 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | The changing face of Melanie Phillips
Phillips is different from the other middle-aged men and women with scowling picture bylines: because of her background, her choice of subject, and the quality of her anger.
When Phillips says that modern liberals are "false" and "corrupted", and that "the left have become parasites on decline and disintegration", the biblical language she uses seems sincere, not metaphorical.
Phillips' increasingly apocalyptic worldview, he says, has come from seeing her ideas about how Britain should be reformed, acquired from years of dogged social-policy reporting, frustrated by the inevitable compromises and evasions of democratic governments.

 i hope you get cancer™: Melanie Phillips is a racist scumbag whose words can kill
Today I was moved by the quiet dignity of those of all faiths and none, in London, Leeds, around the country and around the world who remembered last Thursday's dead and demonstrated the unity and humanity that the bombers sought to destroy.
Phillips is a woman who retails the paranoid venom of neo-conservatism and ultra-Zionism, acquired wholesale from the US press and the internet, to her sizeable newspaper readership.
But Phillips is not interested in answers, merely in peddling her own warped and vicious message with depressing consistency.

Melanie Phillips’ “The Sex-Change Society,” widely noted as a comprehensive survey of gender politics in the United Kingdom, largely succeeds at blending factual presentation and political analysis of recent events.

Melanie Phillips' performance was frankly sickening - her arrogance was exemplified upon questioning the audience as to why they were 'laughing'...I do believe that she needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
I would like to commend Melanie Phillips for her comments and as a young Jew living in the diaspora I was amazed at the level of opposition to the state of Israel.
I wish to very sincerely thank Melanie Phillips for her integrity and for having the guts to tell the audience how ignorant they are of the facts involved in the Israeli conflict with its neighbours who have sworn to destroy it.

In a new book, "The Sex Change Society," English commentator Melanie Phillips argues that her own sex is largely to blame for the collapse in moral values that has undermined the family and victimized women and their children.
Phillips concedes that "sanctions were more severe for women who committed adultery than for men," but argues that "this was principally to safeguard the integrity of genetic inheritance.
Phillips believes that men who leave their wives are rightly condemned, but disagrees that women who leave their husbands are any less destructive.

 Melanie Phillips shows how not to defend liberty | Samizdata.net
Phillips' attacks legalisation of drugs, voluntary euthanasia and same-sex marital unions, all causes Fortuyn championed, and avers that such "libertarianism" undermines liberty.
Phillips' analysis is flawed because, ultimately, she cannot see how freedom can flourish without state-imposed restraints.
This is a shame because Phillips does have some good things to say, particularly on how Fortuyn has forced many commentators used to thinking of politics through certain prisms to sharpen up their act.

 [No title]
Melanie Phillips is a British journalist and author, perhaps best known for her columns for the Daily Mail.
In criticising a radical individualism which worships autonomy, and in defending attachments, such as those to family, culture and nation, Melanie Phillips is clearly a conservative in terms of her first principles.
Melanie Phillips is, I believe, a conservative at heart, but she wants politically to be a conservative liberal (or more exactly an older style liberal).

 Melanie Phillips sounds off, and reveals some intellectual chasms
This is the sort of tirade that make the millions of people who are concerned about global warming quietly want to take out a cauldron, and slowly simmer global warming deniers to demonstrate to them in a personal and humane way just what global warming has in store for them.
What you read in Melanie Phillips's farrago of nonsense in her article are the words of an angry women, the snarling, scathing and sarcastic tones of someone fighting their corner who knows they don't have the weapons to do so in any other way, instead of using, for instance, reason or logic.
So when a preliminary finding of great interest, but unconfirmed and of debatable importance in the climate warming debate, it is seized on gleefully as the weapon to batter her opponents with, not realising that she has seized a peashooter to try and scatter an army.

 Oliver Kamm: The Libertine Tendency - count me in
So far as I can tell, my view is not shared by blogger and Daily Mail columnist Melanie Phillips, who believes Portillo will be passing on the 'libertine baton' when he leaves the House of Commons at the next election.
Melanie Phillips often makes valuable and even courageous points on matters ranging from educational and aesthetic standards to the war on Islamist terror, but the passage I've quoted is nonsense.
Shortly before the Iraq war I heard Melanie Phillips comment in a broadcast discussion programme that the anti-war case was an instance of decadence.

 EducationGuardian.co.uk | comment | Ben Goldacre: Research is all about error
On Monday, for example, Melanie Phillips of the Daily Mail wrote yet another attack on the MMR vaccine.
She suggested that the journalists who trusted the new Cochrane review, which shows that MMR is probably safe and not linked to autism, were lazy stooges who took the press release at face value.
So Phillips presents material as experimental scientific research when it has never been published in a peer-reviewed academic journal and is not indexed in PubMed, the standard search tool for finding medical academic papers.

 Jews sans frontieres: Jews ...
Last week I couldn't bear to read Melanie Phillips's article, headed "Vital questions of "right" and wrong", in the Jewish Chronicle, claiming that Judaism is neo-conservatism at prayer.
Funnily enough, I had never realised that redistributing wealth form the poor to the rich, energetically destroying the environment and refusing to accept the rule of law both at home and abroad were so integral to Judaism.
I'd always thought that rabbinic hostility to violence and oppression should lead Jews to oppose empire rather than celebrate it, and that the notion of tzedakah as justice should lead us to give to those in need rather than cut their benefits on the grounds of "encouraging enterprise".

 ParaPundit: Melanie Phillips: Israel Should Unilaterally Separate From Palestinians
Melanie Phillips has an essay in the UK political opinion periodical Prospect Magazine about the need for Israel to impose a unilateral separation between the Israeli Jews and Palestinians.
It is hard to read about the pervasiveness of this sort of teaching in the Palestinian schools and media and still believe that a negotiated settlement is possible.
Phillips has reached the same conclusion I have held for some time: Israel should pull out of the bulk of West Bank and Gaza Strip and leave the Palestinians to entirely govern themselves.

 jewish comment uk israel news
What I find frightening about the tone of this week?s Phillips editorial in the JC is her willingness to tell the readers and the world that her so-called ?right-wing views?
If the BBC thinks her mad and publishers regard her as box office poison, they live in a parallel universe: have any of these people watched Bill O?Reilly, Newt Gingrich or Sean Hannity on Fox News? Next to them Melanie Phillips is a gentle liberal.
Although it is encouraging that a Jewish pro-Iraq war writer, David Aaronovich, received a Journalist of the Year Award in London this week, it is worrying that Melanie Phillips can be received with such venom by major institutions here, and that some publishers revile her.

It is a lot harder, for instance, to develop and implement policy to give people with learning disabilities rights and support to make their own decisions than it is to write a polemical piece.
The first takes years of consultation with the public that Melanie Phillips feels is so disengaged.
If Melanie Phillips thinks that this government is a bunch of liars who aren't trying to make a difference, then I think she should make more effort to find out what politicians are really doing.
