The air of mystery and fascination that surrounds this place wouldn't be complete without a couple of scandals. Of course, throughout the years they have all been hushed up and put away since most of the country's leaders and richest businessmen are members. It is rumored that back during World War II, the Cambridge Spy Ring took its roots inside the Clubhouse. Naughty, naughty boys. Much later, David Cameron publicly renounced his membership in 2008. Never had a member disaffiliated. The only way to terminate a membership was either naturally (death) or being ejected (very rare). The former PM publicly announced that he did not want to take part in something so outdated that rejected women. Little fact: his father used to be the chairman of the White's. Wouldn't want to be at that dinner table when this came out! DRAMA!
