1. Dear God, what a sexist pig too
I feel like Dominique Strauss-Kahn," says Sir William Dugdale as he poses for his photograph in his bedroom at the Ritz Hotel. His eyes settle on the print on the wall, Velázquez's nude Rokeby Venus, lying on a divan gazing at herself in the mirror.

"Rather nice," he says. "Well-upholstered back end." This is David Cameron's uncle by marriage. At 89, his admiration for women is undiminished. His wife, Cylla Mount, the sister of David Cameron's mother Mary, perches politely on the end of the bed.

He has always flown the flag as the adventurer of the family. His autobiography Settling the Bill, which has just been privately published, lays bare his antics with Oxford's Bullingdon Club, his success with Italian women during the war, his love of horses, fast cars and aeroplanes, his time as chairman of Aston Villa football club and the Severn Trent water company and his service as a leading Tory on Warwickshire County Council. Tonight he is throwing a party at a gallery in Dover Street to mark the publication. The Camerons are invited but have yet to confirm.
...
Unlike his nephew, Dugdale is untouched by political correctness. At one point in our conversation he leans towards me and says, "You're a pretty girl, it's not hard for you to attract attention. Some girls look like the back ends of buses." His wife, still perched on the bed, smiles tolerantly.
