"understood to be a far-right individual"

Likely not born with “little” financial resources as he self described

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)

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 Misplaced Pages, so I have not done that, although it appears Watson's parents were not living in the UK from 2003.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. what? Cannolis (talk) 01:49, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

This is a convicted sex offender who coincidentally has the same name as the article subject. Irrelevant. 2.98.183.194 (talk) 13:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Anti-abortion

Where is it said that he is an anti-abortion activist? Who added this category and why? Is it from one of his videos? Thanks. 2.98.183.194 (talk) 13:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Lack of NPOV

"he helped promote fake news" How is this NPOV? It isn't a quote, it's editorial. It should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:2FC0:F:E123:5FF5:2949:5DEF (talk) 22:15, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Tim Pools Video does not contradict Paul

Video in https://en.wikipedia.org/Paul_Joseph_Watson#cite_note-33 does not contradict Watson's claims as is stated. Tim Pool found no go zones in the linked video. 86.161.47.102 (talk) 17:22, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
