Labour Conference may be most hirsute for many years
Mick Whelan, General Secretary, ASLEF
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with this year’s Labour Party Conference in Brighton underway, early indications are that it may be the most hirsute conference for many years.
On the first afternoon distinctively bearded ASLEF General Secretary Mick Whelan chaired the conference, adding significant beard power to the proceedings.
Once the range of beards at conference has been reviewed an on-line poll will be held for those whose facial hair has added the most gravitas
In 2018 the three leading contenders were:
Ben Bellamy, Belper Labour Councillor
Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader
Tosh McDonald,(Ex) President of ASLEF
The winner in 2019 will be announced at the close of conference
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, With Jeremy Corbyn Labour has its first leader with a beard since Keir Hardie. It looks like the message that beard power can win votes is being taken on board by delegates this year
