4. THE JEW-HATING JAILBIRD WHO NAMED HIS DOG AFTER MAX

KEITH GIBSON: Political secretary of the Union Movement (UM). A ‘frothing’ anti-Semite who in 1952 was jailed for a month for telling a fascist meeting in London: ‘Hitler had the right idea about Jews. The Jewish Chronicle [newspaper] stated that six million Jews were exterminated. That is all lies but even this figure would not have been enough.’

A few weeks before Ridley Road he visited the site of Dachau concentration camp with Max Mosley, joking that he should write ‘Good try, but not good enough’ in the visitors’ book. Served in the same Territorial Army parachute unit as Max.

Gibson lived above the UM HQ and named the building’s guard dog Max, after Mosley junior. Jailed again for violence at a political meeting in London. An important liaison figure with other European neo-fascist groups, he ran the bookshop at UM HQ, stocking a wide range of racist tracts.
