It seems like the Russians are enforcing this ban on beards well with the police forcing men to shave at gun point or threatening to burn them off with a lighter.

Judging by the readers comments this kind of state regulation is popular amongst Daily Mail readers and it may be something that could get some support if it was introduced here or maybe if the law was brought in at EU level.

I reckon that thatch would catch on quite easily if you put a lighter under it

Looks like the trip to Moscow for the athletics will require me to have a shave beforehand.






Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice.
Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

Officially jealous.

Not of a furry face, obviously, just the athletics.






If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas
