Boris Johnson voted Pogonophobe of the Year
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has named Tory leader Boris Johnson Pogonophobe of the Year as part of National Beard Week.
In an exclusive poll for the Beard Liberation Front Johnson shaved both Nigel Farage and Donald Trump for the annual if perhaps unwanted accolade.
Along with numerous other downsides Johnson has a record of making pogonophobic remarks about beards both in his Telegraph column and at Tory Conference fringe meetings.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, there has been a lot of comment about Boris Johnson’s hair in recent times, but we might also recall that he has never had a beard. There is clearly a reason for that
Boris Johnson’s pogonophobia
we won’t get anywhere by metaphorically acquiring beards and string vests and allotments – but by systematically pointing out the damage they would do.
