Beard campaigners to push for Beard Friendly Peterborough during By-Election campaign
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that despite local support it has decided not to stand a candidate in the forthcoming Peterborough By-Election.
The BLF is not party political but campaigns for a Beard Friendly Britain. The campaigners say they are concerned that standing a candidate would fragment the vote and, for example, enhance the chances of the clean shaven Brexit Party of winning the seat.
Instead there will be a campaign to get candidates to sign up to a number of principles designed to promote a Beard Friendly Peterborough.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we’ve had a hard look at how we can make a positive impact during the Peterborough By-Election. Given we have long standing support in the City it was not an easy decision to opt out of standing a candidate. However we think promoting a Beard Friendly Peterborough will be a more beneficial outcome.
For a Beard Friendly Peterborough. Initial steps
Keep a close watch on the number of barber’s shops on Peterborough and act to stop any proliferation
Promote beard care facilities throughout the City, allowing beard wearers to check & prune their beards on the go
Make sure that more pubs are beard friendly following the example of finalists in the 2019 Pub of the Year poll, the Bumble Inn and the Stoneworks
