BEARDS FOR A LABOUR VICTORY GROWS SUPPORT*
by George Charles Beresford, sepia-toned platinotype print, 1905
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, which campaigns against irrational prejudice against the hirsute, has said that Beards For a Labour Victory is growing in support.
It is hoped that despite continuing media pogonophobia that on 13th December Britain will have, in Jeremy Corbyn, its first Prime Minister with a beard since the Tory PM Lord Salisbury in 1902.
Beards for a Labour Victory says that of the three Party Manifestos Labour’s is the only one that can be seen as Beard Friendly with its commitment to workplace equalities representatives.
It is hoped that over time with a hirsute Prime Minister in N0.10 Downing St that a Beard Equality Act to outlaw pogonophobia can be brought forward
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said let’s face it, Boris Johnson is never going to grow a beard, he has enough trouble remembering to comb his hair, while the Liberal Democrats, if positively promoting diversity in political leadership, have completely ditched their hirsute heritage. It is time for Britain to have a Prime Minister with a beard, the first for 117 years.
Beards for a Labour Victory is supporting hirsute Labour candidates across the UK and in particular calling out instances of pogonophobic prejudice against them.
*following a review the name Beards for a Labour Victory has been preferred to Beard Wearers
