Adidas has cut its ties with Kanye West.

 


Adidas has cut its ties with Kanye West, condemning his anti-Semitic remarks in a move likely to halve the sportswear maker’s profits this year. The decision to drop the rapper and fashion designer, now known as Ye, comes after an interview in which he claimed he could «say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me». Those remarks followed West’s wearing a «White Lives Matter» shirt at the Paris Fashion Week. The line had become a significant source of profit for Adidas.The impact of the decision to cut ties with West pointed to «remarkable profitability for the Yeezy franchise», said James Grzinic, a Jefferies analyst. The relationship between Adidas and West was already strained. Adidas had put its tie-up with West under review after «repeated efforts to resolve the situation privately, the company said. In addition, Kering’s Balenciaga brand ditched West this month.

    It's so sad to see an artist like Kanye lose himself like this. It almost makes me cry. I mean, to have all this fame and be so known for what? To spew hate like this? Why? Why would you say these things? Why wouldn't you use your power to unite people?

    Unfortunately it seems clear to me that Kanye has serious mental problems. It's been obvious for some time now and things will only get worse unless he gets some much needed help. And there will be more companies that will also drop Kanye soon.

    I remember when Kanye was happy about what he was doing, about creating. And he exuded this happiness and everyone wanted to be around him. Now he is the exact opposite and people are starting to walk away from him.

  UK commercial property values and rents are projected to «tumble off a cliff edge» in the first quarter of 2023, as estate agents warn offices will fare worst as prices fall. A survey of more than 400 commercial agents forecast a 2.9 per cent decrease in prices per square foot across the industry in the first three months of the year, with offices falling 3.1 per cent. «Where we saw the market stop still, we will see the market finding its level, people working out where things are, where value is,» he said. Listed vehicles have already seen this valuation drop in their share prices, with real estates investment trusts such as Land Securities and British Land falling by a fifth or more this year. According to the RIB estate report, offices are expected to suffer the most significant sales price falls, with nearly a third of respondents expecting them to come down by more than 5 per cent.

BoE is considering to increase deposit guarantee.

  According to anonymous sources, the Bank of England is considering reforming its deposit guarantee scheme. The move comes in response to concerns that the current system may not be sufficient to protect customers in case of a bank failure. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme guarantees deposits up to £85,000 per person per institution. However, some experts have raised concerns that this may not be enough to prevent a run on banks in a significant financial crisis. As a result, the Bank of England is reportedly considering several options for reforming the scheme, including increasing protection and introducing more stringent bank regulations. A final decision on any changes will be made later this year. One option the Bank of England considers is increasing the protection offered by the deposit guarantee scheme. This could involve raising the maximum amount guaranteed per person or extending coverage to more types of deposits. Another possibility is to introduce more stri...
