"I want it to be true, so it must be so"

It looks today like another case of people's desperation to believe things happen and, even when you prove to them that something DIDN'T happen, they say "oh well, that doesn't matter, because it represents a 'greater truth'". The McDonald's "memo" that wasn't, for example, or the letter supposedly signed by Mugabe.

IBTimes published a piece claiming that

"Far-Right Extremists Chased Through London by Women Dressed as Badgers"

(don't go to the story -- it will just increase their advertising revenue from Halifax Bank of Scotland).

The IBTimes story sort of claims a Reuters source, but all that Reuters has to say on the matter (at the end of a piece that focused on Brian May leading a protest) is that

"A Reuters photographer said about 200 protesters took part, some dressed as badgers, others with their faces painted black and white, holding up pictures of badgers with the words "Not guilty" and placards with slogans including "Stop this cruel cull". "

I suspect that the women chasing the EDL guys is a bit of misrepresentation. The photo might be genuine – probaly hired girls for the day to give the badger protest some photogenic faces to increase the likelihood of press coverage.
