The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has expressed concern about an article which demeans the BLF in the Sunday Express, 1st Jun 2025.
The main thrust of the article is the BLF’s concern about the wearing of false beards in early Harry Potter movies
The article claims the BLF is ‘bizarrely named’ but the films the article writes about were made over 20 years ago.
The article concludes by attacking the beard of BLF Organiser Keith Flett
Meanwhile, Keith’s own bushy Karl Marx style beard has been taunted publicly and even called a “garden gnome affair” by the Evening Standard.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, its an odd story even by the standards of the Express. The underlying issue seems to be around JK Rowling and transphobia. For the record since one of the BLF’s founding principles is that people should be able to dress and appear as they want we are of course fully in support of Trans Rights.

But how many bearded ladies do you have in your membership? Hmm? Just tell me that.
I am Fletty. Clearly the excess not understanding parody. Anyway, more importantly, how is your cat?
