Charity Begins At Home
After reading The Herald's coverage of the Oxfam report into inequality I came across this post on Twitter by the journalist Ian Birrell.
Seems like charity really does begin at home, if what Ian Birrell says about the big salaries paid to Oxfam executives is true.
Oxfam gives its US boss a pay package worth more than half a million dollars.
At least 13 more senior staffers in US alone are on hefty six figure salaries.
Then these hypocrites raise more cash & profile by campaigning about inequality.
Welcome to the poverty industry

THE gulf between the haves and have nots in Scotland is deepening amid claims that the nation’s wealth inequality crisis is now out of control.
A new report from Oxfam reveals that in Scotland, the richest one per cent has more wealth than the bottom 50 per cent combined.
Across the globe, 82 per cent of wealth generated last year across the world went in the pockets of the richest one per cent of the global population, with a new billionaire created every two days.
