Lockdown Beard Week 9. Campaigners demand Government keeps barbers shops closed
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that people should resist pressure to shave off their lockdown beards and return to work until there is clear guidance and a framework in place as to how this can be done.
The campaigners say that the new normal must include a guarantees that make people feel it’s safe to return to workplaces and safe to do so while still wearing their lockdown beards
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, safety must be key to any return to work but so must guarantees that the days of shaving before going to work are at an end. We are calling on the Government to keep barbers shops closed and furloughed for the foreseeable future and to underline that shaving foam is not an essential item.
Barbers shops have re-opened in Poland but the BLF is demanding that they stay shut for the forseeable future in the four nations of the UK. Do you agree?
