You know, no one has these conversations about McLaren and Sid Vicious, who are, incidentally, where these guys got these ideas from in the first place. And mind you, there were all teenagers at the time they were using swastikas.,.. in like 82. I guess that shit did stay on thier "permanent records." LOL.
Gary Mundy didn't express "deep" regret, only grudgingly admitted he'd made a mistake. The nearest William Bennett got to expressing "regret" was his supporting Peter "Nazi Triumphs" Sotos when Sotos was jailed for child porn
It was more about pure shock than any agenda. Kind-of like how some punk musicians in the early days wore swastikas. It was really about youthful immaturity than anything, and It came back to bite them in the ass though when real Nazis started to infiltrate certain quarters of punk and noise.
I know Ramleh for one expressed regret over such imagery, and the use of offensive imagery in MB's work was pretty much put in without his consent from what I understand.
In the defense of the detractors, many of the compilations that Whitehouse, Sutcliffe Jügend, Consumer Electronics, Leibstandarte SS MB, Ramleh and others appeared on in the early years of those respective bands were obviously potentially offensive (mainly appearing on the Come Org., Broken Flag, and Iphar labels). However, this was all material released over twenty years ago. People change, after all...
Wow, my fucking ears.

Bennett and Mundy expressing regret, what is that all about?
Never heard Tomkins or Taylor express any regrets!
