What is the attraction? I can remember when he was business editor at the BBC.
He's a feckin act. Nobody takes that long for their thoughts to reach their mouth. Talk about deliberate.

He's an establishment shill Velvet and a very poor journalist, he tweeted a question the other day that most of the UK knew the answer to...He never checks facts he just repeats what he's told to... sadly the days of proper journalists in the uk are a rare sight, I can only think of 3/4 and he certainly wouldn't make the list. Most of them are presenters, not journalists.

I could tell you a lot about him, but I'll stick with that voice he uses is completely fake
Robert Peston built his reputation for being a dogged critic of the Labour Party and its economic policies. He made very valid points of that government but as soon as the Tories got in all that crusading noble journalism evaporated and he became toothless. Establishment shill indeed.
And what is it about this news/personality type, Peston and Jeremy Vine, Paxman also, who feel they always have to shout the end of their sentences?
