Lush’s L ugly campaign

MY WIFE and I are police officers, each with 30 years of exemplary service, who are long- standing customers c of cosmetics firm Lush.

I worked on the frontline for 18 years y in some of the poorest and most m dangerous parts of London.

My wife was a murder squad detective dealing with the worst possible cases.

We’ll never shop at Lush again after its i ill-judged marketing campaign accusing the police of being ‘spycops’ who are ‘paid to lie’ (Mail).

The management of Lush can’t possibly fathom what we have endured at times when they are sleeping peacefully in their beds, safe in the knowledge that people like us are a keeping them from harm.

Have they ever fought for their life with a violent drug addict, or desperately tried to save the life of a boy stabbed after a petty argument? How often have they knocked on a door to tell a wife that her husband has been killed in a car crash? NICHOLAS WILLIAMS,

address supplied. LUSH’S anti-police publicity stunt has only served to alienate many of its customers.

Who will Lush call if there is a shoplifter or burglar in one of their shops? Who do they expect to gather the evidence to prosecute such cases?
