Default Oxfam Charity Beyond Parody "local" may be offensive

BBC News text :
[Oxfam has come under fire after issuing
a new 92-page guide on inclusive language
to its staff, the Mail reports.
The paper says the guide describes the word
"headquarters" as "colonial",
suggests "local" may be
offensive and says the phrase
"people who become pregnant"
should be used instead of "expectant mothers".
It quotes former justice secretary Robert Buckland
calling the guide "totally bizarre" and
questioning whether it
is a good use of the charity's time and resources.]
