BBC Reporter Loses It, Protest Sign Smashed On-Air


Nick Robinson smashes a sign being held by an anti-war protester trying to get on the 6 O’Clock News bulletin.*note; typo not mine. quot; After the news was over, I grabbed the sign and ripped it up – apparently you can watch video of my sign rage in full glorious technicolour on the web. I lost my temper and I regret that. However, as I explained afterwards to the protesters who disrupted my broadcast, there are many opportunities to debate whether the troops should be out of Afghanistan without the need to stick a sign on a long pole and wave it in front of a camera. 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.quot;
