Ah yes, George, Decline and Fall. The opening chapter with the description of the Bollinger club dinner has the wonderful sentence:

"A shriller note could now be heard rising from Sir Alastair's rooms; any who have heard that sound will shrink at the recollection of it; it is the sound of English county families baying for broken glass."

On Cameron's (and Johnson's) Bullingdon days, there's this open letter to Cameron's parents by Nathaniel Tapley.
