Hello everyone, I hope you are all good. The weekend was a good one, but as always it was over too quickly. It’s Monday, 09 November 2009 and here is today’s Good and Bad PR...
Good PR
Today’s Good PR goes to the two Britons who are currently having their tickets checked after they claim to each have won the Euro Millions jackpot. If the pair are successful in the claim checking process they stand to gain £45.5m each! The pair have to pass security checks before meeting with a private banker who handles the money transfer and advisers who discuss how to deal with their new-found wealth.
They also advise winners on whether they should go public once the win is confirmed.
If the winner’s claims are confirmed then it means they are automatically put on The Times rich list. I’m thinking if they do, they might have to become my new best friends, having said that I think that many people will be thinking the same.
Bad PR
Today’s Bad PR goes to our Prime Minister Gordon Brown after he made two terrible blunders over the weekend. The first came after he wrote a letter to the mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan, and spelled his name wrong, which has unsurprisingly shocked and upset his mother.
The second came yesterday during the remembering Remembrance Sunday when he failed to bow to the Cenotaph. Gordon is said to have angered veterans during the ceremony yesterday as he laid a wreath but failed to dip his head in honour of those still fighting and those who died whilst doing so. Considering many people blame Labour for the sheer number if people dying in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention the fact he has insisted keeping them there you’d have thought he’d be a bit more considerate.
