This could have gone in the Headlines thread, but the whole story is cool:

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

I am particularly heartened by the fact that while the BNP and EDL turned out about 50 people, the antifascists UAF and HNH turned out considerably more, and both were dwarfed by the protest against badger culling.

Turns out badger lovers tend to be antifascists too.

Young women dressed in fake fur were seen chasing doughty nationalist supporters down London's Whitehall as a large number of security forces in iridescent jackets looked on from police lines.

I can't find it now but there was also recently a situation where a dozen or so vaguely right wing types were protesting outside a mosque, so the Muslims put the kettle on and they all had a cup of tea and some biscuits and ended up playing soccer together.
