Somehow this relates to a political(?) bombing?!
So I went to the Wikipedia article, and from there ended up at
> The Men's Dress Reform Party (MDRP) was a reform movement in interwar Britain.

which
> saw [the everyday man's] clothes as "depressing"[2] and lacking in creativity
and which was affiliated with the Sunlight Leage. But:
> Then, in 1940, the Sunlight League also dissipated after a bomb destroyed their offices and the death of its founder, Dr. Saleeby.
Emphasis: "a bomb destroyed their offices". What?
This just raises more questions.
...
Also, I wonder if this has any relation to a story by D. H. Lawrence called Sun. Hm.
- PeterisP 3y agoThe bombing likely was caused by a popular early-1940s London activity called 'the Blitz' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz), and while it certainly had political causes, I don't think that it was directly related to the political position of the Sunlight League or the Men's Dress Reform Party.
