Congratulations offered as Adam Jogee set to become only 2nd ever Haringey Mayor with a beard
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has congratulated Labour Councillor Adam Jogee, on becoming Mayor Elect of the North London Borough of Haringey this week.
He will become only the second ever holder of the office with a beard since it was created in 1964/65.
The other hirsute Mayor was former Councillor Stephen Mann who was Mayor in 2017/18
The campaigners say they support the principle of a wide diversity of public office holders but with only two Mayors with beards in over 50 years there is still scope for improvement
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we congratulate Cllr Adam Jogee, a noted BLF supporter. His period as Mayor of Haringey will underline that there is progress in hirsute history.
