‘Total rubbish’: Feud brewing between PM and UK media

Published

on

There is a feud brewing in the UK between media outlets and British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

The feud follows conservative publication The Daily Mail reporting that Johnson would rather see “bodies piled high in their thousands” than move the nation into another lockdown.

“No more f***ing lockdowns – let the bodies pile high in their thousands.”

Several further media outlets have come forward to confirm the remarks. As it stands, broadcasters and publishers across the UK are on a collision course with the Prime Minister.

University of London’s Suzanne Franks says “it is pretty remarkable to see both the BBC and ITV go out on such a limb about this, as they’ve never done this before”.

The BBC is of particular note given the UK’s public broadcaster typically only reports on these issues when it has a high degree of confidence in the source.

Adidas faces potential $320M Yeezy shoe write-off post-Kanye split

Published

on

Adidas is contemplating a significant financial blow as it considers writing off $320 million worth of Yeezy shoes following its separation from music and fashion icon Kanye West.

The sportswear giant’s decision to sever ties with West’s Yeezy brand has left a mountain of unsold merchandise, threatening to dent the company’s balance sheet.

The partnership between Adidas and Kanye West, which began in 2013, had been immensely successful, with Yeezy shoes becoming a highly sought-after fashion statement.

However, recent controversies and disagreements between West and Adidas prompted the sportswear company to distance itself from the celebrity designer.

The massive inventory of Yeezy shoes now presents a dilemma for Adidas, as it grapples with finding a solution to deal with the surplus stock. A $320 million write-off could significantly impact the company’s financial performance in the short term.

Adidas is currently exploring various options, including discounting, donating, or repurposing the unsold inventory to mitigate the financial hit.
