Looks like it all went a bit wrong this year, and last year, and the year.........
Folding now as well.

That's not 'lad culture' it's fucking scumbag culture. Sick of these people who've got the slightest bit of money/power behind them & think it gives them free reign to act like complete & utter wankers. It's this kind of shit that leads to things like #MeToo, but it wunna affect these tossers, they'll just carry on as normal, it'll be the bloke on the street who gets arsed by it all.

don't worry those fine upstanding Etonians will continue with their godgiven right to be a fucking bellend. even people at the very top like Cameron struggled to deny that he had shagged a pigs head. shame that the movie the riot club wasn't satire

Really does make me wonder
You turn on your television and there it is the great ormond st hospital tear jerker pleading for cash
But apparently they now feel they can return half a million pounds
Over a matter of principle and joining the lastest feminist leftist crusade
What about the sick children

So the 130 women recruited to be hosts at the event were told to wear 'skimpy black clothing'...
I'm not saying it's right to go round groping these women but surely the time to object to wearing skimpy black clothing was before the event not after it.

The "dresses" were provided by the organisers at the event according to the journalist involved. I think they were led to believe that this was so the hostesses would have matching uniforms.
Women have the right to wear whatever they want without being groped.

I'm pretty sure he's said that. That is exactly what I said mate. And the women had a choice over what to wear. |

I'm off message on this one.
I'm appalled by the presidents club - because they didn't invite me, sounds like a fun evening.
It was a private event, and it shouldn't be a class or gender issue. Are we going to ban strippers at working mens clubs ?, or tell women to behave when they get the Chippendales to perform at their hen do's ?
This has happened where I live as the only lap dancing club in Chester, open for ten years without a single police incident, has been closed down for completely fabricated reasons that it was causing a nuisance to local residents.
We are rapidly heading back to the days of 17th century puritanism where a few pious individuals ensure that anything which is not to their taste is banned.

The choice was one standard outfit provided at the function a few hours before the function started so I suppose the only choice was to refuse to wear what was on offer and walk out. Then again I suppose there was no expectation of getting groped at an establishment such as the Dorchester. |

If this was the other way around and it was a women only event where they were groping and grabbing at attractive male hosts it wouldn't even make the fucking news.

No but let me know when that job comes up I'm in! and me im outraged that I didn't know this place existed till know reminds me of the simpsons episode with the burlesque house, they sing a song about how it keeps the spring in springfield and the 3 bully kids from the school start singing about they only just found out this place existed |

Listening to a report about this the other day , the young woman was a model , and was paid £170 + another 20 for travel costs . I'm sure they made good tips as well . What did she think she was getting paid that sort of money for just a couple of hours work for . The extra ducks as they are called are usually 50 + years old and are paid minimum wage .

The FT lady was asked to get there at 4 for an event that was starting at 8 with the formal evening going on until 12 then carrying on until 2 in the morning. Transport to and from the venue in central London for £20 doesn't seem extortionate.
Most models wouldn't go anywhere near that sort of job for so little pay. So Harry at what threshold of hourly pay would you expect extras from your staff?

At President’s Club there was scope
For wealthy old lechers to grope
The hostesses’ figures,
Short skirts and black knickers.
Their wives have good lawyers, we hope!

According to todays news the darts tournos are getting rid of the walk-on ladies. F1 considering doing the same for grid girls.
Welcome to the puritanical, bland, fun free future...

I'm at a loss to see how equating the role of a hostess (which is roughly the equivalent of a barmaid without a bar to stand behind), with a Chippendale or stripper. Exotic dancers male or female have a primary purpose of titillating their customers, a hostess is there to serve drinks and look good, they were not paid to be treated like prostitutes.
