Who on earth would want Amazon vouchers? Amazon are depriving us of tax revenues which could be used for the NHS or education. When they pay up I might support them again

I have stopped using Amazon. Not only do they not pay taxes but I noticed just before Christmas that all my orders were being routed through Luxembourg and Amazon EU and I was being charged £8.99 for standard postage and packing.

This hasn't caused me any hassle. There are plenty of other suppliers. I have without difficulty bought a DVD set costing £40.00 plus P&P on Amazon for £27.99 including P&P on ebay and a book I wanted online from Waterstones.

I don't have a problem with Amazon tokens. My family know I love books and CDs and it's convenient for them to use. We've had this discussion before. I won't stop using Amazon.
