Hipsters in disarray

It’s been a torrid time of late for hipsters in Cape Town. Deluxe Coffee Works in Church Street has been without power since Monday afternoon amid speculation that the landlord has not paid the electricity bill. Meanwhile over in Sweden a club of beardie weardies was reported to the fuzz as being members of Isis.

The Independent reports terror police in Sweden have been called to reports of a group of bearded men in dark clothes raising a black flag above a remote castle. But instead of Isis militants, officers responding to the scene stumbled across a meeting of an international organisation of beard aficionados. The Swedish chapter of the “Bearded Villains” met on Saturday for a photo shoot at the ruined castle of Braehus, with members excited to be pictured with the organisation’s black-and-white flag. And while the group might have looked menacing from a distance, when they got closer police found around 30 young men hugging and laughing dressed in formal clothes, not militant garb.
