I bought this book yesterday for my Kindle for two reasons. One because Tommy is currently at number #4 on the Amazon Bestsellers list and I wanted to help get him to number #1 and two because after watching dozens of his videos I wanted to financially support a man I greatly admire.
Remember how Amazon sent me an e-mail telling me that Milo’s book Dangerous was no longer available for me to buy even though I had pre-ordered it? Well in the case of Tommy’s book because it was available on Kindle as well as a physical book there was no publisher to cave in to pressure from activists so another way to stop the Kindle version had to be tried.
Amazon claimed that his book was not fit to be published because of how it was formatted.
If you agree with me that’s nice but what I really want to achieve is to make you question the status quo. Look between the lines, do your own research. Do not be a passive observer in this game we call life.
As much at home writing editorials as being the subject of them, Cam has won awards, including the Canon Media Award for his work on the Len Brown/Bevan Chuang story. And when he’s not creating the news, he tends to be in it, with protagonists using the courts, media and social media to deliver financial as well as death threats.

One of the above costumes was removed from Amazon because of complaints about it. Amazon was accused of using “a religious garment for commercial purposes.” A religious garment being used as a costume was considered offensive by the complainants. The wrath of a higher deity was even mentioned by those opposing the costume. Amazon removed the costume using the excuse that it didn’t follow their selling guidelines but they left the other costume for sale so clearly they were lying about the real reason why it was removed.
The world’s biggest shopping portal, Amazon, sells many Halloween costumes. One of the novelties in 2016 has been the “Sexy Burka”
…The commercial colossus of Jeff Bezos removed the item from the website, after Amazon had been swamped with accusations of “racism”, “Islamophobia,” of marketing an Islamic garment with the white face of a model and using “a religious garment for commercial purposes”. “You are disgusting, my culture is not your costume”, wrote many users of the Islamic faith. Others used a less adorable tone: “Whoever you are, you should fear Allah. This is not a joke.”
A spokesman for Amazon promptly responded: “All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action including potential removal of their account. The product in question is no longer available”.
So that Halloween parody of the global symbol of female oppression has been censored.

Today’s faces of the day will no longer have to kowtow to the politically correct BBC.Their new backers Amazon will not be interferring in how the new Top Gear type show will be run. In the brave new and lucrative world of online shows they can now cater to their audience and be as politically incorrect as they like. If the viewers don’t like it they won’t watch it and that is a refreshing way of doing things. Top Gear succeeded despite the BBC not because of it. The BBC never really understood their appeal. Now the three old blokes are having the last laugh and are laughing all the way to the bank. I can’t wait.

“It seems it would be pretty simple to speak with Amazon and other suppliers to ask them to collect GST since they collect, as I understand it, sales taxes for individual states in the US. If that’s true, then it’s obviously an ideological decision from the Government not to collect it.”
Looks like the comment was not only dumb, it was wrong. Amazon is refusing to collect state sales taxes, even taking New York State to the Supreme Court. The Taxpayers’ Union has blogged:
How Mr Clark thinks that the New Zealand Government has any tax jurisdiction over companies operating in and domicile in the United States is unclear. Is he meaning that as Minister he would seek agreement from the large online retailers like Amazon to charge just New Zealanders more, and pass the money on to the government? If so, he is being optimistic. Amazon for example is challenging New York State’s attempt to force it to collect its sales tax. Why would Amazon (and it’s competitors) take any different view to New Zealand? Read more »

The NZ Herald has surveyed people and they have found that 4 in 10 Kiwis are dumber than a sack of hammers…including Labour’s revenue spokesman David Clark.
Nearly 40 per cent of New Zealanders believe GST should be charged on all purchases made on foreign shopping websites, a survey has shown.
The Government is estimated to miss out on up to $300 million in sales tax each year.
But New Zealand retailers struggling to compete with overseas sellers – whose sales are exempt from GST when they are for less than $400 – will have to wait for any decision on a potential crackdown.
Revenue Minister Todd McClay says the Government wants to see what other countries do first and a discussion document on the issue, due before Christmas, has been delayed until next year. Read more »
