'In 2016, Ralph Perry-Robinson, a Bullingdon member in the mid-1980s, confirmed that prostitutes attended club events. “We always hire whores… prostitutes were paid extra by members who wanted to use them,”'
bit.ly/2L5Rzl1
Bullingdon members “found it amusing if people were intimidated or frightened by their behaviour. I remember them walking down a street in Oxford in their tails, chanting ‘Buller, Buller’ and smashing bottles along the way, just to cow people.”
“Boris was one of the big beasts of the club. He was up for anything. They treated certain types of people with absolute disdain, & referred to them as ‘plebs’ or ‘grockles’ & the police were always called ‘plod’. Their attitude was that women were there for their entertainment.”

#BREAKING Highly placed sources indicate that the Kenyan High Commission in London is investigating a suspicious increase in applications for tourist visas which may be linked to economic migrants fleeing potential #Brexit chaos.
#BREAKING Sources say similar suspicious increases in applications for tourist visas have been recorded at other African embassies and consulates in London. A meeting of the AU Commission later today will try to chart a coordinated response without fueling a panic. #Brexit
#BREAKING AU #Brexit mediator, Monica Juma, suspends face-to-face negotiations between PM Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn saying the inability to agree on the meaning of English words is hampering progress. For the moment, she says she will conduct shuttle diplomacy between them.

This!
As @theresa_may tells @HouseofCommons it's 'highly likely' Moscow ordered the attack on former Russian spy in Salisbury & most MPs show support to HMG to take strong action against Russia together with West & EU...
Remember this from @Nigel_Farage?
theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
What's the common point between:
- Farage: theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
- Le Pen: ft.com/content/010eec…
- Germany's AfD: time.com/4955503/german…
- Holland's Geert Wilders: forbes.com/sites/melikkay…
- Italy's Lega Nord: ft.com/content/0d33d2…
- Hungary's Orban: thedailybeast.com/how-putins-usi…
European far-right parties & their populist leaders love the idea they are the real & only patriots. Usually great orators, they focus on negative emotions: fear, resentment, nostalgia of a time that never was. But ask them about their relationship with Russia and they go silent!
