  • I once attended a talk by AC organised by a women's group at my old employer. It was supposed to be on his thoughts on women in the workplace. I guess he was available.

    It included him claiming to have been asked by a TV production company to travel in blackface across the Southern US and document what happened.

    Unfortunately I didn't get to ask my question, which also wasn't about women in the workplace.

    However, it was memorable for Bob Diamond (remember him?) introducing him as 'from Penthouse* letters writer to PM's spin doctor' and then immediately walking out of the room to do something more important, probably to do with LIBOR or Qatar.

    This then left AC to start by telling everyone remaining how annoyed he was by this.

    This sounds like a strange dream (or Succession episode) now.

  • Unfortunately I wasn't in NYC for the panel discussion featuring BD alongside Henry Kissinger* which would have topped that - I think I swerved away from doing some events graphics for it.
