George Pascoe-Watson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Pascoe-Watson (born 1966) is a British journalist. He is currently political editor of the Sun newspaper, succeeding Trevor Kavanagh in January 2006.

Pascoe-Watson was born in Edinburgh in 1966 to an RAF pilot and a nursing sister.

He was educated at George Heriot's School and the Royal High School (Edinburgh). He completed a two-year journalism diploma at Napier College in Edinburgh before working for local newspapers and a news agency and then joining the Sun at the age of 21.[1]

He is fervently anti-European and his critics call him notorious for telling alleged half-truths to his readers such as the fact that the disputed EU treaty will set back Britain's industry for thirty years.[2]

He is reported to be living with Sky News presenter Kay Burley who once concluded an on-screen interview with him with the words: "George Pascoe Watson - always a pleasure."
