I am not Jewish, but Melanie is as on so many things so correct. But the rot of Woke goes deep in modern collapse of real values. Climate hysteria, absurd Ed Miliband policies, Starmer etc etc, do they they not see? No, not the end of European Jewry, but perhaps one day a wakeup call, and that could start for us westernerswith reading the Koran and its true motives....
As an old Israeli, it would be with tremendous sadness that I would see European Jews, once again, forced to leave their beloved homelands. However, if Europe is unsafe, so is Israel. Their decision to come to Israel must be made on more than the quest for physical safety. Israel is a tough country in almost every way, especially for those who come from England's green and pleasant land. Or from la douce France. If UK Jews are to find a true home here, their decision must be above all a spiritual and moral one. It surely requires a wrestling with oneself and resultant clarity on what it is one wants from life, on what is most important. It might be about a richer Jewish life (religious or secular), about family and social values, about self-respect, or other human treasures. It would be a formative decision, as life changing as getting married, or having children. Whoever undertakes it, should view it as an irreversible decision. Otherwise, it will be hard to take root here. Unfortunately, Jews have rarely come to Israel out of free and happy choice. To think, if only Jews had responded with courage to the Zionist call in the first three decades of the 20th century, how much blood and anguish might have subsequently been spared! When I try to imagine what a large influx of European or American Jews might do for Israel, and what it might do for them, it takes my breath away. But I don't often indulge in this fantasy of the double blessing. Still, whoever you are, whatever you decide to do, here or there, may you be strong and courageous. חזקו ואמצו.
I think you are right in making courage the heart of the matter. At first I was surprised by that word, but the more I think abou it the more right you are. A Jew who immigrates to Israel is moving to a very dangerous place.@@gilashmueli5904
Yes, amazing woman. She is honest and so very well informed. She speaks and writes clearly and so straightforwardly. Rereading All Must Have Prizes...brilliant book.
NOT everything , she is wrong about TRUMP. Also has TDS syndrome. TRUMP WOULD BE GOOD FOR ISRAEL AND USA AND THE WORLD AGAINST TERRORIST FORCES AND IRAN AND RUSSIA. AND CHINA OF COURSE!
i sympathise totally with the Jews in Britain🇬🇧 as a white Christian English man im beyond disgusted and revolted by the rabid anti semetic behaviour in the towns and cities . God Bless Jews everywhere
@RayCyst310 Most people were not fighting for or against an ideology they knew very little about. They fought to defend a country that the victors have finally taken away from us.
How I love to hear and admire Melanie! Her reading of British politics is very clarifying and her comments on Thatcher made me understand the reasons why the cultural war was lost in Britain.
Love Melanie. She has paid a heavy price over the years for speaking truth and right. In many ways she is like the great Douglas Murray like that. Melanie was right and the last 20 years has born that out and unfortunately will keep proving she was right too.
@stephendoherty981 ??? Oh yes because they are so crazy and completely off the mark? I will be laughing at the likes of you within 5 years as you don't have an easy escape plan. Uk, us, Canada, Australia, new Zealand amd western Europe are all totally screwed now
As a British man now living in Canada, I can tell you that the ex. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was NOT an antisemitic man. His great crime was to show compassion towards the subjugated, imprisoned Palestinians in Israel. It was the pro Israeli lobby in Britain which concocted bogus stories about him and various "Jewish " members of his party in consort with the pro Israeli media which eventually brought him down. Truth be told. Corbyn was too much of a nice guy to survive against these well funded powerful sharks in our political system.
Perhaps Zionism, while understandable and even desirable from an idealistic viewpoint, has not turned out to be a practical project to implement. Too much time went by from the dispersal by the Romans to the modern resettlement for it to ever work. It has proven over the last nearly 100 years to be unworkable. It was unfortunate that the populace proved so troublesome for the Romans that they got driven out.
