I’m just beginning to catch up on the recent Radio 4 series – Club Class. The first of the latest series featured the Skulls and Bones – a secret society which invites just 15 new members a year, yet has both George W Bush and John Kerry as members. The really interesting thing about this is that none of them will talk about. The programme couldn’t get any of the organisation’s members to talk about it. But plenty of members have reached high office in the States, and there are only around 800 members alive in total.
I know that this is the stuff of conspiracy theorists, but if there wasn’t a story there, then either Bush or Kerry should just say that it was all a bad idea and a silly student organisation that they joined.
