Enjoy. An extract, emphases ours:
One of the staff, who the FT said were only selected for the job if they matched the criteria of being “tall, thin and pretty”, [J4MB: Disgraceful. No short, fat, ugly, one-legged lesbians with beards?] reported [J4MB translation: … invented a story about…] an attendee exposing his penis to her. The women were allegedly told to wear black underwear to match short, black, skirts they had been given for the evening.
It was claimed that they were paid £150 for a six-hour shift, plus £25 for a taxi home, not including any time they spent at an after-party at which one woman was [J4MB: ALLEGEDLY] told to “down that glass, rip off your knickers and dance on that table”. [J4MB: Hmm, that’s puzzling. Why would any of these sexually harassed women have later attended a party with lots of celebrities and rich men? It’s a mystery, all right.]

A mystery indeed…!
This posturing hypocrisy is risible, laughable and as entertaining as it is sad at one and the same time.
One is put in mind of those who say they ‘just want to be taken seriously as actresses’ whilst displaying their er, ‘persons’ the while.

Maria Miller’s faux-outrage draws attention to the other aspect of this story that is so ridiculous.
These young women were very well paid in order to look fabulous and generally to be gracious at at an all-male dinner.
I would argue that (1) this is not exactly ‘work’ in any meaningful sense of the word and (2) any woman choosing to accept this ‘hostess’ role ought not to be surprised if her good looks attract appreciation & flattery from some of the large cohort of rich & successful male diners.
What exactly is the hostess role? It it obviously a means of earning money for extroverted and confident young women, who also enjoy male company. The sort of women who accept hostess contracts are women who have previous experience of work in the entertainment business, such as aspiring actresses or similar.
Any woman who is both introverted and who dislikes male company would be best advised to find some other means of earning money. Like getting a proper job using her smart & clever brain.
It is fundamentally disingenuous for a couple of blue-stocking, lesbian, so-called ‘journalists’ to accept work as hostesses and then to complain that evening’s conversation was not sufficiently intellectual for their tastes.

Or a means by which gold digging whores can engage in what can be seen as risk free prostitution, with the added bonus of compensation for a false accusation of sexual assault.

Mr Gruff, I had – somewhat uncharacteristically – restrained my tongue. Mindful that I tend to sound off, I was trying to hold back.
However, you have described exactly what I was thinking with (almost) the exact words that I was thinking!

I’m still hoping a couple of them will be working at the conference, injecting a bit of much-needed glamour. The world has far too many hatchet-faced feminists and not nearly enough tall, slim, pretty women, in my view.

More laws eh?
“A spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said: “The independent Office for National Statistics is clear that overall, traditional crime is continuing to fall. “It is now down by almost 40% since 2010.”
Yet the Police stats released stats showing sharp increases in “reported” (to them) crime. The figures for “sex offences” being up by 23% to 135k. In the same year a lot of flimsy and wrong cases have come to light. Given that the actual number of cases going to court remains pretty constant at 6K, perhaps that means the reporting has risen with all the campaigns but the actual extent hasn’t, as the ONS says. And of course the other factor is that those campaigns to report have brought a lot of “historical” cases from the past 30 or 40 years. So even more likely that the ONS is right this sort of crime is falling in the here and now and the Politically driven campaign to increase arrests and convictions is driving “unsound” cases to courts.
More Laws is probably the last thing we need. Sorting Knife Crime might be a good idea.
