Unprecedented attack on civil society

In conclusion, Bell Pottinger knew who it was taking on as clients, and it would have been obvious as to what would have been required to ‘rehabilitate’ the public perceptions of these clients, given the well-documented, and wide-spread, allegations of state capture against them.

The revised narrative, constructed by Bell Pottinger for its clients, not only allowed the alleged continued looting of South Africa’s state coffers but also resulted (whether motivated or not) in an unprecedented attack on civil society as it tried to stem the tide of state corruption, including against those who oppose this from within the ruling party, opposition politicians, journalists, religious leaders and (actual) struggle veterans.

Nothing that Bell Pottinger planned, executed or advised its clients on could possibly be construed as to having been in the public interest, nor did it seemingly, the #GuptaLeak emails show, not disseminate false or misleading information “knowingly or recklessly.”

Are these immoral spin doctors also heavily involved in the British political landscape?

Bell, who founded it, was Thatcher's advisor on media and spin.

edit: just a sample of the sort of thing he did.

Labour ran posters like this in 1966.



Here's Bell (on the right) celebrating his take, from 1979, with a glass of something nice.

Thanks, that explains a lot, one shouldn't be surprised then that they'd be the kind of firm to stir up shit oversees.
