Do you like LUSH products?

Further to my recent piece about Lush and its questionable position re Israel and Saudi Arabia, I had a look around their website and found this campaigning piece. It's entitled 'Challenging anti-foreigner laws   No-one is illegal' and includes such gems as '...immigration controls are inherently unjust and inhumane and that the abolition of immigration controls is not only possible, it's preferable', '...20 years of anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies, which must be challenged, especially with the rise of right-wing and fascist groups who are buoyed up when government ministers also spout anti-immigration rhetoric', ...Borders are constructed and moved, and arbitrary controls are imposed over who can and cannot cross them, all over the world.' and 'We don't think you should need a passport to move around the planet we all share, but since we are asked to present a passport at many borders, we thought we'd make one that gave all the information anyone should need, to confirm that you are indeed a human being, not an alien, or a business corporation, nor a figment of some racist's imagination.'. The bit that caught my eye was this though:

'Most people come to Britain to work and become active members of the community. According to the Home Office, each year immigrants in Britain make a net contribution to the public purse of £2.5 billion. Migrant workers from outside the EU generally can't claim benefits if they become unemployed.'

I have no problem with people coming to this country if they contribute to the life and well-being of this country. That statistic is of course b****ks; rather than a net monetary figure, I would like to know how many people are net payers of taxes and how many are net receivers of benefits. My guess is that the relatively small number of American and French bankers, German IT consultants, Italian management consultants etc. are paying a lot of tax, whilst a much larger number of others are receiving benefits. Am I wrong?

I have not shopped at Lush for some years and don't intend to start now. I will however start educating friends and family about Lush's political position.
