ahh - don't want to do too much back and forth on this - while that may be so (Paul Swain did later join Skrewdriver... he was only in the 4 skins for a year) - they were still not a 'fascist band' like no remorse, skrewdriver etc - they had more in common with the rejects, cock sparrer, menace  etc.. and took the all too easy 'apolitical' stance. Hoxton Tom was a suedehead who was very involved in the mod revival An ex member of oi polloi went on to play in skrewdriver too and they are renouned as being possibly the most political and anti fascist band in Europe.
