Why is ebay supporting animal cruelty through its sale of fur coats?

Namely the array of fur coats and other garments made from chinchilla, rabbit and fox etc. I am amazed ebay is supporting one of the cruellest industries on the planet. I assume it has no sense of ethics. Not only does auto-fill assist the search for...

Death of the High Street?

Many towns have lots of empty shops and "the media" often mention the death of the High Street and some are blaming online trading for the demise. However, is that really the case? Might it not be that really there were just too many shops selling th...
