Oxfam?

I don't think this is what they had in mind when they said, "Go and spread the love"?

I'm sure this came up a week or two back. Infidel, I think it was, claimed they were as corrupt as hell and lived in great mansions like lords while raking it in from the public. I can't remember the thread but looks like Infidel was right again...

Re: Oxfam?

I have been slated on here for telling people not to give any money to these charities.

The Oxfam scandal tells you all you need to know about the sort of people who work for the charity sector.

Haiti was smashed to pieces by that earthquake yet Oxfam still found a luxury villa for their country manager which he used for Caligula like sex parties, where he and his colleagues raped local Haitian children (sex with an underage prostitute isn't prostitution, it's child rape).

And surprise, surprise Oxfam knew he was at it because he had done it before (in Chad), but they still appointed him, and when the heat got too much they allowed him to have a 'phased and dignified' departure. How nice of them.

The rest were allowed to resign - and then went on to get jobs at other charities.

It was all done quietly and covered up because Oxfam saw it principally as a PR issue, damage limitation.

And that's how you know they don't give a stuff about the poor. What person in their right mind allows a child rapist to move on to another job without informing the new employed of his record?

I had always thought charity money was only stolen, wasted and spent on weapons. Now it seems it's used to rape children as well. Shame on you if you are still giving money to these despicable people.

Re: Oxfam?

What amazed me the most about this scandal was that Oxfam got 30 million from the government / taxpayer always thought charity was a choice

"The Oxfam scandal tells you all you need to know about the sort of people who work for the charity sector."

No, it doesn't. It tells you that Oxfam employed some wrong uns. Just as you'd find in any other major company and organisation.

Well, according to the Independent, it does?

Re: Oxfam?

What kind of psychological condition involves getting wound up by something like this?

Something to do with OHPs, I believe?

It seems like a further overflow of the quasi-puritanical mood sweeping across Western countries. In a way, I thoroughly welcome increased examination of the whole aid 'industry', because it's been misrepresented for too long. But that examination should be constructive, and not just another excuse to have a pop at things that don't fit with personal world views.

Bet there are thousands of overhead projectors still gathering dust in some mouldy old janitor's offices or photocopying rooms out there. THOUSANDS - makes the blood BOIL.

Re: Oxfam?

This doesn't tell you about the whole industry, the fact that many charities occupy expensive office space in central London, send their workers abroad on jaunts in business class and have evolved increasingly into the UK equivalent of Super PACs for the Labour party, does.

I used to hand over money to charities wherever I saw them collecting it, having got a closer look at how they work though, I'm much more selective now.

I wonder if that Arsenal fella calls them Oxfamfam?

We won't find out, they won't exist shortly.

Re: Oxfam?

"The value of London’s cash giving is an estimated £5.6 billion per year from all private sources."

That's a lot of plush offices and brasses - how would the world's oldest profession survive without Oxfam?

Nah.

Just feeling the smugness that comes with winding inadequate wankers like Zero up when I send 15 quid a month to Amnesty International.

Re: Oxfam?

If they were using the funds that were meant to go to charity that is wrong and the issue must be dealt with, but paying for some slap n tickle with ones own money with consenting adults I do not see as Evil.

When I think of Charity I do not see nuns and vicars I see ordinary folk who wish to do good works, although sadly there is good money to be made in Charity, especially the shops.
