Thread Name: BS: Charities and Oxfam
Subject: RE: BS: Charities and Oxfam
"Only a sicko like shaw and his tame acolytes would try to make political capital out of the very public, localised failure of a charity."

The whole tenor of my postings here has been to defend the charity and to oppose tabloid and Tory attacks on it. The political capital is being made from the Daily Mail, your main source of information, and a couple of Tory right-wingers whipping up anti-charity sentiment.

"By the way shaw public schools have charitable status. Are you so busy point scoring about brexit that you forgot that you regularly criticise their status?"

Nope. But most people here would think it distinctly odd if I suddenly brought it up in a thread about Oxfam. On the other hand, what has happened in the brexit debate with regard to leavers fuelling xenophobia is relevant to the anti-foreign aid sentiment that's being whipped up by the Mail and the International Development Department. Start a thread on public schools and I'll go to town on you, worry ye not.
