Rich men behaving badly. Very badly. From the UK Financial Times:

Financial Times reporters go undercover to report on a high-society event that includes groping your hostess:

It is for men only. A black tie evening, Thursday’s event was attended by 360 figures from British business, politics and finance and the entertainment included 130 specially hired hostesses...

The event has been a mainstay of London’s social calendar for 33 years, yet the activities have remained largely unreported — unusual, perhaps, for a fundraiser of its scale...

The Financial Times last week sent two people undercover to work as hostesses on the night. Reporters also gained access to the dining hall and surrounding bars.

Over the course of six hours, many of the hostesses were subjected to groping, lewd comments and repeated requests to join diners in bedrooms elsewhere in the Dorchester.

2. I found another article about it:

Unfortunately it's in the Daily Mail, but oh well.

One unnamed man reportedly grabbed a hostess by the waist and said: ‘You look far too sober. I want you to down that glass, rip off your knickers and dance on the table.’

The hostesses were recruited by the Artista agency, which reportedly said all hostesses had to be ‘tall, thin and pretty’, and told successful applicants not to bring their boyfriends or girlfriends to the event.
During the interviews, founder Caroline Dandridge allegedly told an undercover Financial Times reporter: ‘It’s a Marmite job. Some girls love it and for other girls it’s the worst job in the world and they will never do it again.
‘You just have to put up with the annoying men and if you can do that it’s fine.’

6. Personally, Im not a fan of Daily Mail.

They always seem like they care more about getting people angry than reporting news. I have no doubt that this could be true, though.

7. I only linked to DM because the FT article is behind a pay wall

It was the Financial Times that did the investigation
