I HAVE never felt the need to hunt foxes, but I know there are some people who want to; and that, to my mind, is their decision.

However what I do feel that Lush is supporting is the current government's abolition of the right to choose.

Let's face it, was fox hunting a matter of national importance, up there with the discovery (or not) of weapons of mass destruction, economic meltdown, or any other of the disasters that Blair and Brown have visited upon us?

No, it was in fact an assault on the members of the electorate who would rather cut their hand off before it put a cross in the Labour box.

Countless members of my forebears including myself have served this country in the armed forces to defend our right to choose, and this has now been taken away bit by bit by the nanny state and supported by misguided do-gooders.

A bigger threat to lawbreaking is the use of mobile phones whilst driving; obviously Lush would not want to support this cause as nothing fluffy is involved.

Lush, you have lost my business.
