In a recent nomination of mine, it was suggested that I don’t like charities and I stated that Oxfam in particular was worthy of a cunting on its own right – so here it is.

Oxfam have always been totally out of touch with reality. I remember many years back in a former life being asked to test a new computer system which was designed to be rolled out in the African villages to keep track of project costs. I had an ideological problem with this. It goes along the lines of the old saying ‘give a man a fish and he’ll eat it but teach him how to fish and you’ll feed him for life’ or something like that.

This computer system was going to put local clerical workers employed by Oxfam out of work – which seemed to me to be going against the whole ethos of the organisation.

Then it got better. ‘I’m not happy with your rate’ says the Oxfam manager. ‘For every £1 and hour I can knock off it, I can feed a starving family in Africa for a week.’ ‘Tell you what’ says I, ‘I’ll match every £1 an hour you knock off your salary.’ Not only that, but how many people could they have fed for the cost of the computers?

This is the organisation whose former chief executive Dame Barbara Stocking saw her pay rise over three years, while revenues fell but donations increased. In a statement, Oxfam said Lady Stocking was due to paid £119,560 in 2012/13 – which means that her pay increased by 19 per cent from £100,008 in 2009/10 “which is in the lower quartile of what other large charities paid for their chief executives”. Isn’t that a bit like saying it’s OK to give a fat cat banker a whopping great bonus because all the banks do it?

And I wonder how many starving families in Africa she could have fed on that pay rise. After all, at the time she earned more than David Cameron.

I’m not anti-charities as such. If people want to give them money, then fine. Go ahead. But as far as I’m concerned, I’ve got better things to spend my money on than helping to fund political campaigns I don’t agree with and to piss up the wall on top heavy admin costs.

There are far too many charities and as far as I am concerned Oxfam should be the first to get the chop…

”Afghanistan: Foreign Office chaotic during Kabul evacuation – whistleblower”

It appears that the FO is incompetent.
Dominic Raab is useless.
And bears shit in the woods.

By and large the whole Whitehall Civil Service is incompetent. How could it not be when selection and advancement is based on who you know and snobbery? A huge salary and knighthood is the norm, regardless of competence, for those that creep their way to the top. The FO’s ineptness contributed to the Falklands invasion way back when. So no surpríses here.

However, consider this:-
We shipped in 16 000 Muslims for whom corruption is a way of life. Johnson considers this a great achievement. As do the hotel owners of the UK.
But the total number that could have come is said to be 75 000 but for the FO’s bungling. So for once give thanks for the useless, timeserving London cunts who presided over this shambles. And wanker Raab.
In the spirit of Christmas, — bless them, one and all.

So-called civic leaders have decided, seemingly without consultation ( well, not one that involved asking anybody else what they thought), that the city is to become a sanctuary for asylum seekers and refugees.

They point out that it is a unanimous and popular decision with only a very few people objecting and these apparently need to re-educate themselves.

They have taken in a small number of such people already and it has been, according to them, a resounding success and people in Gloucester look forward to hearing their inspirational tales and all about their fascinating homelands and cultures ( that they ran away from).

I am willing to bet a large sum of money that this is NOT the view of the vast majority of those living in Gloucester and I seriously hope they all withhold their fucking council tax. The comments page of a local newspaper confirmed my suspicions.

The last time I went to Gloucester I was struck by what a large number of homeless people there were, I can only imagine how encouraged they are by this news!
