John Beckett (politician)
John Warburton Beckett (11 October 1894 – 28 December 1964) was a leading figure in British politics between the world wars, both in the Labour Party and Fascist movements.
==Early life==
Beckett was born in Hammersmith, London, the son of William Beckett, a draper, and his wife Dorothy (née Salmon), who had been born into Judaism but abandoned the faith to marry Beckett.〔Francis Beckett ''The Rebel Who Lost His Cause — The Tragedy of John Beckett MP'', London: Allison and Busby, 1999, p. 13〕 According to his son Francis he was christened Jack William Beckett but assumed the name John Warburton Beckett in 1918.〔Beckett, ''The Rebel Who Lost His Cause'', pp. 20-21〕 He was educated at The Latymer School until the age of 14 when his father lost all his money in a scheme ran by notorious swindler Horatio Bottomley and could no longer afford the fees; as a consequent the young John was forced to work as an errand boy.〔Beckett, ''The Rebel Who Lost His Cause'', pp. 15-16〕 On the outbreak of the First World War he enlisted in the Middlesex Regiment before being transferred to the King's Shropshire Light Infantry soon afterwards. He was invalided out of the army in 1916 because of a heart defect.〔Beckett, ''The Rebel Who Lost His Cause'', pp. 18-19〕
