The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that criticisms of the beard of Green Party leader Zack Polanski are unwarranted.
The campaigners say that as the only main party leader with a beard Polanski faces prejudice from those who dislike or hate facial hair- pogonophobes. This usually leads to the belief that something is being hidden under the beard and The Times seems to have become obsessed with ‘investigating’ this.
Zack Polanski has yet to win the coveted Beard of the Year Award but in the seasonal Beard of Spring 2026 Award held at Easter he polled well.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we feel that Zack Polanski faces discrimination, often unstated, because he wears a beard. It is a persistent and rather ugly feature of British politics particularly when its considered that there has not been a Prime Minister with a beard since the early 1900s
