Nigel Farage to grow toothbrush moustache for Movember

Nigel Farage has been praised today after revealing he would be growing a toothbrush moustache in support of Movember. 

An international movement promoting awareness of men’s health issues such as prostate cancer and testicular cancer, Farage said he was thrilled to be able to contribute to Movember’s great work.

“I suppose it’s the thought that counts,” said Movember volunteer Simon Williams. 

“I mean, Movember is all about growing moustaches to spread awareness about these issues. So technically, he has stuck to the general principle of the whole thing.

“His PR people told us it’s because he’s a massive Charlie Chaplin fan, but it might’ve been nice if he’d given us a bit of warning. It was quite alarming at first glance. 

“I just wish he would’ve picked a different style. Perhaps a handlebar moustache or one of those curly moustaches all the hipster baristas have got going on. You know, the type of guys you see riding penny-farthings. That would’ve looked brilliant on Nigel.

“Look, at the end of the day I suppose we’ll take all the help we can get. Elon Musk grew the exact same one, so I guess it’s okay if Farage has the same style too. I’m not entirely sure which charity the red armbands are in aid of, though. I’ll have to look into that.”
