[Best. Headline. Ever.](http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/473597/20130601/bnp-edl-hate-fascist-badgers.htm) And the story even has a pic of the women dressed as badgers. ---

Personally I thought this particular clip hit 9 on the weirdness scale: > **[Brian May: Badger cull 'will not work'](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-22742175)** > > Celebrity campaigners Brian May and Bill Oddie joined protesters at a rally in London opposing a proposed badger cull aimed at tackling TB in cattle. Yes, its a woman in a rabbit costume wearing a badger mask, the mind, it boggles. 😃 ---

[Mandatory link](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgers). Come on you knew someone was bound to post it. Better get it out of the way now. Regarding the event, it is interesting to see that the badger counter-demonstration was organised by Brian May, former Queen guitarist. ---

> [@detop](#): > > Regarding the event, it is interesting to see that the badger counter-demonstration was organised by Brian May, former Queen guitarist. Yeah. You really can’t report on this story without including that part. Also, have the [best version](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0apsOhWV2M) of the badger song. ---

And yet they choose to bury in the sixth paragraph the fact that BRIAN MAY himself was the leader of the pro-badger faction? ---

(also, just to go serious for a second, isn’t it great that the BNP et al can only drum up fifty or so little snots to march on the streets with them, but the anti-racist group got “hundreds”. In yer face, white supremacists) And now, back to…BADGERS! [More Badgers](http://imgur.com/ZdY7JTR)! ---
