The cosmetics chain Lush has resumed its poster campaign highlighting the misconduct of undercover police officers who infiltrated political groups.
Lush removed an initial version of its campaign poster from displays at its 104 stores last Thursday after it said its shop staff had been intimidated by former police officers. The campaign was criticised by the home secretary, Sajid Javid, and others as being anti-police and insulting to police officers.
On Wednesday, a new poster was installed in shop windows. Without a photograph, the text draws attention to how undercover police spied on more than 1,000 political groups while “infiltrating lives, homes and beds of citizens for 50 years”.
The poster criticises the public inquiry into the police spies as ”increasingly secret and going nowhere”. The inquiry has so far cost £10m and is yet to hear any evidence amid accusations that its chair, Sir John Mitting, will allow too much of it to be heard in private.
