Campaigners say Tory leadership election reflects the Party’s deep rooted pogonophobia
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the election for a new Tory leader is pogonophobic in character and style.
Pogonophobia or beardism, is an irrational fear of facial hair
With eight out of the ten candidates being men, not one has a moustache let alone a beard.
The campaigners say that if you picked eight men at random in 2019 the chances of none at all having facial hair are small.
The reality is that the Tories remain the party overwhelmingly of clean-shaven men in suits completely out of touch with how a significant number of those they claim to represent dress and appear.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, it looks like the Tories guilty secret is out at last. What they fear about Jeremy Corbyn is not his politics but his beard.
