Tory Ex-MEP Daniel Hannan makes false ‘can’t grow a beard’ claim
Former Tory MP Daniel Hannan has written in the Sunday Telegraph (27th Sept) criticising the trend towards beard wearing, while claiming he can’t grow one himself anyway.
His piece begins:
I wish I could tell you that I had gone clean-shaven on principle. I could then write a column about how beards carried the stale whiff of Corbynism, how they were redolent of scruffy lecturers on their way to SWP meetings imagining that they looked like Marx or Lenin or Trotsky….
The Beard Liberation Front says that Mr Hannan’s grip on reality on issues like Brexit has seemed to many doubtful in recent times and this has been amplified by his approach to beards.
As recently as 2018 Hannan did in fact have a perfectly reasonable beard.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we suspect that the real reason Daniel Hannan shaved his beard off, while oddly claiming he couldn’t grow one, was because he realised that if he wore it any longer he would become a Marxist.
