Morning Star journalists create Beard of Autumn poll list record
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with three Morning Star journalists on the Beard of Autumn list of contenders a new record has been created for the number of journalists from one paper to feature on the poll.
The three are the Web Editor, Ben Cowles, Sports Editor Kadeem Simmonds and International Editor Steve Sweeney
The poll is open now and will close on 17th October with the winner announced on 18th October
It is the last of four quarterly seasonal contests which lead to the Beard of the Year in December.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, its early days yet to know if any of the Morning Star three can shave the opposition to win the coveted Beard of Autumn title but we’re sure the hirsute spirit of Marx and Engels will be with them.
