2/ Presenting any group of outsiders in society as masked villains who go around stealing incubators and killing babies is shocking stuff
3/ Supporting the emotive video with an $ number about the 'poorest countries' which really relates mainly to places like S. Korea, Argentina, Malaysia, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, S Africa, China etc.. is misleading.https://www.cgdev.org/blog/oxfam-tax-evasion-shock-video-distressing-wrong-reasons …

5/ Now Oxfam’s Head of Comms gives the defence that there were no statistics in the video (the figure is misrepresented in the accompanying press release, so that’s alright then?!)https://twitter.com/m_sherrington/status/946490902406557696 …
Maya Forstater added,
6/ If Oxfam is going to play a part in the tax debates (and they should) it should take it seriously. We expect better of them. We (both the intended audience and the people they seek to help) deserve it.
7/7 More broadly….. this goes beyond Oxfam. Beyond this one issue. How can we build institutions and political debates that are not driven by the corrosive logic of the-facts-don’t-matter ?http://timharford.com/2017/10/fatal-attraction-of-fake-facts-sours-political-debate/ …
