The Beard Liberation Front has said that following the Coutts debacle it has acted to permanently exclude Nigel Farage from ever being a supporter.
Farage appeared in public with a moustache in August 2016.
Farage had been speaking in Jackson at a rally for US Presidential candidate Donald Trump someone who himself has had a complicated relationship with hirsuteness.
The campaigners had called for Farage to shave the moustache as they believed that it was bringing the hirsute into disrepute.
Commentators said at the time that the moustache made Farage look like a 1960s porn star, a sci-fi villain and even Oswald Mosley.
BLF organiser Keith Flett said Nigel Farage is one of those people who is better off clean shaven. For that reason we have decided to permanently exclude him from being a supporter at any time in the future.
Good! Hooray.
