MICHAEL ROSEN & RICKY TOMLINSON SPLIT HAIRS IN VOTE FOR REAL ‘ORGANIC’ SANTA OF THE YEAR
While Michael Rosen posted on social media that he was proud to share the award with Ricky Tomlinson he also reasonably suggested a verification check on the vote as it was tied. Beard Liberation Front Scrutineers have checked the 5,700 votes and have a found evidence of a small number of votes from ‘Clean Shaven Santas’. These votes have been invalidated but made no difference to the result as they were distributed equally
The Campaign for Real Santas, which campaigns for Santas to have genuine organic or knitted beards, has said that author and broadcaster Michael Rosen and actor Ricky Tomlinson have split hairs in the annual vote to find the ideal organic Santa of 2024.
With a total of 5,700 votes cast both got 41.1% of the poll and the Real ‘Organic’ Santa 2024 title is split between them
The nominations for Real Santa of 2024 are:-
Ange Postecoglou, football manager
Lenny Henry, Actor
Michael Rosen, Author & Broadcaster
Ricky Tomlinson, Actor and Activist
The Campaign for Real Santas believes that only Santas with genuine, organic or knitted beards should be deputies for Santa, world famous for his organic beard, in the run up to Xmas
CFRS organiser Keith Flett said, We don’t know for sure that any of the people on the shortlist do help Santa at this time of year but we do think they are potentially excellent role models for real Santas as opposed to the absurd false bearded types. Both Michael Rosen and Ricky Tomlinson have iconic organic beards and the gravitas to be a genuine organic Santa
