David Cameron wouldn't know what neo-classicl culture was if it kicked him
between the eyes. A product of Eton and Oxford with a supposed first-class
degree, Cameron didn't even know what Magna Carta meant when asked at a

(The foremost legal document in the whole history of England, the Magna
Carta, or the Magna Carta Libertatum [the Great Charter of the Liberties of
England], it was signed at the point of a sword by King John in 1215. It is
still on the statute book, so fundamental it is to the freedom of the
individual in England.)
