Mad Mel

Is it just me, or has Melanie Phillips just crashed across the ill-defined boundary between hysteria and actual certifiable insanity?

I can't wait until this election's over.

It's just you Paul. The rest of us believe it's called Free Speech and everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

I am more worried about you -- what kind of an idiot calls omeone 'certifiably insane' merely because the write something you don't agree with.

I don't suppose her fierce pro Israel and allied stance has anything to do with the fact that she is, ahem, whisper, Jewish?

Nope, she definitely is completely, utterly and dangerously insane. Has been for some time now.

They have her on The Moral Maze to make sure that no one complains about anything controversial in the programme, since anyone with any intelligence is forced to switch off no more than five minutes into it. It's the new BBC strategy, apparently.

I love the idea that she can't sleep at night now. Perhaps it will reduce her ability to peddle filth during the day.

And judyofthewoods, I hope you have noticed that this high-profile (whisper) Jew has no compunction about telling the Church of England how it should conduct its affairs?

It;s not a question of disagreement with her opinions; it's that she has no connection whatsoever with reality yet is convinced of her own central importance to the nation. If she were to express a view I agreed with I'd be embarrassed.
