Disapproval for Mister Barking's promotional activity (10)
I believe the answer is:
boosterism
'promotional activity' is the definition.
'disapproval for mister barking's' is the wordplay.
'disapproval' becomes 'boos' (a boo is a sound of disapproval).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'barking's' indicates an anagram (UK slang for mad).
'mister' is an anagram of 'terism'.
'boos'+'terism'='BOOSTERISM'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
