Never spoke with Leigh Bowery but they were later in Minty together. Nicola Bateman always seemed lovely though, talked to her a fair bit when we crossed paths in clubs.

Never really had any direct interactions with any of that crowd but the fascism thing does tie in with the fact that a lot of their transgression and taboo (so to speak) was directed against conventional liberal mores just as much as against conventional conservative mores. Plenty of casual racism
I mean, similar direction for sure but not quite the same thing I think. Don’t know much about McInnes but 80s provocateurs were interested in shock for shock’s sake - think Divine eating dogshit in Pink Flamingos
True for some people, but I doubt that someone lauding fascism 40 years ago and hosting fascist events today is only interested in shock for shock's sake.
Oh for sure but to be honest I think a lot of the “shock for shock’s sake” stuff was dishonest anyway and acted as cover/permission for genuinely held abhorrent views
