Cummings remains barred from Beard Liberation Front despite further overnight beard growth

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that after evidence emerged on Sunday of further overnight beard growth by Dominic Cummings, its stubble/beard advisory panel of beard experts has confirmed that he remains barred from being a supporter of the Beard Liberation Front.
The updated ban relates to Cummings public appearances on 2nd January, 23rd and 24th May 2020 where he has been pictured with facial hair growth.
The campaigners stress that Cummings has not been in touch directly but underline that there is a general expectation that the BLF will defend beard wearers in the public eye unless there is a good reason not to.
Barring someone from the BLF is rare but action is taken when the BLF believes that the association of someone with the organisation may risk bringing not just it but beard wearers into disrepute.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, It remains the case that we don’t bar supporters lightly but Cummings is not someone we feel we brings any positive associations to hirsuteness. We will continue however to take guidance from our stubble/beard advisory panel.