I didn’t think a Labour government was going to be a particularly good thing for Britain but listening to Melanie I’m convinced it’s going to be an extremely bad thing for the UK and our relationship with Israel.
She talked of conservatives and conserving things. The Palestinians tried to "Conserve" their land, their ancient way of living, their homes, businesses and familes. But unfortunately because of organized terror and acquired weapons from Britain and France, they were unfortunately unable to "Conserve" any of those dear things.
One can learn that she cares little to nothing about the free choices people in Britain have with respect to selecting their own government. I would love to hear her response to the recent right wing , pro Israeli thugs who were ginned up by the pro Israeli, ex. Convict Tommy Robinson to go to the streets and cause mayhem in many peaceful towns and citys throughout Britain. This mob enacted a pogrom against every brown and black person they could find on the streets. Especially those of a Muslim faith. Half of them were fired up by messaging sent out by Nigel Farage, showing a bogus report that the seventeen year old "British born Rwanda parented" boy who murdered the three young girls was a Muslim recently off a refugee boat in 2022.
They would be much wiser to lean back on Yahweh their God rather than politicians in the world. The Old Testament reminds us of their failures over and over and they haven't learned. The God of this world is not asleep, He has given us the story of how this will play out already if they would only wake up and pay attention. He will save them in the end if they have faith in Him.
What a powerful and wonderful woman! I have watched many interviews of and speaking appearances by Ms. Melanie. I am always deeply impressed by her intellectual prowess and forceful passion about the crucial cultural and political issues of our times. I have tremendous respect and admiration for Jonathan as well, so this interview is a total treat despite the ominous implications of the subjects at hand. Thank God for both of you!
Regarding Melanie's reluctance to engage in predictions about Labour's and the UK's political future, I'll bravely take the perilous stroll out onto a shaky limb of prognostication to say that the Labourite left's obsession with climate change and "net zero" will prove to be it's political downfall. If Labour passes it's Draconian agenda to abolish fossil fuels for transportation and domestic energy production, it will lead to economic chaos and political collapse in the name of global climate change. As divisive as mass immigration and wokeism is for British culture, one thing that will inevitably unite virtually all Britons regardless of political stripe in opposition to Labour's reign will be its catastrophist green energy policies. When costly and grossly inconvenient mandated all-electric transportation and unaffordable electricity and home heating fuel devastates the national and individual economies, the population will revolt. When the average Islamist taxi driver and the personally conservative Yorkshire farmer can no longer afford to pay for a liter of petrol or a cubic meter of natural gas to heat his home, they will be united in their white hot hatred of the Labour politicians who've brought them to their economic knees. Mark my words. It will come sooner rather than later.
She is clueless with regards to geopolitical positions. Iran is now a firm friend of both Russia and China. If America attacks Iran , Russia has already pledged to come to its aid. Once Russia is involved, China will naturally follow. She should be watching what the BRICS nations are doing and saying instead of dreaming of an outdated world where the USA was king. Ninety percent of the people in the world see Israel as a reckless pariah regime, constantly murdering innocent children and their parents. No one but the American elites, the Evangelical movement, the European elites support Israel in its attempt to ethnically cleans the indigenous Palestinians.
She is only right in the minds of thosevehomagree with her. I am sure many millions around the world would find her to be a narcissistic conniving Israeli shill.
Thank God for this worthy woman who say's it as it is. I was totally unaware of what things were like in the Middle East until I started following Melanie. God Bless her.
I am an Indian, I have listened to Melanie's contributions regularly on BBC moral maze. I hear her concerns. I will always support the Jews and Israel. Long live Israel.❤
I was 20 as the 80s rolled in. I marched for gai rights, I felt happy being a liberal conservative and by the time Blairism was ushered in, women's rights were secure,gai rights's were secue, religious rights were secure, immigration happened in ameasuredway and empoyment was high... then the EU happened, the euro was created. There was a referendum for that which included Shengen. I was a trader at that time and we didn't like it and I remember what the media was telling us; that we had to do this to be strong against America and the USD... what happened to Schengen? and there was no open antisemitism until the muslim numbers went remarkably up! Everywhere in Europe!
