That’s what Conservative party candidate Jonty Campbell recently tweeted out—and was rightly condemned for it in the UK. This kind of outright creepy rhetoric comes on the heels of a string of sexual scandals within the party. One MP was recently found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy—while another has been arrested on suspicion of rape.

It’s party time! Splainer and our partner, the independent bookstore Champaca, are throwing a joint birthday bash this Saturday in Bangalore. The Knowhere bar is one of our favourite places in the city—with a lovely vibe. Come raise a drink and meet the team and some excellent folks. We’d love to see you there. Since spaces are limited, please sign up over here. It also helps give us a ballpark head count.

Time/ Date: Saturday, May 28 at 4:30 pm

Venue: Knowhere, 15, Favourite Plaza, Dodda Banaswadi Main Rd, Cooke Town. See the Google Map here.
