Guardian slammed for anti-beard prejudice

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has slammed the Guardian for anti-beard prejudice following its Pass Notes on ‘improbable facial hair’ published on 8^th July

The paper is critical of new trends in beard wearing including the monkey tail and chin beard.

The Beard Liberation Front’s long standing policy has been to support the right of people to dress and appear how they want, although it has been consulting on whether to advise the hirsute against wearing chin beards without taking advice on the possible impact.

The Pass Notes conclude with the claim that ‘all facial hair is terrible’.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Guardian seems to have been specialising in alienating sections of its readership in recent years but we warn them that without the support of beard wearers there will be few readers left.
