I think this is misrepresenting what he said. His stance is basically that he felt like they were punishing honest workers and business partners, people who never lied or cheated or hurt anyone, for something that they had no part in due to public pressure. He’s not wrong either unless people have some kind of explanation for how a cosmetics manufacturer is supposed to stop Putin from murdering innocent Ukrainians fighting against his pointless war and innocent Russians who don’t want to fight for him.
why would he say the quiet part out loud? how would this not make him seem like a piece of shit?
i tried to read in the article where he might say something about why but it really is just ‘profits at all costs’… wants to avoid the use of words like ‘ethical’… gotcha. i understand what kind of person you are now.
I’ll take an honest cunt over a deceitful cunt any day of the week.
And some people still say that the customers are helpless and calling for boycott doesn’t work…
If people would demand other industries to be more in line with their moral values (like about climate change) that could also change a lot
That’s the name of the game with carotidien. Profits at all costs.
That’s good to know. Since Lush doesn’t seem to sell their stuff in other retail locations, it will be much easier to never buy Lush products again.
Atleast he isn’t lying. Every other company is waiting for the right time to go back why shouldn’t he? I am under no illusion that all businesses that left Russia did it because of the goodness of their hearts.
Are you going to boycott all the other business that left too?
Watch me.

Oh No, an internet stranger doesn’t like who I will and won’t spend my money on!

Neat. I will continue to not buy Lush, so absolutely nothing has changed there. Someone else came at me with a whataboutism style response, and I dismissed them with a “watch me”.
Why would you give two shits about me not buying Lush? Do you own stock in the company? Do you have vested interest in any other company I’d like to boycott?
Also, I’m completely at peace with you finding me immature, or any other adjective, as I do not ascribe any weight to your opinion.

Sanctions are typically the acts of a government state not the actions of a business. Businesses have to comply with them but only if they’re bound by them. That wasn’t the case here. Lush did this based on public outcry, not sanctions.
A cosmetics manufacturer alone? No.
All western companies leaving however can make an economic hit that will benefit Ukraine.
As for the Russians? They can revolt or do something, otherwise they suffer. Who cares about them.
Dude’s a greedy pig, what do you expect?
If you actually read the article it doesn’t seem to be about the money:
Mr Constantine said: “It was horrible. I hated it because we have a very diverse workforce and lots of people who probably wouldn’t be welcome in Russia.
“We had a partner of 20 years in Russia who never cheated, never lied, and we had to tell him we weren’t going to supply him anymore.
(The Telegraph doesn’t close some of their “quotes” for some reason)
As far as I remember, that’s the correct use of continued quotation in English
huh, i didn’t know that was a thing
Indeed. I’m reading the OG Frankenstein book and found this out when quotes were only at the start of a paragraph and never closed, for pages at a time.
lmao for a minute i thought the public was deeply invested in the remote control vibrator Lush by Lovense
We are! This isn’t it though. Don’t put this up there. It’ll ruin the pH.

Why are you commenting this to me? I’m the one that pointed out that the parent’s interpretation of the story was wrong in the first place.
