Campaigners mark 10 years of the I Paper: a beard friendly decade
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has marked 10 years of The I Paper by celebrating its beard friendly decade of publication.
Hirsute newspaper Editors were once as rare as BBC TV Newsreaders with beards but the I Paper started with Simon Kelner in 2011 and since 2013 Oly Duff has been in the Editor’s chair.
Only Stefano Hatfield presided over a brief clean shaven interregnum between Kelner and Duff.
Simon Kelner was named Hirsute Personality of the Year in 2011 while Oly Duff was runner up for Beard of Winter in 2014.
It is unparalleled record in UK Print Media in the Twenty-First Century.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we are pleased to recognise the I Paper’s Beard Friendly decade. Beard Power is an important issue in 2020.
