Sexual harassment.

[Workingman]

It is in the news. It is always in the news. It is never out of the news. Some of the accusations have been very serious, some of them less so, but the latest takes the biscuit.

At a men-only dinner for businessmen and the rich and famous, organised by the President's Club, the hostesses were asked to sign a five page non-disclosure contract and were told to wear skimpy black dresses and undewear. Once the dinner was under way some of them were groped, and I do mean groped - hands up skirts and on bums and thighs - you get the picture.

Now, if it was me, I would publish a list of all the attendee diners. Unfortunately that would implicate quite a few innocents. So the alternative is to name and shame those who took part in organising the dinner, all of them; and if any of the groped hostesses can positively identify any of the perpetrators then they should be named as well. If any allegations are proved to be true then prosecutions should follow.

This has to stop.

It is pretty vile

It was absolutely disgraceful, almost pre-meditated, and there has already been fall-out from it, not least, I understand, that the event won't take place in future.

I'm another who hopes the Financial Times undercover "waitresses" can name and shame a few of the men involved in the harassment.
