Episode Details

The City of London Corporation is considering banning individuals involved in a WhatsApp scandal, including a sitting councillor, from its events. The Guild of Young Freemen, which connects young professionals to City traditions, launched an investigation after misogynistic, racist, and ableist messages were shared in their groups. The councillor, Doctor Fraser Peck, resigned from the guild and was implicated in the scandal. Alderwoman Martha Grekos criticized the Corporation for keeping discussions private and argued that the groups are closely linked to the guild, which uses City spaces for events. The Corporation plans to decide soon on mirroring the guilds exclusions, as they work through their processes.
