SHOT FOR TAKING THE PISS TOM MACMASTER!

Ok, so there was once this blog, about the harsh conditions a lesbian girl was facing in her home country of Syria. Yes, this girl's story was heart wrenching and we all could not imagine living under such circumstances! It became even MORE unbearable and the whole world took note when she was arrested by all the king's horses and all the king's men... How were we ever going to put this poor girls life back together again?

Imagine the surprise when you find out that once again some guy with a brain wave out there thought to himself, "Hey, me, why don't you fabricate a story about someone in Syria facing the harshness of life as a homosexual woman! You can use a random picture of someone living in London, I mean, they will NEVER find out about it, RIGHT?"

So here is a shout out to activist Tom MacMaster! Shot for the story mate, but some advise...although the situations you wrote about are very real, to fabricate such news only discredits the work you have done so far and suffice to say people will not take you serious. Not to mention the woman who's identity you used. Lets not even go there. Then there are the repercussions for the woman who do live in Syria and who are Lesbian...I wonder what they have to say....

Anyway, who knows, this story might have yet another twist so yea...stay tuned for a possible part 3?
