IT may not be of Trumpesque proportions but there's discrimination everywhere you look these days...

My wife received an email from Amazon, asking her to take part in one of those on-line surveys. It would only take 15 minutes, they promised, and the feedback would be greatly appreciated.

She doesn't normally respond to such requests but she does a fair bit of shopping on Amazon so, against her better judgement, she decided to take part.

The first question was: "Are you or any members of your family involved in the following professions?" One such profession was "media" and when she ticked the box, there was an instant reply: "That's all the questions we have for you."

Amazon can do without feedback from those pesky journalists. Well, we're not proper people, are we?
