Sajid Javid urged to back a Beard Friendly Britain after new beard gets abuse
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has urged ex-Chancellor Sajid Javid to back the principles of a Beard Friendly Britain.
It comes after the MP’s new beard attracted abuse when he appeared on ITV on Wednesday morning. Follicly challenged Robbie Rinder claimed that Javid looked like Brutus.
The BLF has contacted leadership contenders Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss to see if they back a Beard Friendly Britain. Responses are awaited
The BLF has several areas where it would like to see more beard friendly policies:
A luxury shaving tax on all items such as razors, shaving cream, balms. Shaving is environmentally unfriendly
A crack down on the proliferation of barbers shops on High Streets
A specific Beard Friendly policy in the Civil Service
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we welcome Sajid Javid’s distinguished new beard and hope he will back our call for a Beard Friendly Britain
