Cant post link but good article in Guardian about how brexit is becoming lexit due to a mix of levelling up and Boris' carefree attitude to spending taxpayers' money

Two generations of people who have no idea what to do with a fish with all its scales and bones, staring up at you on an array of fishmonger's ice...
Shall we blame Captain Birdseye?

They deny it is anything to do with Brexit but I'm not so sure.
Several versions of this story have mentioned the interchange fee on cross-border transactions - which would not apply if Amazon did all its UK financial transactions within the UK instead of processing credit card transactions in Luxembourg, possibly for tax purposes but that's just a guess. That's why you can still use Visa bank debit cards with them, those transactions don't cross borders.
If I was a snarky cynic I might also point to Amazon's own-branded Mastercard credit card offering as a contributing factor, then reminisce about the pre-credit card days when you either bought goods with cash or cheque, and if you didn't have the readies available you had to accept whatever financing deal the seller was willing to give you.
Yup, it's potentially back to the 1950s with Amazon - exactly the decade where Nigel Farage and his hard line UKIPpers (now the Reform Party) would like us to still live.

To be fair, he's probably correct that it is one of the main benefits of brexit |
