Anita Roddick sells out

I was horrified to hear the news today that Anita Roddick has agreed to a takeover of The Body Shop by L'Oreal. Unbelievable. Aside from the appalling track record L'Oreal have in terms of animal testing - something you'd think Anita Roddick would be most concerned about - but they are also owned in part by Nestle, one of the world's most unethical companies. What the hell is she thinking? How will she be able to sleep at night? I suppose the £130m might just soften the blow, but if this goes ahead I for one will never be shopping in Body Shop again.

Bet she's terrified now...
