Just in case you missed this from today's Sun. I only saw the Simon barnet in the flesh, as it were, for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I too found it ridiculous - but then I'm only jealous my days of being able to grow such luscious locks are long gone:
LABOUR backbencher Sion Simon (he of the spoof Cameron video that backfired) has taken a lot of flak in recent weeks for growing his hair long. The Whip is informed that Sion's unclipped locks are styled on the hairdo favoured by the young Gordon Brown in the early 1970s. Sion has misfired again. The Chancellor has seen Sion's hairdo and thinks it is "ridiculous". If Sion wants a job in a Brown government, he needs to get himself to the barber.
