Political campaigns have become smarter, but Lush UK?

[Terzo123]

It would seem Lush UK have started a new advertising campaign going after the Police.

The response on Twitter and Facebook has been amusing to say the least.

Playing devils advocate, is there any merit to this campaign?

They are one of my clients.

Barking fking mad, the lot of them. There isn't a single normal-looking person works there.

And they make the whole of north Poole smell like soap.

I assume Lush won't be asking for their help next time they suffer a theft?

Linky no worky, and only out-of-context responses on FB, so I suspect it's been pulled...

Must be backing Tommy Robinson

[bazza white]

A lot of backlash against lush on this one. I think this will bite them in the arse.

Is this in response to a specific event or case, or just some general rant? Can’t seem to work that out.

[Terzo123]

Well it looks like Lush UK are not for backing down on this particular marketing campaign, as per their latest tweet.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out, especially if sales are impacted upon.

[Exige77]

I won’t be buying any of their stuff in future.

[bitchstewie]

Isn't this aimed less at Police investigating and more at Police going so deep that they are sleeping and practically living with people as "partners"?

Possibly, however their shop displays do not indicate that, and would appear to generalise that police are paid to lie.

Instead of apologising, they are continuing to dig, which at the end of the day is their prerogative, although potentially a financially expensive one.

Imagine being an off duty cop with your family walking passed that. I don't think you would be going in.

Yes that's fair, it doesn't look great simply going off the window display.

[TooMany2cvs]

Oh, it's about that.

Seems to me that it's now going to be very easy for any such group to tell whether their keen new member is an infiltrator or not - just lob a honey trap at 'em.

[CrutyRammers]

Epic misjudgement there.
But then they have Corbyn on their website, so hardly surprising.

The window displays state "spied on for taking a stand" - the display is meant to capture attention and get people looking into what it's about, they're not going to put a 1,000 word essay detailing the exact issues on it.
