Beard Liberation Front calls for Labour Manifesto to commit to a Beard Friendly Britain
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has called on the Labour Party to commit in its 2019 Election Manifesto to promoting a Beard Friendly Britain
The BLF is not standing candidates at the Election but is urging parties to pick up on its theme of a more beard friendly and tolerant country.
The campaigners say that with Labour looking to elect the first Prime Minister with a beard since 1902, it makes sense for the Manifesto to also commit the Party to making Britain a more Beard Friendly country.
Examples of measures that Labour could commit to in its Manifesto include a Beard Equality Act which would outlaw discrimination against the hirsute. Such legislation already exists in some US States so it is not as outlandish as Tory pogonophobes will no doubt claim
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, this is a once in a generation chance for a major political party to promote a more diverse and tolerant country by including in its Manifesto policies for a Beard Friendly Britain.
The Beard Liberation Front 2019 Election Manifesto will be issued early next week, following a policy review this weekend
