A damning look at the university clique-turned-Commons majority that will blow the doors of Westminster wide open and change the way you look at our democracy forever.
Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, David Cameron, George Osborne, Theresa May, Dominic Cummings, Jacob Rees-Mogg: Whitehall is swarming with old Oxonians. They debated each other in tutorials, ran against each other in student elections, and attended the same balls and black tie dinners. They aren’t just colleagues—they are peers, rivals, friends. And, when they walked out of the world of student debates onto the national stage, they brought their university politics with them. Eleven of the fifteen postwar British prime ministers went to Oxford. In Chums, Simon Kuper traces how the rarefied and privileged atmosphere of this narrowest of talent pools—and the friendships and worldviews it created—shaped modern Britain.
“A searing onslaught on the smirking Oxford insinuation that politics is all just a game. It isn’t. It matters”—MATTHEW PARRIS

Kind of reminiscent of how Yale “Skull & Bones” took over the U.S. government - particularly the State Department - in the early & mid 20th Century. George W. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, was working for the Nazis starting in the 1920s and continuing even during the first year of WW II. He had 4 companies that were confiscated by the U.S. government in October 1942 (as Americans were heading to land in North Africa against Rommel’s tanks, made in part from Bush’s Silesian Steel) under the “Trading With The Enemy Act.” He had German Nazis on the boards of directors of these companies as well as Bunny Harriman and the Brown Brothers (bankers from NY who acted as a beard for German/Nazi Fritz Theissen, banker & industrialist. Theissen’s autobiography was entitled “I Paid Hitler.” He was supplying steel & other war materiel to Hitler. Prescott was investigated briefly by the Senate after the war as a Nazi sympathizer, but his Skull & Bones people at State & in the Senate quashed that and next thing you know, Prescott Bush was, himself, a Senator & the Bush political dynasty was born. George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush were Skull & Bones, as was, amazingly, John Kerry. Skull & Bones insures its members’ profits overrides patriotism.

The Soviets also massively supplied national socialist Germany. And they didn’t investigate themselves post-war either.
All very interesting, but little to do w the actual book, chum.

Since all these people hail from well established families of celebrated ancestry, maybe the book should have been called ‘Pedigree Chums’.

Or maybe just “Pedigree Chum”, AKA, fermented fish guts!

Pedigree Chumps? The cream of society - rich & thick.
