Comedian David Mitchell has slammed Amazon as benefit scroungers in a barnstorming speech given at the Booksellers Association conference today (22nd September). In an entertaining but hard-hitting keynote address to delegates at the Warwick event, Mitchell criticised the online retailer for taking grant handouts from the Treasury to build its warehouses in the UK, while accusing the Treasury itself of pumping water into the rising sea. He also attacked both the e-commerce giant and the government for allowing UK high streets to die and jobs at smaller businesses to disappear. thebookseller/news/ba-conference-david-mitchell-lambasts-rapacious-amazon.html
