zionists games....LOL

    Yes Thanks Ellisa he was descended from German royalty it ties in very well with the Eton boys being in power at the moment
    in three of the most importent political positions in British Politics ....

    Prime Minister...David Cameron...... Eton
    Chancellor........George Osbourne... Eton
    Mayor of London.."BORIS"............. Eton

    'Scull & Bones anyone there is more than this than just coincidence as David Icke said on the Alex Jones thread I put up
    with David Yesterday.....2012...Jubilee years for the "Liz'''ards"....Rothchilds "Zionist olympics" ...All power to the
    Elite Etonians......This is a light thread with " DARK SATURNIC UNDERTONES"..LOL..



    Cameron 2...Boris 8




    Osbourne and Rothchilds....

    Its Just a " COINCIDENCE"!!!

    ====================================================
    ===================================================



    Boris seems a likeable chap but his rise to the top is very odd if not helped up
    the ladder so to speak. But who knows ??

    Boris finding out he is related to even more German aristocracy..
    King Frederick of Wurrtenberg Castle and all ..LOL..



    Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=TaELqAymMB4



    And also King George the second of Britain is his
    grand father eight times removed and he is related
    to all the Royal families of Europe.

    So he is of the 'Bloodline'......but so are thousands of others
    so the 'Elites' have a large gene pool to choose from !!

    gives away 90% of his salary. He’s legalised marijuana and gay marriage. But his
    greatest legacy is governing without giving up his revolutionary ideals.’
