we'll write to you for the rest of your life asking for more. No matter how much you give, we'll never stop"

Nah
I can't be bothered being self-rightious now. True - Oxfam do post a bit too much but you can always phone HQ and ask them to stop.

CEO earns £76k a year
Without bonus, dividends etc.
For a £100million company that is small fry. Do not criticise Oxfam. Were it not for them South Africa would still pay 8 times the selling price for anti AIDS drugs, Etheopian farmers would recieve even less for their coffee, the Sudanese would have no water etc. £76k is nothing.
DO NOT CRITICISE OXFAM AND GET YOUR FACTS CORRECT (Or start reading the Daily Mail and harping on about asylum seekers)

Hmmmm
I'm not sure whether selective censorship of expression of views is something to be too keen to promote.

Especially on this site.

The majority of ads posted could come under fire.
