The first meeting of The London Grill Club at its new home at the Union Club was a great success with David and Caroline Criado-Perez both in highly combatative and entertaining form.
Caroline began gently quoting various books in answer to the question, “what made her finally stand up and be counted” and David was immediately picking her up on what he called vagaries. Responding to whether Nunn should have been given more than 18 weeks in prison, or indeed in view of the cost to the taxpayer should it have been a custodial sentence at all, she said sentencing was not a matter for her. She was not drawn despite David’s persistence on the question of the responsibility of social networking sites when their facilities were being used to abuse others.
Further questions included women only shortlists, particularly quotas for directors of plcs and why she did not think Jane Austen was the best woman to be on bank note. In answer to the final question she thought sports should be renamed as Men’s Cricket, Men’s Rugby etc.