Your problems with muslim immigration have nothing at all to do with the EU. That, you achieved all by yourselves. Your governments always had full control over immigration, they blamed the EU rather than admit to their own mismanagement of immigration, be honest.
Again, it's mismanagement by national governments. Though Angela Merkel made a grave mistake, however, none of us even dreamt what the repercussions of that would be, though the Germans themselves were very unhappy about it.
Thank you for this brilliant conversation. Melanie Phillips always impress me with her analytical skills and broad knowledge. As to your question: Yes I think they should leave Europe and come to Israel. Europe's loss will be Israel's gain.
Three quarters of a million jews left Israel in the weeks after the 7th. October attacks. They are not moving back anytime soon. Until Netanyahu and his right wing Apartheid government stop committing genocide on the Palestinians, Israel will remain an extremely dangerous place to live.
Thank you for interviewing the brilliant Melanie Phillips on this show. It was disheartening to hear that having a Jewish wife does not mean the new Prime Minister will be better for Jews and Israel. Leftism trumps all else. "Human rights" activates for all except Jews.
Having a Jewish wife should not in any way sway the prime minister's decisions in parliament. He should make decisions on behalf of his electorate, not his relatives.
The electorate are the last under consideration when decisions are made, that is old politics. In the new politics, consideration is prioritized on what the WEF says, and what other supranational institutions say, like the UN and its agencies, WHO, IMF, IPCC and policies like Agenda 2030. The electorates’ only function is to generate tax revenue.
I agree with everything Melanie says. I am pro-Israel and I have always been. I know my history and the truth. And, as Melanie describes I fear the future and the intensity and the escalation of what is happening? Now today and I feel terrible things might happen overnight. I dread our future.
@@MIke-m1c8k No. Roughly 20% of the population voted for Liebour. The other 80% either voted for someone else or just didn't bother. Probably because there wasn't really anyone worth voting for. The majority of this country does not support them. That is an important fact to remember. Corbyn lost the election with more support than Starmer won with. Just because we were sick of the Tories doesn't mean we actually wanted Labour.
Thank God for raising up the voice of Melanie Philips during these darkest times in Britain. This woman speaks the truth about what is happening in the country where I live.
This is an outstanding discussion and one of the best analyses of the 'British political predicament' anywhere. There are long sequences where Melanie beautifully sums up the situation re Islam, Islamism, demographic destiny and the inherent danger to Western civilisation from the above. She describes that reality, she explains it with perfect clarity and, on the odd occasion, with a striking and justified brutality. Thank you Melanie Phillips
Have you seen the TH-cam video ofcthe German Protestant Christian priest being assaulted by three young Israelis in Jerusalem a year ago ! These Zionists care little to nothing for Christians. Read the book called "how Zionism hijacked Judaism " by Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro. He is an American Rabbi who knows more about these two opposed groups than anyone.
Have you watched the TH-cam video of three young Israelis assaulting and spitting on the German Protestant priest in Jerusalem three years ago ? These messianic Zionists care nothing for Christ or Christians.

I was most interested in your comment Melanie, that British Jews don't really understand the times. At the end of the Second World War, one several of my fathers Jewish friends commented that they couldn’t understand why the Shoa. Hetoldthem Hitler wrote it all down in "Mein Kampf".

In Australia there is a parallel Muslim Vote organisation trying to do the same thing threatening several Labour Electorates. But the Labour Party in Australia doesn’t have anywhere the majority British Labour has.
The establishment of four million Muslim vote bank in Britain is the beginning of the end of British Britain. This form of colonialism of India is what ended up the in the most violent and illegal Partition of India in 1947, and unfortunately, that story has still not ended in India. Now it’s the turn of Britain to front up to its own collapse. France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden…… are not too far behind 🛑

The good news is that there are more good people than bad. The bad news is that good people are compassionate, forgiving, understanding and consequently easily intimidated by the bad.
