Bad PR

Jerk chicken made with actual garden peas! But what’s worse, the fact that Ikea got the ingredients in their new dish so wrong, or just how unappetising it looks? In the second episode of Bad PR, Nancy Elgadi is joined by Right Angles’ chief writer, Eliot Wilson and consultant Madelaine Hanson. As well as Ikea’s new dish faux pas, the trio question how the Guardian’s comments about David Cameron got past the editors - how he’s apparently only felt ‘privileged pain’, referring to the death of his eldest son. Now that’s low. And they discuss how despite her many achievements, Carrie Symonds, Boris Johnson’s girlfriend, is being talked about over six pages of Google solely because of her new puppy Larry. Join the team as they explore whether company apologies are ever enough, and what they could do to avoid the scandal.
