UK police probes abusive fat cards on London Tube

British police have launched an investigation into the distribution of abusive cards on the London Underground by a group calling itself Overweight Haters Ltd.
A number of people have reported seeing passengers being handed the so-called fat cards.
A Twitter user posted a picture of one of the cards, which she said she had been given on the tube, describing it as "hateful and cowardly".
British Transport Police (BTP)used Twitter to say that it was "aware of the leaflets being distributed" and urge anyone who had been handed one to contact them.
"It's really not glandular, it's your gluttony...Our organisation hates and resents fat people. We object to the enormous amount of food resources you consume while half the world starves," the cards read.

Transport for London, which runs the Tube network in the British capital, said that it was urging people who witnessed the cards being handed out to contact station staff or police.
"All of our customers have the right to travel with confidence and this sad and unpleasant form of antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated," said Steve Burton, director of enforcement and on-street operations.
