Name: Nick Robinson BBC Position: Journalist and Political Editor (1986 - ) "Nicholas Anthony "Nick" Robinson (born 5 October 1963) is a British journalist and political editor for the BBC. Robinson was interested in politics from a young age, and went on to study a Philosophy, Politics, and Economics degree at Oxford University, where he was also President of the Oxford University Conservative Association. Wiki "Well, when I left the BBC to join ITV, my producer found a bit in the archives of an absurdly politically correct young Robinson with a lot of hair, talking about what young people wanted. And what young people wanted was jobs for the unemployed and disarmament and world peace. So I was what they used to call in those days "wet Tory"." Guardian

an absurdly politically correct young Robinson with a lot of hair, talking about what young people wanted. And what young people wanted was jobs for the unemployed and disarmament and world peace. So I was what they used to call in those days "wet Tory" This of course is the same guy that just over a month ago... After Nick Robinson concluded his report from Westminster he turns around and seeing a placard being waved behind him, grabs and breaks it. Obviously humiliated to think of how his report would have been seen by viewers, instead of the way he perceived it to go. When a demonstrator told him he should be ashamed of himself, he replies 'I'm not remotely ashamed of myself. Why should I be ashamed of myself?'To further highlight the self-importance with which he regards himself, he goes on to say 'I am a great believer in free speech but I also care passionately about being able to do my job reporting and analysing one of the most important political stories for years.'
So this is a wet tory? I'd call him a lava tory!