Actually the Labour Party got 34% of the vote, just over 20% of the problem. Farage's ReformUK Party has an Alliance with the Northern Irish Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), and managed to elect an MP, who has taken the ReformUK whip.
The perception Trump is an isolationist is wrong. If he is one why did he push NATO members to increase their military budget, why did he pushed for Abraham Accord? Trump simply put America, her interests, her exceptionalism first.
I have enormous respect for Phillips. Her observations are insightful. But her pessimism re democracy and France and Islam is terrifying for Jews. Antisemitism resulting from the Islamic arrival in the west and their capacity to influence elections has become a major concern. Gadaffi and his prophetic words “We’ve won, you’ve lost!”when he came in from the cold are no longer in dispute. Idiotic politicians such as Blair and Merkel who trumpeted about multiculturalism and its benefits should be ashamed of themselves. The Caliphate has begun.
The vast majority of British voters did NOT vote for Labour. Only 22% of the entire electorate did. On a lowest turnout for years, 33.4% of the votes actually cast were for Labour. They have no mandate.
It was far more a case of Britain rejecting the “traitors, quislings and collaborators” that are the Tory party, in the hope that Reform can become an actual alternative to the WEF/WHO crowd
Pope Benedict was on the right path about it and promptly got cancelled for his speech accurately identifying inhumane ideas in that worldview. No matter his mistakes that speech was more than any other popes did in the last 50 years.
What Church there are hundreds of different churches in the Christian family the Greek Orthodox Church, the Coptic Church, Roman Catholic, Anglican Church, Armenian Church, Methodist, Mormon, many different churches and sects. The problem is often Christian Leaders are too busy arguing ovet interpretations of the Bible and various rituals then together and speak together as one voice in support of the Jewish people as followers of Jesus who was himself a Jew.
I really LOVE this interview with the wonderful Melanie! I'm an American Jew, SUPER-MAGA (yeah, I know there aren't many of me, LOL). I'm amazed and enthralled by the brilliance of Melanie ... I just discovered her on your wonderful channel ... Now I'm searching for more of her interviews on TH-cam. Thanks so much for your GREAT GREAT GREAT channel! Long live Israel! May God continue to protect her for Judas Joe and Cackles Kamala!
There is a swing back in Europe! Germany is closing down many Mosques, Denmark is getting tough on immigration. Ireland is fighting back. Poland won’t have any immigration enforced that is. Gert Wilders has had a huge majority in Holland. People have had enough of what has been foisted on them. The Pendulum is swinging.
I just discovered Melanie by this podcast. She is breathtaking. She is an absolutely incredibly deep, bright, and articulate woman. I should mention I am an American Jew. And Melanie's depth of knowledge about our American politics, English politics, and Israeli politics makes her very unique. I'll be sure to buy her books and I'm looking forward to watching more of her on TH-cam. Thank you for this fantastic podcast.
Farage stands for absolute common sense. He tells the truth. He is an absolute British Patriot. We also know that business and economics make the world go around. He is very anti illegal immigration. His party is Reform and if we want England back he is our only hope!
Have you not heard some of the antisemitic conspiracy theories spread by RefUK candidates? or heard about how Nigel Farage allegedly treated jewish students at the private school he went to? They aren't the answer

Oh everything was better when you were a kid that’s crazy I bet nobody else has had this experience in all of human history
Fascist troll
@@vhscoverstory5671 Did someone step on your big toe ?
Very sobering and absolutely correct.
Thank you for this brilliant conversation. Melanie Phillips always impress me with her analytical skills and broad knowledge. As to your question: Yes I think they should leave Europe and come to Israel. Europe's loss will be Israel's gain.
