Hair, and why its so important

The Ukip peer Lord Pearson lauds Geert Wilders as a "very brave man" and, for the latter's hairstyle alone, one must agree. When a man objects to being described as a racist, it takes a certain sense of gall and irony to puff one's silvery locks into the finest supremacist quiff available on the hairdresser's menu. Maybe it's the way every strand is in such strictly controlled uniformity that makes one look at this hairdo and immediately think "Ah! Racism!" Maybe it's the Satanic-looking point from which it emerges on his untroubled brow. Maybe it's the way one instantly wonders how many copies of Mein Kampf he can store under there. It is a rare day that one is gifted with a chance to describe a man's hair as racist but, truly, there is no other word for this "Toni & Guy meets Himmler" look. If Prince Harry is concerned he has exhausted the possibilities of costumes for fancy dress parties, he is highly recommended to start growing and powdering now.
