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.]

I would never give a penny to this scandal hit lot

[user104658]

Might be better to spend their time and resources on making sure their representatives aren't exploiting women in disaster-struck countries by paying them to attend their probably-cocaine-fueled orgies.

Sorry, sorry, "fairly paying legitimate sex workers".

who in their right mind would give to oxfam, they have such a terrible track record

It's like they're all trying to outdo each other - who can be even more barmy.

What will they ban next, or say is offensive?

I guess it helps deflect from their actual misdeeds...look at us we are so inclusive..meanwhile....in the real world

A vile organisation run by cretins and hand-wringing virtue signallers with coloured hair

You should apologise, you forgot to say you also meant "vagina-havers"

They have an alarming history (multiple incidents) of their staff going to deprived/disaster-ridden parts of the world and then sourcing & paying women for sex at big ol' Oxfam Orgies.

You'd think this was an exaggeration but unfortunately it's not, and it was seemingly covered up at a company-level for years.

True.

[Mystic Mock]

Nobody will use clinical terms to describe their parents.

To clarify I'm gonna guess that Oxfam wants the term "birthing parent" to be used?

[Gusto Brunt]

I laughed at a presenter on GB News.

He was saying we can't say blackmail because black is offensive and bad. But he says if your bank balance is in the black, that's good.

Madness.

[Zizu]

Soooo … tomorrow is now to be known as ..

Parent identifying as female who got pregnant a while back … day

Crying about someone simply saying parent instead of being specific is just ragebait for GC morons looking for reasons to be mad.

That is a fair point about School letters.

Aw bless, your brain has been so rotted by all this **** that you lack common sense and can't distinguish between a common and old example of 'Parent of Guardian' and how it renders this fake outrage pointless and me saying that Oxfam is a school. It's a shame how your generation is being rendered completely and utterly impotent by such easy-to-see-through bull****.

Why don't you go relax by watching a youtube video that you'll use as the basis of your outlook and opinions because you have none of your own.
