Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Prawn Cocktail Offensive was the scornful name given to the British Labour Party's successful attempt (while in opposition in the 1990s) to win trust and backing from the United Kingdom's financial sector. The Prawn Cocktail Offensive was executed under the Shadow Chancellorship of John Smith, who accompanied Mo Mowlam on an extensive series of private lunches and conferences with City figures. A prawn cocktail is a seafood entrée popular (but regarded as something of a luxury) in the 1970s. By the time of Smith and Mowlam's operations it had acquired unfortunate connotations of naffness. The combination of this dish with the well-known political phrase ‘charm offensive' (cf. the notorious "-gate" suffix) was a reference to the "lunching" involved in Smith and Mowlam's plans. The first usage of the phrase ‘Prawn Cocktail Offensive' is currently unrecorded.
