David, are you willing to publicly condemn your Bullingdon past? First, the damage to the pub. Second, the elitism of this kind of club, which contributes to state-school children not applying to Oxbridge. Thirdly, the slightly shameful behaviour of shutting yourself away with your old Eton friends. Would it not be better to talk about this episode in order to put it behind you?

Why should he condemn his past? That's crazy. Anybody who is over 40 years old will have done lots of silly things as a teenager. And if they haven't - then they are probably very boring!!! :)

that's life. It's not a big deal.

Hattie, I think it's more people like us talk about Bullingdon that puts people off applying to Oxbridge - not bullingdon itself! It's just another myth about the institution - secret societies and elitist clubs!
