Nick Robinson Compares 'Bullying' Pro-Scottish Independence Protesters To Putin's Russia
Nick Robinson has compared the "bullying" protesters who called for his sacking during the Scottish referendum campaign to something out of Vladimir Putin's Russia - and been pilloried for it on Twitter.
The outgoing BBC political editor condemned at "intimidation and bullying" of journalists during the campaign, which prompted other journalists to hit out at the ferocity of campaigners for attacking journalists, particularly on social media. Robinson's latest comments earned him flack, as he argued with left-wing commentator George Monbiot about whether he was smearing the protesters and whether the SNP had any role in the protest.
It also unleashed a torrent of abuse, including, as is inevitable in online outrage storms, someone comparing him to the Nazis, in a storm that novelist JK Rowling became involved in. Robinson, who is joining Radio 4's Today programme, was accused of bias in the last days before September's independence referendum after getting into a confrontation with then-first minister Alex Salmond over the BBC's coverage of a story about the possible relocation of RBS.

Such utter low life's many of these SNP supporters.
David Starkey was so right.
I wonder what Darth Sideous would make of the SNP and their supporters?
