Paul Martin Laurence Weston (born 1965) is a British far-right politician, the chairman of Liberty GB and a member of the Pegida UK leadership team. An activist and blogger, Weston joined the UK Independence Party (UKIP) in 2010 and stood as a Parliamentary candidate for Cities of London and Westminster. In 2011, Weston left UKIP and joined the now-defunct British Freedom Party with members of the English Defence League (EDL) and former members of the British National Party (BNP).
For Liberty GB, he was a candidate for South East England in the 2014 European election and for Luton South in the 2015 general election. He came last, with 158 votes (0.4%).
He was married to an immigrant from Romania. He was the President of the English branch of the International Free Press Society founded in 2009.
Weston has articulated a variation on the Frankfurt School conspiracy theory that the neo-Marxist intellectuals Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse, along with the Hungarian Communist György Lukács, had devised the tactics of "cultural terrorism" with "political correctness". He claims that this has led to deindustrialisation, mass-immigration, the weakening of the nation-state, as well as for the decline of the nuclear family, traditional morality, religion and education.
