Melanie Philips: ‘rather than telling people what to think…’

August 16, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

I manage to reflect and articulate for them what at some level they already know. In other words, my work is cemented into the middle of the centre ground, otherwise known as Planet Reality.  

This of course is what my detractors cannot possibly admit — because it follows that it is they who are wholly detached from reality, and deny and disdain the experiences and view of the mainstream.

Their only recourse is therefore to sneer and to smear, to substitute personal abuse for argument and to project onto me the label of extremist which applies to themselves.
