Beth Vamhimsbergh, from Lush Cosmetics, in Sir Isaac’s Walk, Colchester, has agreed to be covered in “oil”, or in actual fact, a type of molasses treacle, and draped in the Canadian flag.How are people supposed to drive to your stores if we don't extract oil? How are you going to get your supplies, if the oil runs out?
The protest aims to mark the launch of Lush’s campaign against Canadian tar sands oil, which the store says is destroying ancient forests.

If you've seen what's been done to Colchester in the last sixty years, you'll understand why they're in no position to give advice.
Covered in molasses and draped in the Canadian flag.
Rule 34, methinks.
Protesting against oil? Then we'd better extract and process all that nasty oil into fuel and plastics and whatnot, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
Woman covered in treacle..? As you sure it's a cosmetics shop?
I wonder what would happen if somebody accidentally dropped a bag of feathers upwind of the silly Beth.
We flew over the tar sands a couple of years ago. Extraction does make a hell of a mess of what would otherwise be a pristine wilderness.

All town High Streets look the same now, don't they?
"I wonder what would happen if somebody accidentally dropped a bag of feathers upwind of the silly Beth."
If it's anything like Southend High Street, the feral pigeons will already have provided a few!

Very few energy methods are pretty. At least the tar sands is effective; can't say the same for wind turbines.
" has agreed to be covered in . . a type of molasses treacle"
Time to release the killer bees!
Surely the important question should not be how much pristine wilderness is lost but how much pristine wilderness is left.
