Melanie Phillips Biography

Melanie Phillips is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on June 4, 1951 in Hammersmith, England, United Kingdom. Melanie Phillips, a British journalist and author, was born 4 June 1951. Her career began writing for The Guardian, New Statesman and other publications. She began to identify more with ideas associated with the left in the 1990s. She currently writes for The Times and The Jerusalem Post. Phillips quotes Irving Kristol and describes herself as a liberal who “has been mugged by reality”.

She is a strong critic of Iran. She has spoken and written frequently about the threat it poses, especially if it acquires nuclear weapons. She writes that the Iranian regime has “been at war with the West since 1979 when it was elected to power and has been involved in almost every terrorist attack against it.” She believes Iran’s leaders “are religious fanatics” that are “impervious” to reason and “would be happy to see an apocalyptic ending of days.” If force is to be used, there is no other option than force. Her hardline approach has been criticized by many commentators.

Phillips has appeared as a panellist on the BBC Radio 4 programme The Moral Maze and BBC One’s Question Time. She was awarded the Orwell Prize for Journalism in 1996, while she was writing for The Observer. Her books include the memoir Guardian Angel: My Story, My Britain.

Since 2003, she has written a blog, once hosted by The Spectator, but following her resignation from the magazine in June 2011, it is hosted on her website. In September 2013, it emerged that her Mail column was to end, although according to Phillips, the newspaper wanted her to continue to write features and other articles for it.

Phillips is against the scientific consensus regarding climate change. She argues that there is no evidence of global warming. The seas aren’t rising more than normal, the ice isn’t decreasing, but it is increasing. And the temperature is falling, not increasing. She believes that the warming observed between 1978 and 1998 has stopped, and that global temperatures have stalled. She also argued that the “man-made global warming theory” has been supported by studies that many scientists dismiss as flawed or ideologically bent. She wrote that the claim that ocean acidification is acidifying oceans by CO2 emissions is a favorite of climate-change alarmists and that coral reefs are at risk from ocean acidification was overplayed.

Phillips was a journalist at the Evening Echo in Hemel Hempstead during her probationary period in Canada, which was then mandatory for the profession. She spent a brief time at the New Society magazine after she was awarded Young Journalists of the Year in 1976.

In 1977, she joined The Guardian newspaper as its social service correspondent and social policy writer. She was the paper’s first news editor in 1984. She defended the Labour Party during the split with the Social Democratic Party in 1982. In 1987, she began her opinion column. Phillips, while working at The Guardian, was persuaded by Julia Pascal to write Traitors, which she directed. The play was first performed in the Drill Hall in January 1986. It was written during the 1982 Lebanon War. The play centers on the moral dilemmas faced by a Jewish journalist, who must decide whether to veto a piece in anti-semitic tone and whether to publish a leaked document regarding the Falklands War. John Peter, a Sunday Times reviewer, described the play as “a play with blistering intelligence and fearless ethical questioning” but he thought it was implausible. Phillips wrote the review in December 2017 and it was the only positive. Phillips quit The Guardian in 1993 saying that her relationship to the paper and its readers had turned into “a really horrible family argument” and that she had witnessed the “reality that the west had lost its moral compass.” Phillips moved her opinion column from The Guardian to The Observer’s sister-paper The Observer in 1993, and then to The Sunday Times

1998. She began her association with The Daily Mail in 2001. She has also written for The Jewish Chronicle, The Jerusalem Post, and other periodicals.

In All Must Have Prizes, published in 1996, Phillips offered a critique of the British education system, saying that an egalitarian and non-competitive ethos (progressivism; multicultural education) had led to a catastrophic fall in standards. She criticised John Dewey’s “disastrous influence”. A subsequent paper said that “Phillips gets Dewey quite wrong,” for example in claims that Dewey promoted ahistoric and cultureless education. Phillips criticized one academic paper—on primary-school children’s constructions of British identity. Its authors responded with a follow-up study, showing that young adolescents, in common with their counterparts in primary schools, adopt a pluralist viewpoint with virtually no nationalist or racist comments.
