Beard Liberation Front
8th March
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has barred Robin Simcox, a Government advisor on extremism for bringing the hirsute into disrepute.
Mr Simcox has appeared in the media on regular occasions focused on his dislike of Palestinian demonstrations in London. His background is with the US Heritage Foundation which supports Donald Trump.
The campaigners say that the Beard Liberation Front is a broad based network comprising beard wearers and allies with a wide variety of attitudes and beliefs. However Mr Simcox appears to be intolerant of anyone whose political views he dislikes
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we bar very few people. For example while Tory MP Jonathan Gullis is sometimes barred from specific beard awards after incidents, he is not barred from supporting the BLF. Mr Simcox has gone too far and is giving beard wearers a bad name
