Paul Weston, 51 years old, is leader of the political party Liberty GB, which has a principal focus on resisting the threat of Islam. Paul has been involved in this sphere of politics for seven years, initially as a writer for sites such as Gates of Vienna, and has been actively involved in politics since 2010 when he was a UKIP Parliamentary candidate under the leadership of Lord Pearson. Paul left UKIP soon after Nigel Farage returned and made it plain Islam was off the table.
