Seems that Amazon may no longer allow its customers to use Visa Credit Cards when paying for items from its site. The reason Amazon gives is because of “the continued high cost of payments in terms of fees charged.”

This will take effect from 19th January 2022.(This only affect Visa Credit Cards and not Visa Debit Cards or Mastercard etc.)

The problem involves Visa increasing its fees, and therefore Amazon retaliated by slapping an additional 0.5% surcharge on all Visa Credit Card purchases in Singapore and Australia (with more countries to follow).

Inevitably, the loser is the Amazon customer in both countries, stung with the Visa fee increase, and the Amazon surcharge on top.

However, more closer to home Visa slapped an additional 1.5% fee on cross-border payments between the UK and the EU purely because of some EU loophole that suggests there is no longer a cap on fees for countries who are no longer a member state.

Therefore, Visa, can run roughshod with British consumers when they use their credit cards, and not just for Amazon purchases.

That said Amazon does have a close affinity with rival company, Mastercard. Amazon’s own credit cards are underwritten by Mastercard, and by pushing Visa out of the frame it means Amazon/Mastercard has a nice monopoly going on that the Office of Fair Trading (or whatever the fuck they’re called these days) need to take a look at.

Whatever happens, the customer will probably end up being shafted one way or the other. Amazon is worth £1.7tn, Visa $400bn and Mastercard $320bn as of 2021. It would be interesting to know how much corporation tax these cunts pay to the UK Treasury?

So not only can the UK public look forward to a whole raft of price/tax increases next year, this will just add to the misery index forced upon the Little People, while the rich cunts laugh all the way to the bank!

Anyway, if you have a Visa Credit Card linked to your Assizon account be aware that it may no longer be valid come 19th January.

Hershel Fink anti-Semitism row

What’s the problem? He is a billionaire controlling CEO of some big corporation. Lots of Jews in that position. We all know the Jews like to control things.

I cant see the problem.

Anyway if they change the character’s name I suppose Shylock will have to be changed. Shylow maybe.

Say they changed the name to George.McDonald of somdthing couldn’t that be constued as being anti WASP?. But its ok to be anti WASP.

What about changing it to Iqbal Patel. Certainly now there are very rich Indian tycoons. But would that be allowed?

Just thought-what I am doing is sticking up for stereotypes. They are stereotypes for a reason. They are typical of a class or race.

A lot of humour indeed serious creativity rely on stereotypes. It’s shorthand. But sometimes you need shorthand.

What comes to mind? Say ‘The Man Who Would Be King’. Two adventurous colonial soldiers in India. Freemasons. Proud to be British. ‘Billy Fish’ a great character. Full of admiration for them. Admiring of the the ‘British way’.

Stop there! Billy Fish would be a stereotype of the subservient Indian. There’s a similar character in A Passage To India.

If those two films were being made now….well I don’t know how they could be made. There would have to have a disclaimer; something like (TMWWBK) ‘this motion picture contains stereotypes of subservient Indians. Please be aware.’

But more deeply. We need universally recognised ‘characters’. Or ‘types’. Or its just like creating the wheel every time you do a play.

All this putting black people in ads. People don’t believe it because it is not typical. You could almost say it is not stereotypical.

We are losing all humour because we cannot talk about types anymore. Because somebody will be offended.

(Usual hard-up poverty story, but note the Apple phone! – Day Admin)

An octagonal cunting required for this benefit sponging bike who must by now have a snatch like a butchers bin.

This tart is whinging because she is now having to frequent the food bank, because 2 of her litter are now to old to claim benefits for and now she is £160 down a month and no one will give her a job….

Now this sickens me, is it just me who thinks what fucking business has she got popping out 8 fucking brats probably by various different blokes and expecting the system to pay, which is you and I to pay for them.

The leech has fucked up her life, no boss in his right mind would employ someone with 8 kids, image how often she, s going to want to start late, finish early, not turn up, sue you when you sack her.

Maybe she should look at hiring them out, or getting odd jobs done around the council estate she lives in, you know cut grass, pick up dog shit and broken glass, wash cars that sort of thing, at least Katey Price used Harvey to make some money.

I know everyone including me gives the dinghy divers a hard time, but I don’t think cunts like this are any better, just as fucking useless, the only thing I think she needs is a lorry load of condoms and a video on birth control.

Ho Ho Ho it’s Christmas so surely it’s time for another bun in the over for her to claim for…. Cunts like this need to be told no, I you can’t support one don’t have seven more, she obviously follows to non plan, plan, maybe time for her to start filming rough porn to pay her way….

It’s Christmas time, so let’s make an animated Christmas show about Christmas being misogynistic and a white supremacist racist festival. And let’s make lots of references to excrement too, for some bizarre reason.

Somebody thought this would be a good idea for some reason. I think it’s appalling that something so blatantly anti white has been allowed on television (HBO). It’s dangerous is shite like this.

Roger, who plays a major role with Silverman in this abomination, has been quick to call the universally terrible reviews as ‘white supremacists review bombing the show’. It’s just horrible racists who don’t like his show, you see.

No Seth, you unfunny racist cunt (yes, just like everyone else, four be twos can be racist too) the racist here is you and the other cunts responsible.

Thing is, this sort of shit will send a few more down that ‘Let’s invade Poland’ rabbit hole. I’m not going down it just yet, but he is a racist anti white J-boy. End of. Most aren’t like that though in my experience. But once enough people are sent down that rabbit hole due to shit like this, Seth and others like him might have something to really complain about, the stupid fucks.

Our lives have changed forever. I present to you, good cunters of the world, the Museum of Transology.

I’m struggling to think of anything to say as my blood pressure is affecting my thought patterns at the moment. It goes without saying this utter pile of steaming human garbage is in Brighton.

Over to the towering intellectuals here, who I’m sure, will have some wonderful and enlightening passages of prose to explain this to me.
