I don't recall us Navy folk being offered such accommodation when they were landed in such places to help the locals? ;-) ......... Yeah but you probably had no choice. I never understand why some people think people who work for a big charity should have crap perks and work for nothing. . Coz its for CHARrity >:-) .......

John52 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think the premises they used is irrelevant compared to the wider issue of prostitutes leading to blackmail and corruption when dealing with such vast amounts of money. I can't help wondering how Oxfam persuaded politicians to give them so much taxpayer's money *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 RogerC - 2018-02-13 3:55 PM Re-quoting because you are avoiding the crux of your argument every time....and moving the goalposts. Just answer this if you can: If the company either rents the property or pays the individual to rent a property then it is clear that the individual 'does not own the property'. The main issue is 'does not own' which is what you said. You claim that: "What they do in their private life outside of work is their business, but ceases to be once they begin using facilities not owned by them" So when and where does the employee ever get to do anything that is 'their own business'. Quite a simple question really but I expect you will avoid answering because your premise is entirely bonkers......IMO. Outside of the work schedule/hours/shift......and if using services of prostitutes, use an Hotel, not your employers premises. I've stated this God knows how many times and i'm not sure why you can't understand such a simple basic common sense fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help wondering how Oxfam persuaded politicians to give them so much taxpayer's money *-) Look at it like this John. We rent premises for Ambassadors residences in whichever countries they are based. That's funded by you and me, the tax payer. If this story involved some UK Ambassador holding sex orgies or whatever in the residential premise, would you be ok with that....because you are paying for the building? In Oxfam's case the money is coming from public and corporate funds so it's understandable why big corporations such as Unilever, possibly Oxfams biggest single contributor, are far from impressed.

starvin marvin Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Firstly my understanding is that prostitution in Haiti in illegal. So taking part in these activities should also be illegal. Aid workers using their position to acquire sexual services in return for aid must be punished by the employer as a sackable offence. Aid workers should be putting food in the mouths of these people, not their dicks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying I should work for them for free? All their workers are well paid and because of that they do a good job. Pay peanuts you get monkeys. I dont think they hold any orgies though. Least none ive been invited to. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John52 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 People have different ideas about what is 'doing a good job' In charities it might be raising the most funds But there is only so much money to go round and if you give it to one you can't give it to another. So should charities be spending £millions on fundraising campaigns just to compete with each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
