Brilio.net/en - In recent weeks, the Police of London is investigating a group that spreads terror to obese men and women, called Overweight Haters Ltd, which often acts in tube stations.
The Guardian reported on Wednesday (2/12), police have takenaction after they got some reports from locals. They admited to seeing a group of mysterious people who handed a card to overweight people.
Writings on the card reads: Its really not glandular, its your gluttony. Our organization hates and resent fat people, as quoted from the photos posted to Twitter by a tube passenger.
The writing on the card also appears to insult overweight people by stating that they are worse than a pig. We also object that the beautiful pig is used as an insult. You are not a pig. You are a fat, ugly man.
Twitter users in England have condemned such an act. Through her twitter account (@kflorish), Kara Florish accused the Overweight Hatters Ltd as cowardice. (Their action) could potentially upset people struggling with confidence and eating dissorder, wrote Kara.
One of the passengersdescribed a similar incident at the Oxford Circus Underground Station. A man handed a card to an overweight girl while just saying Youre fat, read this, then he jumped off at the next station after the girl read it and cried.
The British Transport police pledged to crackdown on hate groups. A hotline is provided to report similar incidents in the future.
All of our customers have the right to travel with confidence, and this sad and unpleasant form of antisocial behavior will not be tolerated, said Steve Burton, the director of enforcement and on-street operations.
