Far-Right Extremists Chased Through London by Women Dressed as Badgers
Source: International Business Times
A rally by extremists from the British National Party and the English Defence League was dwarfed by opposition campaigners staging rival protests in London on Saturday 1 June.

But in the event, both groups were upstaged by agitators of a different stripe. Decked out from head to toe in black and white, the group that won the day were campaigning for neither for race war nor ethnic equality, but an end to the government's cull on badgers.
And it was the pro-badger campaigners who appeared to steal a march on the political activists.

The Internet will produce no finer headline today. I was driven - nay, compelled - to pass that one along.
There's an easily-pausable autoplaying, unrelated video to the side at the link, just to be warned.
