Unexpectedly, the Oxfam Scandal Gets Worse

It isn’t just that they were paying for sex. Extortion seems to have been the order of the day. And rape. Oxfam scandal deepens with allegations of ‘sex for aid’ and abuse in charity shops 

In some of the most explosive allegations yet against the charity, Helen Evans accused the her bosses of ignoring her evidence and her pleas for more resources, forcing her to quit in despair.

Ms Evans said that staff had been accused of rape and that sexual abuse by shop managers in UK stores against young volunteers was covered up.

It isn’t a small issue, unless you think 10 percent of staff being sexually assaulted is “small.” (UK tax money supported this insanity, for reasons I haven’t seen spelled out.)

The UN Isn’t The Only Organization Screwing Haiti

It seems that Oxfam is also harboring a bunch of perverts. UK official warns Oxfam to hand over all info on sex case | Fox News

Oxfam has denied that it tried to cover up the use of prostitutes by some of its staff in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake there. Still, suggestions that it failed to give full details about the case to regulators and donors has touched off outrage in Britain.

So are all these feel-good programs making the world a better place, or just exploiting people who are poor and desperate? And why is the UK government giving tax money to a non-profit? Do they have so much extra in tax revenue? (Here I thought they were considering a tax increase to try and fix the problems with their health care system.)
