Keith Thompson is a veteran figure in the British far-right who has been active in a number of movements down the years.
An Odinist,[1] Thompson was a leading member of, speaker for and election agent and candidate[citation needed] of Oswald Mosley's Union Movement, which he joined in the 1960s whilst completing his National Service in the Royal Air Force.
[2] In 1973 the UM was renamed the Action Party and was led by Jeffrey Hamm, Mosley's secretary.
[5] Thompson was the first leader of the League of St George when it was launched in 1974 and he has remained a leading figure in the organisation, but has never officially endorsed any political party, although in 1982 he did share a platform with John Tyndall and Ray Hill on a speaking tour following the announcement of the formation of the British National Party.
Thompson continues to run Steven Books, as well as a more recent venture, the Searchlight Victims Support Group, which is opposed to the work of the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight and has actively sought to recruit from the Trades Union Congress.
