Re: Les Petits Bon Bons-they hosted @ThrobbingGrstle 'Last Supper' meal in LA 1981-also David Bowie Ashes to Ashes orig 7" cover features ode to Bon Bons. 2 stamps down under 'Move'. The Bon Bons did their own sheet of stamps.Jerry Dreva met Bowie & gave him a Bon Bons package.
More on Les Petits Bon Bons, as featured in A New Bohemia on Pet Shop Boys’ Nonetheless lp. In 1975 Robert Lambert (Bobbi Bon Bon) produced a visual history in Egozine. Here are a few pages, including their appearance in People magazine
Latest from me: on what happens when suggesting people might be left to drown becomes a normal part of the right's discourse: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
A New Bohemia is a stand out song on the new Pet Shop Boys album Nonetheless. It mentions a group called Les Petits Bon Bons: here’s a picture of the original Bon Bons, radical gay glam rock media stars, in 1973 LA. From right, Bobby and Jerry Bon Bon
A New Bohemia by @petshopboys is so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. "Where have they gone, Les Petites Bon-Bons? Who dances now to their sweet old song?" My dear friend Bobby Bon Bon survives & just emailed me. He's so touched by this homage. Thank you thank you❤️

On this day in 1976 the Sex Pistols played the Nashville and there was a fracas. A few days later the NME printed a letter by Neil Tennant describing the event. Source: Phil Singleton's site philjens.plus.com/pistols/pistol…
Bought OTD in 1971: a welcome blast of needed energy. You get Danny Whitten, Jack Nitzsche, Nils Lofgren, the presiding presence of NY. Not a duff song here (11 including a future #1) but Beggars Day, Downtown, Dirty Dirty, I’ll Get By, Gone Dead Train 🔥
@JonSavage1966 Robert “Bobby” Cutler was the closeted gay man who drafted Executive Order 10450, which prohibited the federal government from hiring gay and lesbian people, and set the Lavender Scare in motion. The EO remained in full force until 1973. theguardian.com/books/2018/dec…
Published at the height of the Lavender Scare, the McCarthyite persecution of homosexuals, an early issue of the homophile magazine One from April 1953
Bought OTD in 1969: their peak. First side has Save and America but side 2 is cracker after cracker: witty, pointed, stoned, tuneful and Beatle obsessed. I never used to like Mrs. Robinson much but now think it’s amazing

Sending the first 300 migrants to Rwanda costs £1.8m each. To put that in context, school funding is around £7,600 per child per year. So the cost of sending one migrant to Rwanda would get 234 children education for a year. Is that a good use of money?
NEWS: The Festival-style Alexander House in Finchley (1960) is set to be demolished, after C20's listing application was rejected. Designed by Montagu Evans for the Anglo-Dutch Cigar Co, it features a striking mural by Indian abstract artist Avinash Chandra, which we hope to save
No. They don’t understand because our history has become so warped that the social revolutions of the 1960’s/70’s have been twisted into miraculous events where everyone spontaneously agreed and all the bad people were soundly defeated forever without inconvenience or discomfort.
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
Not a word from the Conservative Party about racism in Facebook groups with links to Tories, but one tweet calling out their shocking conduct and they’re up in arms. As for deep trouble, Liz, look at the damage your short-lived premiership did to our country. You are shameless.
This is disgusting from @wesstreeting. If this is the future of the Labour Party, they are in deep trouble.

Susan Hall is an insipid, incompetent fifth rate candidate with all the charisma of a crisp packet. Her policies are aimed solidly at owners of old, polluting cars and Sadiq Khan hating out of towners. That the Tories thought her suitable just shows their contempt for London.
1 May 1944 | A Polish Jewish poet Itzhak Katzenelson (b. 1886) was murdered in a gas chamber in #Auschwitz. He wrote "Song of the Murdered Jewish People.” Thanks to a passport from Ładoś Group he left Warsaw to Vittel detention camp & later Drancy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itzhak_Ka…

1 May 1932 | German Jewish girl, Ruth Bogen, was born in Cologne. She emigrated to the Netherlands. Deported from #Westerbork to #Theresienstadt ghetto in September 1944 from where she was deported to #Auschwitz on 4 October. She was murdered in a gas chamber upon arrival.

Just fucking obscene. There's nothing illegal about claiming asylum. This treatment is abominable, an appeal to the worst instincts of the worst people. An affront to our better nature.
The (astonishing) images accompanying this press release are telling a very particular story - very tough indeed on immigration
Integration always favours the dominant force within the given narrative. Back off. Hold your own. It’s your life, so live it. The consensual is a hoax.
