I read in the paper today that A racist group called Combat 18 set off a car
bomb in Brixton yesterday(I think it was mentioned by someone here too), Now If
I'm not mistaken Gary Hitchcock of the 4-skins who sang a few songs like
Plastic Gangsters too is now in a WP band called Combat 18, is there any
connection between them?? Thanks

No, I'm not Combat 84 wasn't a white power band, though their lead singer was a
well known racisr, and they were on RAR, they did not sing WP nor did the
majority of the band Agree w/ Chubby CHris' politics. And Combat 84 was around
the same time as the 4 skins. Combat 18 I think is a more modern band, its
possible that its just a coincidence. I don't know for sure if hitchkock is a
member of the band(or the group), but I'm prettty sure he had some racist
tendencies as he was a member of the Brittish Movement

i don't think they were . . . but don't quote me on that. their politics were
extrememly shady, but frankly, that's true for quite a few oi! bands. what's
kinda funny is a lot of people think that patriot (NC represent, yo) is racist
because of the name. oy. -kim
