A group claiming to call itself 'Overweight Haters Ltd' has been handing out abusive cards to commuters on London's underground rail network, branding them as "fat" and "ugly."
National Health Service (NHS) worker, Kara Florish took to Twitter slamming the campaign group's "hateful" and "cowardly" tactics after being given a card on the London Underground.
The card went on, adding that Overweight Haters Ltd hated and resented "fat people", accusing them of "wasting NHS money" and adding "it's really not glandular, it's your gluttony."
The British Transport Police have announced that they are aware of the cards, and ask anyone who was handed one to call them.
"We have spoken to a number of people and, to date, have had two formal complaints and several anecdotal reports," the police said in a statement Tuesday.
One person reported on social media that he saw a woman in tears after a "young man" at Oxford Circus handed her a printed card saying "You're Fat".
People across the globe ran to the woman's defense, condemning the actions of Overweight Haters Ltd.
Companies from all walks of life including personal care brand, Dove, and plus-size clothing designer, Navabi, have reached out on Twitter to show their support to those affected.
Local government body responsible for the city's transport, Transport for London (TfL), has issued a statement about the matter, saying the anti-social behavior wouldn't be tolerated.
"All of our customers have the right to travel with confidence, and this sad and unpleasant form of anti-social behavior will not be tolerated," Steve Burton, director of enforcement and on-street operations at TfL, said in a statement emailed to CNBC.
一個自稱“超重者敵人有限公司”的構造在倫敦地鐵上向通勤者分發淩辱性卡片，卡片上寫著“你是胖子，你很醜”。
英國公民醫療體系一位員工卡拉·弗洛裏斯在推特上鞭撻這個構造，稱其行動“使人討厭、怯弱脆弱”。她在乘坐倫敦地鐵時收到了一張如許的卡片。
卡片事宜還在連續。“超重者敵人”構造表現他們討厭、仇恨“胖子”，稱他們“糟蹋英國公民醫療體系的錢”。該構造以為，“胖不是生成的，而是暴飲暴食致使的。”
英邦交通警員局表現他們已參與卡片事宜，並號令收到卡片的人和警方獲得接洽。
周二(12月1日)，英邦交通警員局發聲明稱：“咱們訊問了許多人，至今已收到兩起正式投訴和幾回情形申報。”
有人在交際媒體上稱，他親眼目擊一名女生在牛津廣場收到一個年青須眉給她的卡片後冷靜墮淚，卡片上印有“你是個胖子”字樣。
天下各地的網友紛紜為該女生打行俠仗義，同聲訓斥“超重者敵人”的行動。
包含小我照顧護士品牌多芬、大號時裝計劃公司Navabi在內的各行各業，均在推特上表現支撐那些受損害的人。
賣力治理倫敦交通的當局機構和倫敦交通局已就此事揭櫫聲明，稱對這類反社會行動采用零容忍的立場。
倫敦交通局法律和途徑治理部分主任斯蒂夫·伯頓 在給美國天下播送公司財經頻道(CNBC)的郵件中說：“有莊嚴地乘坐地鐵是全部搭客的權力，發“胖子卡”是一種可悲而又使人憎惡的反社會行動，咱們毫不能容忍。”
