The Presidents Club Fiasco And The #MeToo Movement
Ewan Jones talks to Jordan Holbrook about the Presidents Club fiasco. The 'Presidents Club Trust' is a British charity known for an annual dinner that has raised over £20 million for other charities. This event was held between 1985 and 2018 and was for male guests only. Following allegations of sexual misconduct by male guests against the female hostesses at the 2018 dinner, the charity has now been disbanded. Jordan argues these allegations were extremely dubious. He goes onto assert there was some immoral behaviour by both the men and women at this event, but this has always been an issue in spaces where rich men meet young good looking women. We discuss the lack of honesty in the media's discussion of allegations made at the Presidents Club 2018 dinner, and how this echoes the lack of honesty in the wider #MeToo movement.
