Shut down the annual charity ball "Presidents Club Dinner" + trial offenders.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The event is a charity auction with such prizes like 'Dinner with Boris Johnson' or the head of bank of England. The problem with the event is that it is male only and all hostesses are required to wear 'skimpy black dresses with matching underwear' and is a completely unfathomable series of events.

The article above contains the information provided above, and includes several cases of sexual assault from the guests to the hostesses.

I feel it is only just to permeantly shut down the event and launch an investigation into the countless assaults on the hostesses, many of which are students and especially shouldn't be directly exposed to this level of villainy. I also feel they should receive compensation where due.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This event is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

It's up to the police and the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament, to deal with people who may have committed criminal offences.
