        That's good, but unless Amazon pays taxes and fair wages, Amazon "creating jobs" is actually costing UK PLC money in subsidies to its local workers, and thus its offshore profits. Maybe as journalists you could look at this?

        All these cowardly remainers who keep bleeting on about Britain having no inward investment after the EU cartel, should take note America is and always have been our greatest Allie!!!!

        I am afraid amazons understanding of phrase "highly skilled" is vastly different from those people who can actually understand the English language

        I am afraid you don’t actually know what Amazon does outside delivering parcels to you. I know people working their who’s salaries are quite reasonable (software developers).

        No. Amazon employs a lot of IT people with quite reasonable salaries (around 80K would be normal).

        Not sure what George Orwell would make of Amazon, but I suspect he would be pointing and saying . . . . . . I told you so
