Featuring occasional commentary from our in-house writers.









COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW VIDEO: A decent track. Tyson James, if you’re not familiar, is top quality but underrated rapper and one of my favorites at the moment. Definitely check this guy out and consider supporting him.

COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: I’m sure she’s gutted to become a new billionaire due to antiquated divorce laws – SkeptiX. 







COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW VIDEO: As far as I can tell, the jury is still out as to whether the woke agenda will be predominant in the actual movie.

I am waiting for reviews from trustworthy sources to come out (once the film has been released) before I make a final decision as to whether to go. See the next story down below this one as well for some more ‘wokery in popular culture’ news.

Video description continues below – BrandX. 

VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

“The fake woke marketing of James Bond: No Time to Die continues with the director accusing his main character of be a “therapist” and the producers confirm that this will indeed be a James Bond for the MeToo|Times Up era. No surprise there, they have been telling us this for 2 years.

We also learn what Phoebe Waller-Bridge thinks makes a character relatable. It ain’t pretty. Not really sure this is wise considering the film needs to clear 900 million to break even according to the access media. This may be the end of the road for James Bond.”


COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW VIDEO:  Okay… so Disney are dropping the word ‘men’ in X-Men in order to be more inclusive.

Because that moment in X-Men Dark Phoenix (2019) where Mystique called out use of the word ‘men’ in the group went down really well with the audience.

Good luck with the future of the franchise. I’m out – BrandX. 



COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: The family made the following statement (below) to explain their actions. Makes total sense under the circumstances. But nope… they have to face prosecution. Great system we have – BrandX.

“A business closure at that time of year (the run up to Xmas) would have been financially devastating for our business and family. In addition to the loss of sales profit (which helps to sustain our business during the quieter times of year), we were carrying an exceptionally large volume of perishable stock which was at risk of write-off. Also, failure to fulfil Xmas orders could have had a long-term impact on business goodwill, potentially resulting in a complete business failure.

Failure to pay our mortgage could have resulted in the loss of both our business premises and living accommodation.”
