Inveterate and famously hirsute letter-writing leftie Keith Flett fallen victim of the extremes of sectarianism. In his passionate campaign against pogonophobia, or beardism, Keith appears to have got his beard in a bit of a twist and is backing Boris Johnson to be Mayor of London. After a “robust” debate among its supporters, the Beard Liberation Front says that, in a clean-shaven race, the Tory hopeful, in spite a recent visit to the barbers, remains easily the most hirsute candidate. A victory for Boris, says Keith, will be a powerful symbol that it is not necessary to be a smartly-dressed man in a suit to win an election. On the contrary it would show that a candidate can look like they’ve just ridden through London on a bike after sleeping rough all night and still pass muster. One problem, Keith. Surely this decision is sexist since it excludes the Greens’ Siân Berry, whose pre-Raphaelite tresses make her by far the most hirsute in the race.
