Decimated by the shrapnel of his rhetoric
OK then - more on the Bennett business...this is all concerned with Whitehouse/Come Organisation. Some of this is already pretty well-known,, but is worth going through here, I think:
1. In a 1982 issue of the magazine "Interchange", Bennett was given a number of subjects on which he was to answer. He said the following on this:
"National Front/Skinheads: They are an awesome sight en masse in England. They emit such a flood of energy and vitality"
2. In 1982, Come Organisation released a compilation album entitled "Fuer Ilse Koch". Having checked Discogs, I can confirm that track on side is a recording of Imperial Japanese music ("Under The Victory Banner"), and the last track on side B is a recording of a Heinrich Himmler speech ("Europe Lives"). There is also a track by Leibstandarte SS MB (see below)
3. In 1982, Maurizio Bianchi recorded an album for Come Organisation, to be released under his own name. Once the tapes were received from him, they then - without Bianchi's permission - overdubbed Nazi speeches onto the tracks, gave each track new titles, and released the whole thing under the name "Leibstandarte SS MB". When Bianchi got wind of this and complained, Come Organisation then produced a "record contact", and the bottom of it had in small print the words "The artist has no rights to this recording at all".
4. In 1982, "City Limits" magazine ran an article about the PO Box address used by Come Organisation (in Kensington?), pointing out that the same address was used by the fascist group The League Of Saint George. The League Of Saint George were kicked out of this PO Box address, whilst Come Organisation were allowed to remain. Bennett has claimed that he "didn't know" about the fascist group using this address, but also has never made any comment about complaining to the PO Box address owners of this group being there, once the "City Limits" article was published.
There's probably more of this info I can come up with - but tbh, the whole thing is depressing to think about....
