tbh i bet all the people who are or have been invited have been approached by friends or colleagues and know full well what they're going to before they set foot in the place and therefore the people who might have blown the whistle have been excluded from the off.
Keeping the money validates the event and just gives them an excuse to keep holding it. If no one will touch their money they have no excuse to hold their charity auction.
They'll just go to strip clubs or whatever, but at least they can't pretend to be some great philanthropist, while doing it.
Then just don't take it in future. They're talking about returning past donations which is fucking stupid.
Can't argue with that.
judging by the indie story and the ft one the event seems to take place the same day each year. i wonder what the chances are of having a picket of it next year?
Exactly what I was thinking
I might pop along (wearing a little black dress)
i thought red was more your colour. the hotel will have cctv, but given their hosting of a range of other unpleasant events (hunt balls leap to mind) i think they'll be keeping any footage close to their chests unless some sort of legal application's made for it.
I don't mean just being there I mean being direclly accused of doing something inappropriate, like trying to stick his hand up someone's skirt or making an inappropriate offer to one of the hostesses, From the description in the article he seems to be too young to be the one displaying his dick. There were 360 men there, I doubt all of them behaved as badly as some of them obviously did. I'm wondering now that it is in the open if one of these girls will come forward to level specific accusations such as I m the girl that Sir Cuntface chairman of Robbing Bastards PLC offered money to dance on the table without my knickers and I think Lady Cuntface should know that her husband is propositioning girls the same age as his own daughter.
it doesn't particularly matter whether he was fucking the queen of sheba over a table - he was at the very least invited to attend and had paid for a ticket. he was complicit in everything that occurred unless - and i doubt this was the case - he has been spending the morning with his lawyer giving a statement regarding what seems to have been a conspiracy to sexually assault.
good point well made
The full guest list should be available, in other words.
I haven't mixed in those circles for about twenty years, and, since leaving the UK, have had no direct or indirect contact with them. Anyone making innapropriate comments or otherwise sexist comments I always challenge. I'm not sure what else I can do.
Doug Richards who was also one of the 'dragons' (yuck) was charged with raping a 13 year old. Found not guilty because he 'thought she was 17', but the details he did admit to were gruesome. Usual apols for the source:
The thing I find most chilling is the policing of the women - them being nudged to interact if they weren't doing it enough, pulled out of the loos if they'd been in there too long (and some of them will have had a period to deal with), removal of their mobiles and advice to lie to their boyfriends.
