Infamous neo-Nazi skinhead band member dies of 'Covid complications' in Co Antrim hospital

[tenderfoot]

One of Ulster's most infamous far-right activists has been laid to rest after passing away on New Year's Day with what was reported as "Covid complications."

'Big Merv' Shields was a leading member of the notorious white power Nazi band Screwdriver, where he played the bass guitar for several years on at least three albums.

He played at many White Power concerts and was instrumental in the notorious Blood and Honour neo-Nazi music network.

The music was loud and racist and promoted a whites-only agenda as well as being staunchly loyalist - one of their biggest 'hits' was called Smash The IRA.

But it was a silent ending for 'Big Merv' as the guitarist and drummer was left to play one last 'solo' at Roselawn Crematorium in east Belfast where he was cremated without anyone present on Wednesday.

:snip:

Shields played on three albums, White Rider, After the Fire and Warlord.

He moved to London in 1983 and joined Skrewdriver three years later but also went on to play with other groups including The Suspects and Catch-22.

He always retained his political views and regularly attended the annual Ian Stuart Memorial Blood and Honour rallies and still firmly believed in a whites-only country up until his death.

Now now... don't grave dance too hard on this deceased Nazi dirtbag - that would be mean - no different than the way HIV patients were treated back in the 1980s, when they proudly boasted of their status and wouldn't stop having unprotected sex because FU.
