1. Wattie is a bit if a racist. Has swastika tattoo, associated with neo-Nazis.

In one interview he managed to insult both Mexicans and Pakistanis in one sentence.

2. they are absolutely not a racist band, they have shared members and toured with Oi Polloi

a fellow Glaswegian band who are hard left anti fash, anti racist, for instance

they also have played a shedload of Rock Against Racism gigs

and appeared with so so many of the biggest punk bands in history for decades, bands that would never associate with them if they were racist

below is an interview with Wattie and his brother talking about a lot of this

Link to tweet

Interview with Wattie and his brother Wullie from "The Exploited." Wullie has been playing drums for the band since 1983, and Wattie is the original and lead vocalist in the band. Wullie discusses his involvement in animal rights. In this interview, Wattie explains how he is against fascism and racism, he tries to clarify rumors. Wattie and I continue to talk about the anarcho punk band Conflict, on one of the original members of The Exploited, Garry, from the Punks not Dead album, and Wattie's view on protesting, and more.

thus is probably my favourite song by them

The Exploited - Alternative

Scottish punk band who have a track record for decades of anti fash and anti racism music
