We all know about the Presidents Club scandal and the moral outrage. I have some questions to ask.
What was a charity doing organising a rich man's stag party at the Dorchester Hotel which involved the deployment of young women as hostesses dressed in sexy clothes?
Why did the Dorchester Hotel allow such a party to be held on its premises?
Didn't any of these young ladies smell a rat when they were asked to wear sexy clothes, sign no-disclosure agreements and had their 'phones confiscated?
Did any of these ladies find it acceptable to be placed in a predicament where they would be groped by dirty old men? Did any of them volunteer for the job thinking that they would earn lots of money or further their careers?
The whole idea of escort agencies is rather seedy - were any of these ladies forced by traffickers or pimps to attend? Should there be a police investigation?
What are the share holders of the company directors who attended going to do about it?
What is the BBC going to do about it, if some of the people who appear on their shows also attended this stag night?
What are the constituents of any MP who attended going to do about it?
What will the wife of an attendee do about it?
Not every man who attended this seedy event is a dirty old man.
Probably, not every young woman who worked at the stag party is miss innocent. Some of these young women may feel it is their perfect right to ply their trade in any way they see fit; so who am I to judge.
In light of the Hollywood sexual allegations against film directors: one thing is certain; the men who organised and attended this stag party should have had the foresight to realise that it would be infiltrated. An undercover journalist posed as a hostess and was prepared to be groped to expose this silly night out.
The stag party attendees have been exposed as either dirty old men or mugs or both.
Are these men, whose judgement is so poor, fit to be leaders of industry and other organisations?

Royal Wedding
There has been speculation in the press about the guest list for the wedding between Prince Harry and Miss Markel. An author has claimed that the President of the US is putting pressure on the UK government to obtain an invite to the wedding in exchange for a trade deal after Brexit. Only a few people can know whether this is true or not and the author is probably not amongst them.
The days have gone when royal marriages were used to arrange or cement international alliances. It is clear that it is a love match between Miss Markle and Prince Harry, and that this marriage has not been arranged or pre-ordained.
I am not expecting an invite to the wedding and I shall not be sending a congratulatory telegram or waving a flag.
I support the notion, however, that Miss Markle and Prince Harry are entitled to ask whoever they like to their wedding. Their marriage should not be used as a matter of improving international relations.
Like it or not, the current President of the US is a divisive character and when he is invited to the UK there will be demonstrations against the visit; which I shall not be attending. The marriage of any couple should not be marred by a demonstration against the visit of a foreign president, however. Therefore, the President should not be invited if it against against the wishes of the couple.
If the couple do feel, without pressure, that they want to invite the President then the marriage should be conducted in a place where all the guests and the flag waving public can be protected from the fury of some protesters.
Harry and his future wife are entitled, of course, to change the arrangements to get married quietly in a registry office and in a country of their choice: the USA even. They will be just as happy if they do this and they will be able to invite whoever they want to the party afterwards.
Miss Markle probably feels that she is not marrying into a dysfunctional family but should she be made to feel that she is "marrying" into a dysfunctional country?
