Beards on picket lines
Dogs on picket lines is a noted feature in social media, but 16th February saw another example of Beards on picket lines.
Beard of the Year Michael Rosen appeared at a poetic picket organised by the UCU as part of current strike action to defend pay, pensions and working conditions. Waterloo UCU, part of Kings College, staged the event at the Waterloo campus at what historically was known as Waterloo Bridge House, the London HQ of Post Office telecoms (now BT).
On Thursday the man who has won Parliamentary Beard of the Year more than any other MP, Jeremy Corbyn, joined a Kings College UCU rally at Bush House in central London
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, said Beard Power on picket lines should be something that will make any clean shaven Vice Chancellor think again (although not all VCs are men of course)and all the more so when the beard is wielded by Beard of the Year Michael Rosen or multiple beard award winner Jeremy Corbyn
