The beards have it

Suddenly, beards have become fashionable. The Secretary of State for Wales, Stephen Crabb was the first Conservvative Cabinet Member to sport a beard for more than a century. Now, Jeremy Corbyn's own facial features are setting a fashon.

As the Times reports, Ed Miliband has been spotted sporting a rugged new facial growth. And he has already won many fans for the new look with many saying that if he had looked like that back in May they might have voted for him.

It has often been the case that the reasons why people vote are many and varied. The, appearance of candidates is often one reason. Does this mean that beards are making a comeback? Will we see many more candidates growing one in future? I do not intend to do so but I would not be surprised to see this trend appear during the Assembly elections next year.

Post a Comment

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.

Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.

I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.

Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.

The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
