Why does Amazon destroy or throw away perfectly good products? ITV’s investigation found a leaked document that showed more than 130,000 items that were marked “destroy” in one week in April, in one UK warehouse. The same document found that just 28,000 items in the same period were labelled “donate”.28 Jun 2021
An ex-employee, who asked for anonymity, told us: “From a Friday to a Friday our target was to generally destroy 130,000 items a week.
“I used to gasp. There’s no rhyme or reason to what gets destroyed: Dyson fans, Hoovers, the occasional MacBook and iPad; the other day, 20,000 Covid (face) masks still in their wrappers.

Why oh why are we so surprised? Thus is a mega million global co who just want to succeed at all costs, like IKEA etc. They are above scrutiny by Greta etc.
If you don’t think that the “destroyed” items don’t end up on the criminal black market you are very, very deluded. There is always a system to take advantage of this sort of shit and Amazon are probably happy to look the other way.
I guess some items are destroyed due to safety
If an item has been returned, they can’t be sure it’s safe unless inspected
And that might be complicated to do with a dangerous item like an iron or fan, so they just destroy them instead.
Its staggering. Many years ago I had a friend who would regular attend ‘auctions sales’ – that were never made public – so a lot of tally men would go, where department stores would offload excess and returned stock. This stuff would be in huge cages and the price would be per cage. Via my ‘friend’ I had brand new Prestige cookware in their boxes, which cost me around a tenner for 2 stewpots and a couple of saucepans.
Its like the dark net above ground, if you’re in the ‘know’ then anything can be got for a fraction of the cost.
I think a lot of it ends up on Ebay now, or it used to about 10 years ago when I knew a friend (with connections) who attended some of these closed shop auctions, he used to do police auctions too, all kinds of confiscated stock – then stick it all on Ebay with a good markup. Not a bad business if you have the right connections, and somewhere to store it all.
Strictly going big on supporting children in need showing bits of selected film of kids with issues including downs syndrome, meanwhile the good and great and the scientific are pushing for murdering them before they are born. To keep things nice and tidy.
I really hate these twats who think they have all the answers. I hope they enjoy their nice clean SW1 lives.
my last post was a bit vicious but needs to be said!
Vicious but justifiably so.
Restrained, if anything.
The melting ice has revealed ancient field boundaries in Greenland (NB, note the name “Green”) which no one knew about. That may be worrying evidence of global warming, but it is also evidence that we have been here before.
ITV local news : PR item for Mums Reunited who help refugees in Sheffield

Exactly!
Absolutely, we all have blind spots, subjects we know little, or nothing about, and which we trust the media to inform us about.
But, likewise we all have areas we know something about, and sometimes subjects we have a degree of expertise in, and doubts about the veracity of the media’s reporting start to creep in when we observe those areas reported so blatantly incorrectly.
In my case, I didn’t really notice ’til I was 30 odd, my children are well aware of what’s going on in their teens… and it does seem the media are getting more things wrong, and more brazenly so, and they just don’t care who notices.
There is an element of bluff about it, and a forcing of people into ‘camps’, with vilification of those who refuse to sign up for the whole package – however, mad some of it might be. You have to agree to: climate change (all of it, wildfires searing the land, polar bears dying of skin cancer, London drowning, people’s heads exploding because of the heat…), racism (every claim, even that EVERY white person is unconsciously a racist, who needs to kneel before their new masters and beg for forgiveness), sexism (ditto, however far fetched some of the claims are), AND the transgender agenda (most of which is off the scale whacko), OR you’re as ‘bad’ as someone who doesn’t agree with any of them.
Personally, I’m happy to opt out of the whole package and be a pariah.
Putting people in camps has a lot of similarities with the tribalism that Zelazek describes below.
As they say, “It won’t end well”.
I see Alan Jones the excellent Sky Aus reporter has been cast into outer darkness for pointing out on an ABC programme that CO2 makes up 0.04 % of the atmostphere of which 3 % is generated by man, of which 3%, 1 % is produced in Australia.
How many minutes to save “the planet” does that make?
Covid ?
Message to Al Beeb, Bo Jo and your faux Tory Government – No one believes you any more .
You are destroying Great Britain!

“Follow the money” Someone has made a lot of it from Covid ?
Sportscene on BBC Scotland mentions that the minute’s silence at the Dundee/Celtic game was disrespected. No attempt to explain by whom or why.
It was Celtic fans. Most of them are of Irish Catholic immigrant stock. They fly Irish tricolours. Many of them are from families who have been in Glasgow for 150 years but they still identify as Irish and hate everything British from Oliver Cromwell to Winston Churchill. Many of them must have had relatives who died in the war against Hitler but for some perverse reason they can’t show respect even to them. Perhaps they are secretly ashamed that their beloved Irish Republic did not take up arms against Hitler and they can’t stand the fact that it was the British who won them the freedom they enjoy today. I don’t know.
Two points strike me about this:
Despite having been in Britain for 150 years and being a closely related ethnic group, the Irish Catholic population in Britain has still not assimilated and elements of it are actively hostile. What chance is there then of even more alien ethnic, racial and religious immigrants assimilating harmoniously into British society? Answer – None.
The other point is how the BBC will just not identify a problem if it comes from an immigrant group. Any time sectarianism in Scottish football is brought up, it is always in the context of the anti-Catholic bigotry of Rangers fans. The BBC hate British people and will never criticise an immigrant group. Just as a murder in London will be reported as committed by a “man”, the disrespecting of the minute’s silence at a football match in Dundee today is reported as committed by “fans”.
Great Post Zelazek. I’ve sent it to my besty who is Scottish and profoundly British. He is in a constant battle with the Scottish left who are as anti-british if not more so (if indeed that’s possible) than the BBC.
A lot of people have a desire to be ‘rooted’ and that can be quite strong for the children of immigrants.
A few years ago an ‘Oxbridge’ Muslim made a radio programme for the BBC in which he was quite shocked to find that children of Muslim immigrants wanted to be more Muslim than their parents who they thought had abandoned their roots and religion. [‘Oxbridge’ Muslim – ‘the only Muslim in the college’ type, integrated by necessity with fellow would-be BBC employees].
Somewhat more years ago the BBC broadcast a series made by RTE on the Irish Diaspora. The part on Irish-Americans was quite telling. Protestant Irish immigrants finding themselves amongst aliens turned to Irish social clubs to find the familiar, their roots. The Irish Catholic now became their friends and even spouses, a refuge from all the other hyphenated Americans. Within a generation all the Paisleys, O’Bamas and Bidens are singing rebel songs, funding the IRA and blocking trade deals with the ‘hated British’, even though their grandparents proudly flew the Union Jack.
It can be a powerful thing to ‘belong’ to a tribe, even if that belonging is one of adoption.
