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

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.

Call me old fashioned but I think the smoking gun is *not* whether Boris Johnson did or did not say “let the bodies pile high in their thousands” – it’s that he did, in fact, let the bodies pile high in their thousands

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.

Whoa—Boris Johnson said he ‘would rather let bodies pile high’ than impose third lockdown. They say Johnson lost his temper and “raged” after agreeing to new restrictions in late October 2020.

Reportedly—there are tapes. #COVID19 https://t.co/EYJIuQYvFf pic.twitter.com/KHvuPbCh37

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