Moronocracy is unbeatable
@@ronelltofte1665 they should but they are not. In fact 500,000 have left Israel ,since the begining of the genocide ,and are relocating to Europe. 🤔
God is setting the final stage
@@blueeyesftlaud6593 this is an adult discussion on politics. Please leave folk tales and metaphysical fiction to yourself.
Three quarters of a million jews left Israel in the weeks after the 7th. October attacks. They are not moving back anytime soon. Until Netanyahu and his right wing Apartheid government stop committing genocide on the Palestinians, Israel will remain an extremely dangerous place to live.
Really enjoy programmes where the interviewer lets the guest speak without constant interruptions. Well done.
Thank you for interviewing the brilliant Melanie Phillips on this show. It was disheartening to hear that having a Jewish wife does not mean the new Prime Minister will be better for Jews and Israel. Leftism trumps all else. "Human rights" activates for all except Jews.
Having a Jewish wife should not in any way sway the prime minister's decisions in parliament. He should make decisions on behalf of his electorate, not his relatives.
The electorate are the last under consideration when decisions are made, that is old politics. In the new politics, consideration is prioritized on what the WEF says, and what other supranational institutions say, like the UN and its agencies, WHO, IMF, IPCC and policies like Agenda 2030. The electorates’ only function is to generate tax revenue.
The same in Sweden ❤️
80 per cent of the UK did not choose Labour.
Melanie you have an amazing grasp on current political environment in EU and elsewhere.
Melanie Philips, the most sensible and honest person ever to speak.
Britain did not choose Labour. 22% of the electorate chose Labour OK?
Melanie is absolutely brilliant! Her point of view is clear and based on truth and reality. Sadly, the reality is frightening to us all.
I agree with everything Melanie says. I am pro-Israel and I have always been. I know my history and the truth. And, as Melanie describes I fear the future and the intensity and the escalation of what is happening? Now today and I feel terrible things might happen overnight. I dread our future.
Britain didn't choose Labour Britain got Labour
@@jackyr301 you must br an American, a troll or a fascist. Most likely .....all three.
Britain chose Labour, democratically and emphatically with a very large majority.
@@MIke-m1c8k it wasn't exactly a big turn out either.
@@MIke-m1c8k Of first past the post voting ! Nutz.
@@MIke-m1c8k No. Roughly 20% of the population voted for Liebour. The other 80% either voted for someone else or just didn't bother. Probably because there wasn't really anyone worth voting for. The majority of this country does not support them. That is an important fact to remember. Corbyn lost the election with more support than Starmer won with. Just because we were sick of the Tories doesn't mean we actually wanted Labour.
Thank God for raising up the voice of Melanie Philips during these darkest times in Britain. This woman speaks the truth about what is happening in the country where I live.
Nothing benign about Starmer.
Enjoyable and intelligent discussion with Melanie as usual. Thank you.
This is an outstanding discussion and one of the best analyses of the 'British political predicament' anywhere. There are long sequences where Melanie beautifully sums up the situation re Islam, Islamism, demographic destiny and the inherent danger to Western civilisation from the above. She describes that reality, she explains it with perfect clarity and, on the odd occasion, with a striking and justified brutality. Thank you Melanie Phillips
Superb clarity of how much danger the West is in. Thank you both. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the restoration of Christianity worldwide. 🙏
Christians and Jews please stand together. Don’t let the Islamic ideologists drive us away!
Have you seen the TH-cam video ofcthe German Protestant Christian priest being assaulted by three young Israelis in Jerusalem a year ago ! These Zionists care little to nothing for Christians. Read the book called "how Zionism hijacked Judaism " by Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro. He is an American Rabbi who knows more about these two opposed groups than anyone.
Have you watched the TH-cam video of three young Israelis assaulting and spitting on the German Protestant priest in Jerusalem three years ago ? These messianic Zionists care nothing for Christ or Christians.
I thought Judaism is anti-Christian.
