Re: Broadcaster Robert Robinson dies at 83
Quote:
Robinson's ability to prick political pomposity with his knack of asking awkward questions brought him many admirers, but also detractors, including a tabloid newspaper, which termed him "the man who sneers at everything."
He himself enjoyed an enduring disrespect for many of the political breed. "It's impossible to make the *******s reply to a straight question," he once said.

RIP.

Re: Broadcaster Robert Robinson dies at 83
I always knew when I heard his voice that I was going to spend an enjoyable half hour whether it was listening to one of his quiz shows or just hearing him refuse to give up asking the establishment figures he interviewed awkward questions.
RIP Mr Robinson.
