Yeah so basically all Amazon warehouse employees are on 2 quid an hour 12 hour shifts with no breaks because you cunts keep stubbing your toe. 

 

That's a totally different discussion though, and it really isn't down to people who use the Amazon services.

Just to add to the above. We all use services from companies that pay their workers under the going rate or a shit wage. The vast majority of people have items of clothing, household items, mobiles, cars which have been made, assembled or have parts made in Asian countries where the workers are shat on. Eat food imported from Asian or South American countries which is imported dirt cheap and sold on to make vast profits. The list is endless. The problem is not down to the consumer but those who pay the wages, and those in various Govt's who let them get away with it.

I use someone else’s Amazon Prime so I’m not even contributing to the £2 p/h. Fuck the matrix.

What a load of old bollocks.  You can’t pontificate about greed and capitalism and then use perhaps the worst example whilst excusing yourself of any responsibility.  You partake and contribute.  

 

John Lewis used to be the best.  Me and wife had a floor steamer that broke and took it back. They replaced it no problem. Turns out we hadn’t bought it there in the first place.  No wonder they are in trouble.

What we have now is not capitaliasm,its croneyism and cabals denying the true competition that true capitalism is about. Its why Amazon and the like cannot be truly challenged as they aren't as restricted as any competition. The game is rigged.

You must agree that using the service is being complicit.

Had Scottish Power and Eon as our energy providers for years and while neither were terrible they weren't good either. Switched to Bulb and they are excellent , much cheaper and good customer service.

We were going to go with Bulb but found Tonik were cheaper. I've been quite pleased with Tonik so far.

Cool, just got signed up to them. That's very reassuring to hear, I did sign up to Extra Energy at one point at Money Saving Expert's recommendation, which was an absolute disaster. Too many tales of woe, and it still carries on- https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/oct/13/extra-energy-administration-phantom-debts

I was reading an article yesterday about Hull having the fastest internet connection in the UK after announcing it has City-wide full fibre broadband coverage. The company behind it all is KCOM, a friend of mine works for them and she said they are brilliant. Just goes to show what is possible and how many people are being ripped off and receive shitty customer service to boot. Ironically the Item i was reading was on Sky News. 

Given most of them live underground and only venture out once the light is sufficiently weak not to hurt their eyes, it was probably easier to wire in.

I’m meeting their CEO this week, I shall let him know.

Using Amazon is complicit to supporting this phoney version of capitalism? Not at all. If they had to compete on the same playing field as anybody else,pay their taxes and pay and treat workers as they should then yes. I imagine you take tea and dinner breaks at work,use the nhs and so on so you are now a rampant socialist?
