Cameron is promoting British businesses in India – but one in particular will be disappointed with him, namely Unilever who he visited in India today. When asked if he could name a Unilever brand that was close to him, he couldn’t name a single one. That’s some quality briefing work there from Downing Street. Here’s Cameron’s gaffe in full:
Some Unilever brands Cameron could mentioned are Bovril, Pot Noodle, Lynx, Dove, Persil, Sure, Timotei, Stork, Flora, Cif, Lipton, Hellman’s and I can’t believe it’s not butter.
We can’t believe Cameron’s not better prepared…
