In a 2005 interview with David Rowan, the UK editor of, Robinson insisted 'that his involvement with the Conservatives ceased twenty years ago'.On 20 October 2010, following a live report outside Parliament covering the, Robinson silently took the anti-war, anti-cuts placard that had been waved directly behind him throughout, broke it in two and stamped on it.

Shame on you!' Robinson replied 'I'm not remotely ashamed of myself. Why should I be ashamed of myself?' He wrote in his blog afterwards: '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'.

Some days later, Robinson read out a jokily ambiguous 'letter of apology' on the comedy panel show, broadcast on 4 November 2010.On the 22 May 2013 edition of the BBC News at Six, Robinson relayed the news that the in London that afternoon was being treated by the government as a terrorist incident, but attracted criticism after quoting a source describing the perpetrators as being 'of Muslim appearance'.

A report was shown on all BBC evening news programmes later that day as part of which Robinson stated Salmond had not answered his question but had instead chosen to lay accusations against the BBC despite this part of the exchange represented the minority of the exchange.

The full exchange was posted many times on social media. The BBC received complaints from viewers over the implication that Salmond had not answered a question put to him; there was a protest in Glasgow, in which between 1000 and 2000 protestors called for Robinson to be sacked.
