@avfc4_alex Hi - just so you know, there is now only one side in the UK that still continues to use full-face black makeup, and they are not part of any of three morris organisations, who all voted to stop the practice several years ago: https://t.co/FU0xFm3AJS

Just seems a shame for this controversy to continue to be rehashed because newspapers can't be bothered to do 2 minutes of research...
@dranneguy@BasGazette There's actually only one team left in the country that still uses blackface and they are not part of the mainstream organisations, who all voted to stop the practice a few years ago now. This team (@HookEagleMorris) no longer use it, so the paper have used an old photo.
The judges have had their say, but now it's time for you to help us pick the inaugural Tradfolk Morris and Folk Dance Performance of the Year Award. Vote now!

@missdcox Lots of people saying blackface morris in your replies, just wanted to add that thankfully this practice has now been effectively stopped and the UK's morris organisations no longer accept any team that continues to use it:

Some great words from @Ellie_Gowers here on being part of a morris team.
Most sides will be back in practice after summer (including us!), so now is the best time to get in touch with your local team and give morris a try!
