COSMETICS brand Lush was praised by campaigners today for its nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the spycops scandal and ensuing Establishment cover-up.
In collaboration with campaign group Police Spies Out of Lives, Lush will be highlighting the ever-increasing secrecy of the ongoing spycops inquiry with displays in its stores for the next three weeks.
Customers will be asked to sign a postcard to Sajid Javid calling on the new Home Secretary to appoint a panel of experts to the inquiry, expand its remit to Scotland and to release the personal files of victims.
