Ban The Berks! French example inspires local campaign
hua hin, thailand Following the controversial legal moves in France to outlaw the ‘burqa’, the full face veil worn by some Muslim women, moves appear to be afoot in Hua Hin to make some new laws here to combat what is seen as a growing problem. However the targets for the proposed law changes are not the veiled Islamic women, and the demands are not for anyone to be uncovered; in fact it is quite the opposite. The ‘Ban The Berks’ campaign has been instigated by a group called ‘We Hate Overweight Rude EuropeanS’ (WHORES), who have long campaigned for European holidaymakers and expats to follow certain modes of behaviour and dress, such as; • Always wear something to cover the torso; • Never wear Speedo style swimming trunks;
• Never speak in a voice above 50 decibels; • Never query the price of a lady drink or bar fine; • Never wear socks with sandals.
Emboldened by the success in France of the campaign against the veil, WHORES have just issued a new list of demands which include: • The right to refuse entry to anyone who can’t see their toes when standing up straight; • Anyone who clicks their fingers to get service can lawfully have their bill doubled; • Claims made by foreigners to have once served in special forces, acted as spies or to have vast wealth to result in an immediate ‘ringing of the bell’. WHORES have also announced that they are planning street campaigns where anyone exhibiting any unwanted behaviour or dress will
be kidnapped, drugged and will wake up on stage at the Blue Angel cabaret show. A spokeswoman for the group said, “These foreigners cannot continue in the way they have; they come over here expecting to shag our girls (and boys) while showing absolutely no respect for our customs and culture. Next thing you know they’ll be demanding one year money back guarantees for faulty goods! We see ourselves as being on the front line and this is just the thin end of the wedge.”
