I boggled until I read which paper she writes for...
I hate to stick up for the Daily Mail even a little bit, but that's slightly unfair. Melanie Phillips is England's Ann Coulter, and would be a vicious unhinged scribbler of incoherent right-wing hate material whoever she wrote for.
(I particularly "liked" the one where she blamed the death of a young drug addict from illegal impure drugs on campaigners for legalising and controlling drugs. No logic at all, just pure shriek at the 'left'. But that was just a highlight, she basically never makes any sense or lets up on the hating)
Only slightly unfair though; it's because they are who they are that they employ creatures like Phillips.
