North Korea declares war on Ealing – after barber makes joke about Kim Jong-Un's barnet
NORTH Korean officials are so angry over a barber’s advertising campaign mocking their bonkers leader Kim Jong-Un's haircut they have made an official complaint to WHITEHALL.
BIZARRE: North Korean officials went to the Foreign Office to complain [NATIONAL]
Staff at M&M Hair Academy used a poster of murderous tyrant Kim Jong-un with the slogan "Bad Hair Day?”
The joke is that loony leader Kim – who recently put to death a rival using a flame-thrower – has decreed his strange choice of barnet should be worn by all young North Korean chaps.
The salon in Ealing, west London, was approached by bossy embassy officials – who work just 10 minutes away – demanding that the funny sign be removed.
The barber refused and the altercation ended when both parties called the police.
But that wasn’t enough, the Foreign Office has now confirmed that North Korean employees have lodged an official complaint. 
JOKE: Karim Nabbach couldn't believe the reaction [AP] Barber Karim Nabbach, 26, said he hasn’t heard from the officials since. He added: “We haven’t had any trouble since then, if anything the poster has become a tourist attraction.
"It was just something that had been in the news, and the North Korean officials didn’t even have the haircut.
“We always put up little offers in the window, it’s harmless. We were just making light of a bad situation in North Korea.”
Scotland Yard said it had spoken to all parties and no arrests have been made.
North Korea is an isolated dictatorship where proverty is rife and crystal meth drug use common. Kim is a warlike leader who, when not squandering the country's meagre resources on weapons and personal luxuries, is capable of enormous cruelty.
Last year, believing his uncle to be disloyal, he murdered him after a show trial ... and many of uncle's family have vanished.
