Guidelines for beard wearers on Inter-City trains
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has issued guidelines for beard wearers travelling on Inter-City trains after a picture of Jeremy Corbyn taking a well-earned nap on a Saturday morning train to Scotland appeared in a daily ‘newspaper’.
The campaigners say that the hirsute need to be careful of pogonophobes on long distance train journeys who may get some kind of perverse satisfaction from taking pictures of beard wearers and publishing them on social media.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, it is perfectly safe for beard wearers to travel on Inter-City trains, and I do it myself regularly. However it is important that BLF guidelines are followed.
Guidelines for beard wearers on Inter-City trains.
1] If the train wi-fi is working catching up on important developments is a good way of passing the journey. Keep in mind however that in 2019 you will also be able to check these later.
2] A book may be a useful way of occupying yourself. Any volume of Karl Marx’s Capital, one of the great hirsute books, will do.
3] If by some chance reading this makes you feel tired, a nap is perfectly in order.
4] When napping make sure to cover your face with a copy of an appropriate newspaper, the Morning Star, Socialist Worker etc to avoid any prying pogonophobes.
5] Do not attempt to trim or shape your beard on the train. It may brake suddenly on occasion causing potential damage to the follicles
