my, my. Archipel Gulag is rearing it's ugly head. He does not hold "far right opinions", which can be discussed and which could change. We designate him as a "far right individual", marking and outlawing him as a *person*, and I guess he deserves what he's got coming. Where is Solzhenitsyn when you need him? --85.255.236.77 (talk) 13:12, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
The pathologization of political opinions doesn't worry you? It worries me. Any individual can change any viewpoint given new information. This article is designed to pigeonhole Paul and paint him as untrustworthy regardless of the accuracy or recency of his information using terms like "conspiracy theorist" and linking him to other "cancelled" celebrities. It's labelism and it needs to stop. My fear is that the pro-left academics at wikipedia will keep crying wolf and writing Doxxing articles until the public stops listening and we reach a point-of-no-return. Personally I have already stopped listening. Wikipedia's harsh censorship and biased rhetoric has radicalized me against all things left-wing. Further radicalization will occur until and unless conservative biographies are written with a neutral viewpoint. 124.169.149.140 (talk) 03:48, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Defending a proven far right racist, whose roster of content is complaining about all the non-whites in Europe, and inventing conspiracy theories you were already "radicalized" sir, seeing that you see no issue with this behaviour. 75.61.144.195 (talk) 04:17, 19 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Anyone disagreeing that he is far right need to understand that “far right” encompasses many different ideologies. Just because he isn’t Richard Spencer doesn’t make him centre right by any means…SinoDevonian (talk) 18:37, 6 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

From Nico Hines @ The Daily Beast:
“According to Watson’s birth certificate, Land Registry records, and Sheffield council, however, the story may have been a little more complicated; think stunning countryside vistas rather than the projects.
Watson was born on May 24, 1982, at Jessop Hospital in Sheffield to Philip and Hazel Watson. They registered their second son’s home address as School Lane in Grenoside, a suburb to the north of the city, which residents said had retained its traditional village atmosphere. Sheffield council said the house has never been in public ownership, so the records suggest he was not born on a council estate.
Over the next 20 years, the Watson family would live in a series of similar communities that run along the leafy northwest suburbs of Sheffield, separating the city from the picturesque Peak District National Park.” 153.33.46.22 (talk) 13:28, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I have added parts of this resume to the article, and created an early life section. Including the street names probably counts as an invasion of privacy for the purposes of Wikipedia, so I have not done that, although it appears Watson's parents were not living in the UK from 2003.
