Best Beard of Lockdown poll: vote against a return to the clean-shaven office
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said with the voting set to close in the one-off poll to find the best beard of lockdown on Friday, author and Arsenal fan Michael Rosen has retained a lead.
However several other lockdown beard wearers could still give him a close shave.
Lockdown has seen numbers grow a beard, as they were working from home in many cases, and hairdressers and barbers were shut.
The campaigners say that its usual quarterly and annual votes for the best beard emphasise their positive impact in the public eye. By definition, such an impact has been very limited during lockdown.
With communication via Zoom, Skype and Teams, it has been possible to identify some contenders for Beard of Lockdown.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, its clear that with Boris Johnson urging a return to the clean-shaven office in August he thinks the age of the lockdown beard is at an end. This poll suggests differently
The vote is open now and will close at midday on Friday 24th July
