Gateway to Hell Belgium Day 2, 17/09/05

Today was the start of the Belgian Thomas Cook campaign.  A couple of weeks ago, we sent their Belgian CEO Hans Swinnen a polite letter asking them to stop selling Mauritius holidays.  But as we didn't got the response we wanted, it was time for action.
Once again our Dutch comrades came to join us.  We started in Antwerp.  At this TC outlet (Sint-Katelijnevest 68) we informed the general public about TC's dirty business with Mauritius.  The lady who runs this outlet told us about her disgust over the Mauritius trade!  Dear Madam, it is now up to you to voice your disgust to your CEO Hans Swinnen. Thank you for your compassion.
 
After Antwerp, we went to the headquarters of TC in Gent (Tramstraat 65).  TC had organised a recruitement day for new employees, so what better way to make our point to the management and new employees then visiting them.  When we arrived, they quickly closed all entrances so that nobody could come in or get out.  Half of TC's management team, including their CEO, was outside together with the future employees.  We told all of them very loud and very clear what we thought about their evil business!  Dear Hans, we passed the point of 2 way communication, now it's only one way communication until you drop Mauritius.
When we left, there were 2 girls leaving with us.  After they heared about TC's disgusting trade, they left asking us for extra leaflets and told us they wouldn't dream of working for such a firm!  Good thinking girls!
 
Finally we went to the TC outlet in Gent (Vlaanderenstraat 4).  The employees were too ashamed to talk to us so they locked the doors.  Very embarrassing for your customers TC! First they had to pass peacefull protestors who educated them , then they had to wait until somebody from TC let them in and after that they had to let them out again to be confronted by the shameful truth about your business with Mauritius.  We don't think that this is very good PR! Many people just didn't have the stamina for this and just walked away.  Loss of income, TC, is this what you want?  Is Mauritius so important for you to lose business over?
 
So, why not do the sensible thing TC and send your customers to other places then that hell hole Mauritius.  From the moment you take this positive decision, we will leave you alone!  Otherwise you're gonna see much more of us in future!
