Is that part of a blanket ban on 70's celebs?

The article doesn't say all 70's celebs are banned, so you might get lucky if you try Gary Glitter.

DFLA march in London: Far-right protest spills into violence as police officers attacked
A far-right "football lads" march through central London spilled into violence on Saturday afternoon.
Hundreds of supporters of the Democratic Football Lads’ Alliance (DFLA) were marching from Park Lane to Whitehall before some started to push through police escorts.
Dozens could be seen fighting officers, with one seen threatening a policeman and screaming: "I'll kill you."
Meanwhile, several hostile-looking men had to be held back from joining the fighting by their friends.
Many of the DFLA activists could be heard chanting, as they marched down Pall Mall: "Whose streets? Our streets."
Scores of police on horseback, wearing riot gear, tried to control the swelling groups with police vans trying to block them in.
The march was met with a number of counter protesters, including from Stand up to Racism and the Jeremy Corbyn-affiliated Momentum group.
Skirmishes continued in Trafalgar Square. Some masked counter-demonstrators shouted: "Nazi scum off our streets."
A splinter group from the DFLA marchers, meanwhile, aimed vicious insults as riot police sought to keep both groups apart. Traffic was brought to a standstill.
However, the Met said only one person had been arrested.
