After Telegraph picture ‘confusion’ campaigners urge Sajid Javid to grow a beard
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has urged Health Minister Sajid Javid to consider growing a beard after a report in the Daily Telegraph confused him with Education Secretary and long time beard wearer Nadhim Zahawi.
The campaigners say that while the Telegraph’s error was deplorable, it still raised the question of whether follicly challenged Mr Javid would add gravitas by growing a beard.
As far back as 2015 Zahawi urged Javid on twitter to grow a gravitas adding goatee in the style he himself wears.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we have long suspected the Telegraph of pogonophobia and worse, and whether Sajid Javid chooses to remain follicly challenged or grow a beard is entirely a matter of personal choice. However he might find that a designer goatee would add further to his Ministerial presence.
