Paul Staines

Paul Staines (known by the pseudonym "Guido Fawkes") is an Irish far right political blogger. He is head editor of the anti-establishment 'order-order.com' weblog, which has attracted media attention since it began in 2004 for revealing (sometimes inaccurate) scandals within the British political system. It has been observed that Staines is often far more critical of left-wing figures within the country than he is to their right-wing counterparts, leading to accusations of double standards.

He has been known to make extremist remarks on occasions, telling The Guardian in 2013 that he is proud of "having raised money to kill communists" and expressing admiration for murderous capitalist dictator General Pinochet.
