Beard Alert issued as flying ants swarm threatens Wembley final
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers which campaigns against beardism, irrational prejudice against the hirsute, has issued a rare Beard Alert covering the whole of Greater London as flying ants have swarmed across the Capital.
The campaigners say that according to a report the flying ants may be a particular issue at the European football final at Wembley on Sunday.

The campaigners note that the ants have a tendency to fly into and become lodged in the beard thereby feeding the oldest pogonophobic prejudice that the hirsute have things stuck in their beards.
The BLF says that the Flying Ant crisis while important is also temporary and will last only for a few days. However during this period beard wearers are advised to wear a snood to protect their follicles against flying ants
BLF organiser Keith Flett said, there have been doubters on social media claiming that flying ants are a ‘local’ problem. The BLF does not issue Beard Alerts lightly and for the moment beard wearers need to take the flying ant swarms very seriously indeed.
