On Adam Boulton’s Sky News show The View today, I discussed some of the opinion pieces in the morning newspapers with Nigel Nelson, the political editor of the Sunday Mirror. We covered the US Democrats’ sudden concern that the urban riots may be harming Joe Biden’s chances in the presidential race, and the attempts to persuade the British public to go back to something resembling normal life despite continuing concerns over Covid-19.

One more thing…
Welcome to my new website. This is how it works.
There are two subscription levels: my free service and the premium service.
Anyone can sign up to the free service on this website. You can of course unsubscribe at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” at the foot of each email.
Everyone on the free list will receive the full text of pieces I write for outlets such as the Jewish News Syndicate and the Jewish Chronicle, as well as links to my broadcasting work.
But why not subscribe to my premium service? For that you’ll also receive pieces that I write specially for my premium subscribers. Those articles will not be published elsewhere. They’ll arrive in your inbox as soon as I have written them.
My latest piece for premium subscribers looks behind the US Democrats’ sudden concern that the urban riots may be harming Joe Biden’s chances and finds a worrying long-term trend. Subscribers can read this here.
My previous premium post deals with yet another disturbing example of the premature sexualisation of children in the classroom. Subscribers can read that here.
There is a small monthly fee for the premium service, with a discount if you pay annually. The fee is charged in US dollars but you can sign up with any credit card. Just click on the “subscribe now” button below to see the available options for subscribing either to the premium or the free service.
My original website — melaniephillips.com — will remain accessible as an archive of work published before September 2020.
Finally, a word about me
If you were previously on my weekly list, you’ll be familiar with my work. But just in case this email has been forwarded to you by a friend, I thought it would be helpful to tell you a little more about me.
I am a British journalist with a weekly column in The Times of London. My broadcasting work includes regular appearances on the BBC’s Moral Maze. Among my published books is my 2018 novel, The Legacy, which is about antisemitism.
I have been writing for more than 35 years about the mounting challenges to western culture and civilisation. I remain as committed as I have always been to standing up for truth against lies, justice against injustice and freedom against tyranny.
Over the years, however, I came to believe that many of those who I had thought shared that commitment were in fact promoting falsehoods, injustice and abuses of power. I believe I speak for the silent majority who have become increasingly dismayed by the erosion of rationality, conscience and respect for our shared humanity.
I hope you enjoy the new service and I’d love to know what you think of it. Do let me know if you have any concerns. Just reply to any of the emails I’ll be sending you and I’ll do my best to help. And thank you once again for following my work.
