Blogger’s Note:Bourgeoise charities are tax exempt business that are designed to perpetually generate profit out of the injustices guaranteed by the predatory capitalist system. The fallacy implied through its Judeo-Christian roots is that those who work for these charities are somehow “doing good”. They are not “doing good” – they are “doing well” – quite literally t the expense of others. Oxfam, like all bourgeois Charities – is a joke. Its idea of neutrality is to openly support any cause the US and UK governments demand. A threat to that neutrality is Oxfam daring to support a cause not sanctioned by Washington or London. Meanwhile, Oxfam’s supposed “neutrality” is currently supporting Neo-Nazi Ukraine, the Hong Kong Rioters, and Zionist Israel. The point is to perpetuate the very injustice the capitalist system creates – whilst occasionally “relieving” the most severe aspects of that cause. What is forbidden is the complete solving or removing of the money-generating cause. After-all, there are mortgages to pay – and three-weeks on the Costa del Sol will not pay for itself. Of course, Begam’s crime was to openly support Gaza in the light of the genocide being committed by the Israeli State – as confirmed by the ICJ and ICC. Israel is currently led by an individual who is wanted for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. Of course, Begam should have known better than to have taken the Oxfam job – as its employees had been caught sexually abusing children in Haiti and the Congo in recent years. Given this is the case – why is Oxfam still in existence and allowed to trade? ACW (15.12.2025)

Oxfam chief forced to step down over ‘serious issues’ with conduct, charity says

Joe Pike Politics investigations correspondent – 15.12.2025

The chief executive of Oxfam GB has been forced out by the charity’s board after an independent review found “serious issues” with her behaviour and decision making.

The organisation’s trustees decided Dr Halima Begum’s position was “untenable” because of an “irretrievable breakdown in its trust and confidence” in her ability to do the job.

About 70 members of staff had signed a letter calling for Oxfam to investigate Dr Begum’s conduct, with several employees said to have resigned after falling out with her, the Times reported.

Dr Begum had been in the role for almost two years. The BBC has contacted her for comment.

In a statement, Oxfam confirmed the review was commissioned by its board of trustees to examine “concerns raised about the leadership, conduct and approach” of Dr Begum.

It said the review was carried out by legal firm Howlett Brown between November and December 2025.

The investigation drew on testimony from 32 current and former Oxfam colleagues, as well as documentary evidence, the charity said.

Findings showed “serious issues in the CEO’s leadership behaviour and her decision making, including breaches of organisational processes and values, and inappropriate interference into safeguarding and integrity investigations”, it added.

The decision to discharge Dr Begum from her role was passed last week and she has already left the organisation, Oxfam said.

The role of acting chief executive will be taken up by Jan Oldfield, Oxfam’s chief supporter officer for more than four years, it added.

Acting co-chairs of Oxfam GB, Nana Afadzinu and Dame Annie Hudson, said their priority going forward was to provide “stability” for staff and “rebuild confidence” across the organisation”.

“The Board has taken immediate steps to strengthen oversight and reinforce organisational processes, and work is already underwayto address the recommendations in the report,” they added.

Dr Begum’s departure comes after a difficult year for Oxfam.

Earlier this month, financial figures released by the charity showed profits from its shops had dropped by two thirds over the past three years.

The Oxford-based charity also made 250 of its 2,100 UK staff redundant earlier this year to save £10.2m from its wage bill.

At the time, Dr Begum said the decline was due to the charity’s work taking place “against a backdrop of deep uncertainty, rising inflation and a cost-of-living crisis”.
