Beard Liberation Front

18th March

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that Tory MP and Shadow Minister Nick Timothy has brought the hirsute into disrepute with his comments about a Muslim prayer gathering in Trafalgar Square.

The gathering in question was lawful and just one of many varied events that take place in Trafalgar Square. Timothy who has recently been defending football hooligans, claimed that the prayer gathering amounted to ‘domination’

The campaigners say that in reality Timothy was expressing a deep seated Islamophobia quite contrary to the traditions of the Beard Liberation Front which believes in religious toleration, as part of a society that respects how people dress, appear and think.

Nick Timothy, a former advisor to Theresa May, is one of the best known Parliamentary Beard Wearers and has featured in Parliamentary Beard of the Year votes. He will now be excluded from any future votes for the foreseeable future.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we don’t often find ourselves agreeing with the perpetually clean shaven Keir Starmer but he is right to call on Kemi Badenoch to sack Nick Timothy as a Shadow Minister.
