Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker accuses others of contradicting themselves: people were dismissed as scum a moment ago, and now they are being fed lunch and plied with drink. Exasperation drives the complaint, and 'the great name of PR' mocks how a publicity purpose is used to excuse the sudden change of treatment.
