Beard Liberation Front says LibDem Manifesto is a missed opportunity
Spencer Cavendish Liberal Leader 1875-1880
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers has said that the Liberal Democrat General Election Manifesto is a missed opportunity to address pogonophobia.
While there are general statements on equality & action on discrimination there is no reference to a Beard Equality Act.
The campaigners say that generalities are no substitute for specific and costed measures designed to address discrimination against the hirsute.
Unlike in many US States it is mostly legal in the UK to discriminate at work or socially against someone because they have beard.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Jo Swinson is a disappointment. She appears to have no grasp of the pioneering role that the Young Liberals in particular played in promoting facial hair in the 1960s and 1970s
