Khi chính phủ “đi buôn”

ko phải tập đoàn nào ở tây cũng muốn 'chính trị gia' - thành viên chính phủ "make deal" giúp họ đâu...

...The phenomenon with politicians can also happen in reverse – when a brand thinks they’ve done a great bit of advertising, then realise it may have backfired badly. That happened to Heck sausages during the 2019 Conservative leadership election campaign (cuộc vận động bầu cử lãnh đạo Đảng Bảo thủ), when it must have seemed like a publicity coup to have the potential future prime minister visit its sausage factory (nhà máy xúc xích) en route (đang trên đường đi) to leadership hustings (đài phong đại biểu quốc hội (trước năm 1872 ở Anh); diễn đàn vận động bầu cử) in York.

As well as the usual pictures on the factory floor, Heck had produced some specially branded “Boris bangers (xúc xích, pháo nổ to)” in a packet complete with branding and a distinctive shock of blond hair. The backlash was immediate. #BoycottHeck began trending on social media and the company was enveloped in a full-blown PR crisis – ultimately issuing a statement to clarify that the company had no political affiliation “and didn’t mean to cause offence or upset anyone”. If only the chancellor had been around to offer them a soothing brew.

...The most common controversies are those involving musicians, who are often allergic (dị ứng) to the idea that a politician they detest (ghét cay ghét đắng) might use their songs. REM's bassist, Mike Mills, tweeted earlier this year that the band were exploring legal action (thăm dò/tìm hiểu các hành động pháp lý) to prevent (ngăn chặn/ngăn cản) the US president, Donald Trump, from using their music at his rallies and calling him a fraud (kẻ lừa gạt; kẻ gian lận) and a conman (= confidence trickster, kẻ lạm dụng lòng tin tưởng của ai để không thực hiện đúng nghĩa vụ đối với họ; kẻ lạm dụng tín nhiệm; kẻ bội tín).
