Nick and D*ck?

Today it was Nick Robinson and Richard Madeley making some pretty stupid remarks.

First to Nick Robinson who was speaking to Dr Mary Bousted (National Education Union) who called out the presenter after he describes her possible successor as an ‘extremist.’

Addressing how the unions still want teacher strikes to continue, Robinson said: “You know as well as I do that there are some extremists who would love to cause massive disruption.

“Indeed, some people who say the man who is running and likely to succeed you as leader of this union is in your eyes, an extremist.”

“Well, how would you describe your successor then, if not as an extremist?” Nick Robinson then asked.

Memebership

Mary then replied: “I wouldn’t describe either of my successors as extremists.

“General secretaries don’t decide policy for the union. They have an executive and they have a membership.

“I do not have…” Bousted began, before interrupting herself: “I think this is quite outrageous actually.

“You’re bringing what is a really serious issue about the future of teachers, about the current state of teaching in the classroom, down to personalities.

“I think that is really base, I’m really sorry you’ve done that, Nick.”

“Oh no, it’s not base – you just said, ‘Nobody thinks something,’ and I just said, ‘Well, some people do think something,’ and that was all.

“But you’ve made the case for why many many teachers and many of your members may still choose to reject the offer and take up industrial action.”

Let me guess. The "some people" Nick Robinson describes here are the Tories?

Wouldn't that be balanced? Just refer to the Tories as "some people" from now on. What opportunities!

Richard Madeley

now over to ITV and Richard Madeley raised eyebrows after he compared climate activists to paedophiles in a GMB segment this morning.

It comes after the news that over 100 lawyers have signed a ‘declaration of conscience’, which will reject those who get in trouble for protesting eco-related matters.

“These barristers and lawyers have announced that they will not prosecute,” the presenter said.

“They simply won’t even get started in a court of law, someone’s who glued themselves to the road…are they still happy to defend say, paedophiles?”

Richard Madeley is one of those who, had he a voice at the time, would have described the Suffragettes, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela as terrorists.

Note to Richard Madeley – if you do not have anything sensible to say please don’t say anything.

Gary Lineker did NOT compare this govt to the Nazis, he criticised the language as being akin to 1930s Germany, nowhere did he mention Nazi. Yet tory shill Richard Madeley was peddling the lie @GMB that he was. Despite Kevin Maguire's best efforts Madeley ignored. Complete prick.

Twitter Trends get it so right and so wrong@bbcnickrobinson does belong in Entertainment rather than News – even though he isn't entertaining
But Richard Madeley belongs in Shop Lifters not TV Stars
The last one – I haven't checked – must be another Tory MP in some new sleaze https://t.co/irb4P4tcjq

Or simply…

Richard Madeley is an arse.

That's the tweet.
