    Default Inglish langwich

    The CEO of OXFAM Dhahnanjayan Sriskandarajah (DS) in the new 92 page booklet of how to address people has apologised for using the English Language throughout the publication as it is a language of colonisation. In the booklet Mr DS states that people should not be called mother or father, so what will the Russians now call the Motherland and the Germans call Fatherland, and there will be no more jokes about the Mother Superior. Now Mr DS's name may give a clue why he is against the use of the English language, but no doubt I could go to jail for saying so. Mr DS is on over £100,000 per annum as are 11 other directors, 93 staff are on over £60,000 p.a. all plus expenses and pension contributions, however Mr Ds does not have a company car, why would you need one when your taxi's are paid for.

    Apparently he doesn't like the word 'Mother' because it represents slavery to a Mother Country, he should remember that without the mother country there would be no tea plantations in Sri Lanka or Bangladesh so their exports would be greatly reduced. Ceylon (SL) had no tea plantations until the British merchant adventurers smuggled plants in from China a crime punishable by death at that time

    Guess they won't need my contributions or surplus clothes anymore having been earned and/or worn by a colonial.

    so I wonder why does he call himself Danny, surely that's about as English as it gets.

    Hi Ivan
    When we were building a big prison in Sydney back in the 70s we used to fine companies who didn't comply with the rules governing sub contractors.
    We amassed $20,000, and were deciding which charity to give it to. This young girl came to us and she was collecting for some cause, then she said the amount you have will put me as the winner, she was going to get an overseas trip. she was out,
    When we checked around found that most so called Charities had some sort of gimmick or that the heads were getting massive salaries, we ended up calling into the local Hospital who said they couldn't take the money, but would give us a list of things they needed that the Govt didn't supply, so that's what we did with the money.
    The only two charities give to is the Children's Hospital and the Heart foundation, hoping it will at least be put to a good cause.

    Danny, could this be a remake of Danny Lerue?

    Sounds as if he is now head of the WOKE brigade.
    But then again we have kids with either two mothers, whoops, gestational parents or two non gestational parents, once known as dads.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    If you called him Danny boy, would that be racist? or colonialist?
