Boris Johnson on ‘tree hugging tofu munchers’

In Uncategorized on October 21, 2022 by kmflett

Some deranged Tory MPs and even the great holidaymaker himself appear to be planning a return to No,10 for Boris Johnson.

It’s worth recalling where Johnson stands on the key issue of the day: tofu.

Speaking to the United Nations on 23rd February 2021 Johnson opined that climate change was a serious matter and not just for ‘tree hugging, tofu munchers’

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has welcomed the news that Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister. The campaigners say that while she was approached during her campaign to be Tory leader about adopting Beard Friendly policies she declined to engage.

The BLF is calling for an immediate General Election and a Prime Minister who embraces beard friendliness

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, while the last Prime Minister with a beard, Lord Salisbury, was a Tory we see no evidence that the modern Tory Party is beard friendly. We think a clean shave of Tory policies and a new follicle friendly Government is needed

THE CRYPT DOOR SWINGS OPEN ON THE SCARIEST HALLOWEEN BEARD POLL

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, which campaigns against irrational prejudice against the hirsute, has said that the crypt has creaked open on the Scariest Beard of Halloween 2022 poll with the first round of the poll now open.

The title, awarded each year on October 31st, takes a wry look at Halloween festivities by identifying the scariest beard in the public eye. The winner is likely to win by the narrowest crack of a squeaky floorboard.

The BLF does not generally believe that beards are scary, a view promoted by generations of pogonophobes.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, facial hair is part of Halloween tradition. We aim every year to subvert some of the pogonophobia that lies behind that,  while looking in a light hearted way at ‘scary’ beards.

Voting will open on October 20th

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has claimed victory after the Suella Braverman the Home Secretary resigned on Wednesday.

On Tuesday in a House of Commons speech which she had pre-prepared Braverman said:

it is the Labour party, the Lib Dems, the coalition of chaos, the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati and, dare I say, the anti-growth coalition that we have to thank for the disruption we are seeing on our roads today. I urge Opposition MPs and Members of the other place to take this second chance, do the right thing, respect the rights of the law-abiding majority and support this Bill.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, its clear Ms Braverman had beard wearers in her sights. We are proud to be part of the Coalition of Chaos and delighted the Home Secretary has resigned. Beard wearers will continue to be the enemy within

Suella Braverman: Beyond Tofu & Culture Wars, the Right to Protest is under threat

Suella Braverman: Beyond Tofu & Culture Wars, the Right to Protest is under threat

A week after being sacked by the last Tory PM Braverman is back and can continue her discipline and punish regime on those exercising what was previously the democratic right to protest

When last Home Secretary, just over a week ago, speaking on the latest Tory Public Order Bill in the Commons on 18th October she read out some pre-prepared words designed to turn the whole thing into another Culture War:

it is the Labour party, the Lib Dems, the coalition of chaos, the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati and, dare I say, the anti-growth coalition that we have to thank for the disruption we are seeing on our roads today. I urge Opposition MPs and Members of the other place to take this second chance, do the right thing, respect the rights of the law-abiding majority and support this Bill.

But the hard right Home Secretary was actually introducing measures that are designed to take much of the democratic right to protest

Part of Braverman’s proposals include the ability to obtain an injunction against ‘persons unknown’ who are:

persons not presently taking part in a public procession or public assembly protest but who will in future join such a public procession or public assembly.

In other words people who the Government or police think may be thinking about a protest

As the socialist historian E P Thompson said, protest and survive

Cost of living crisis in Tottenham.50% spend less on food; 50% cut heating

In Uncategorized on October 19, 2022 by kmflett

The TUC which is meeting this week in Brighton has launched a new tool to allow people to check the impact of the cost of living crisis in their area.

The statistics for Tottenham don’t make pleasant reading.

50% have reduced spending on food

Over 15% have skipped meals

50% have cut back on heating as the cold weather arrives

It is a political crisis caused by the Tories that has huge impact on the many rather than the few.

There is a political answer to it too: a General Election to eject the Tories from Office

Beard Liberation Front guide to eating Tofu

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has told the Commons that behind the current Just Stop Oil protests are Guardian reading tofu eaters.

The Beard Liberation Front is concerned that where supporters are eating tofu based food that they do so both in a beard friendly manner and in a way that avoids arrest under Public Order legislation.

1 When buying tofu make sure to wear dark glasses to avoid recognition

2 Once at home draw the curtains to make sure you are not spotted with tofu by Braverman’s Wokery police force

3 If cooking tofu in blocks after marinading make sure that all the marinade has been absorbed so that none goes in the beard. Also make sure that the tofu blocks are of a suitable size to go in the mouth without interfacing with the beard

4 Make sure you dispose of all evidence relating to tofu eating securely

Suella Braverman plans injunctions on those ‘likely to protest’

The Public Order Bill currently in the Commons is an illiberal and authoritarian measure designed to restrict further the democratic right to protest. The Home Secretary Suella Braverman who like her predecessor Priti Patel is determined to criminalise protest has now added an amendment which would allow injunctions against likely protesters.

Those who Ms Braverman thinks are likely to protest include Labour and LibDem voters, Guardian readers, the woke, tofu eaters and of course the anti-growth coalition. There is no explicit mention of the real enemy within, beard wearers. Yet…

TUC heralded as beard friendly as era of clean shaven Starmerism yet to dawn

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has hailed the first face to face TUC for three years as beard friendly.

Not so long ago Congresses were dominated by clean shaven men in suits. However the TUC now reflects the diversity of the modern labour movement including good representation from hirsute delegates.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, its clear that the era of clean shaven Starmerism beckons but we are pleased to note that beards are still allowed and indeed celebrated at the TUC
