When in the last 30 years have we had empty shelves?


The very obvious answer is every Christmas eve afternoon down the turkey aisle.

Another Brexit bonus…

Amazon will not be accepting Visa Credit Cards issued in the UK for payments from 19th January 2022.

I thought everything was going to be better when we left the EU?

I'd imagine it's a case that Amazon are trying to bully Visa into dropping the level of charges for these cards. Not sure if it is particularly related to Brexit, unless the EU has some sort of legislation keeping the charges down within their trading bloc.

Card charges are weird - all over the place depending on brand and type of card (personal or corporate) and they have a whole range of subcharges and fees which are difficult to decipher. I can't say I remember Visa being any more expensive than Mastercard last time we checked, however.

The EU limits transaction fees to 0.3% of the purchase cost. Since we left the EU the credit card companies have all used the opportunity to increase fees five-fold to 1.5%. Amazon seem to have targeted Visa as they have had disagreements in Asia & Australia with them & realistically Amazon can’t target all the credit card providers at the same time.

Ah, no surprise then. As mentioned, they have all sorts of other surcharges in place which I imagine is to get around the EU legislation to some degree, but a 5-fold increase in this one area isn't going to be accepted by the likes of Amazon. I'd imagine there will be some brinkmanship and an agreement will be made.

But, yeah, chalk another one up for Brexit.

Please don’t tell the Brexiteers that the increase in refugees crossing the channel in dinghies is down to Brexit too.

State of the desperately sad still remoaners….. visa and Amazon have confirmed nothing to do with Brexit!

Are your lives that sad you have to constantly trawl for news headlines in the hope of a negative link to Brexit?  Can you at least understand how pathetic you sound?

Do us all a favour and search for Royal Dutch Shell… now that will really trigger you 😂

You might also want to have a read of this:

https://industryeurope.com/sec.....19-thanks-to-rebate/

That might shed some light on why they're keen to move their tax residency to the UK...

Interesting no mentions of the court case that Shell lost in the Netherlands about reducing its carbon emissions massively by 2030.
Of course that has got nothing to do with this at all.