Fantastic interview with two brilliant knowledgeable people. I'd like to see more of Melanie on JNS interviews.
Love Melanie, if only there were more like you. God save Israel and Jewry, from a Scottish Protestant living in Bulgaria.
Bless you!
As a protestant of what benefit is Israel to you?
@@jonfoxtrot5135 And what benefit is Gaza to the thousands of Papists who fly the Palestine flag at Celtic games every Saturday?
Excellent analysis by an excellent guest.
Always quality and truth with Melanie
Great interview!!!
Love your interviews
thank you Melanie
Love your interpretation of the elections. Spot on. We ( the reasonable) are keeping faith with Israel and the IDF. Fooled once through naivety but not again through ignorance! 🇨🇦🍁🇮🇱
Very informative
Very delusional
Scary reality!
@@gkappa4085Are you a Muslim?
@@gkappa4085You are not thinking.
@@Foster-rv6ty it's called feeling. You should try it sometime. It might lead you to the path of empathy. Perhaps even human understanding and love of other.
Melanie thanks for your excellent clarification of your stance as you see it
Fully agree with you
However one word of support for you and your people
Don’t despair the Lord is in control he neither sleeps or slumbers
He is the ultimate protector of your people and will utterly defeat the evilness of Iran and its supporters
Shocking that 40 % of British people didn't bother to vote
Thank you bouth!🌷
Superb appraisal by Melanie of the political scene at present in Britain: superb! All power to her sail!
I love Trump and Nigel Farage
What a brilliant women!
Brilliant woman.
I was most interested in your comment Melanie, that British Jews don't really understand the times. At the end of the Second World War, one several of my fathers Jewish friends commented that they couldn’t understand why the Shoa. Hetoldthem Hitler wrote it all down in "Mein Kampf". If they had read that book many Jewish people.e would have got out. As usual Melanie youhave agoodgrasp of what is happening. Praying for Israel.

human rights lawyers. lawfare against democracy promoting islamofasism
how to save democracy ??
In Australia there is a parallel Muslim Vote organisation trying to do the same thing threatening several Labour Electorates.
But the Labour Party in Australia doesn’t have anywhere the majority British Labour has.
Melanie just says it as it is! No fluff or faffing!!
The establishment of four million Muslim vote bank in Britain is the beginning of the end of British Britain. This form of colonialism of India is what ended up the in the most violent and illegal Partition of India in 1947, and unfortunately, that story has still not ended in India. Now it’s the turn of Britain to front up to its own collapse. France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden…… are not too far behind 🛑
This is what they call jihad and it works

@@margaretsmith3393 They started with BHARAT 🇮🇳(India) and successfully dismembered thousands of years old civilisational state, created Pakistan which sustains itself on Jihadist terror, turned a pleasant Christian Lebanon to a lawless Islamic mess, and now they are targeting the UK, France, and many more in beautiful Europe.

God Bless you Melanie
Excellent Melanie Phillips is brilliant
The good news is that there are more good people than bad. The bad news is that good people are compassionate, forgiving, understanding and consequently easily intimidated by the bad.
Spot on .
Actually the Labour Party got 34% of the vote, just over 20% of the problem. Farage's ReformUK Party has an Alliance with the Northern Irish Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), and managed to elect an MP, who has taken the ReformUK whip.
Great interview
❤ Melanie Phillips ❤
The perception Trump is an isolationist is wrong. If he is one why did he push NATO members to increase their military budget, why did he pushed for Abraham Accord? Trump simply put America, her interests, her exceptionalism first.
I have enormous respect for Phillips. Her observations are insightful. But her pessimism re democracy and France and Islam is terrifying for Jews. Antisemitism resulting from the Islamic arrival in the west and their capacity to influence elections has become a major concern.
Gadaffi and his prophetic words “We’ve won, you’ve lost!”when he came in from the cold are no longer in dispute.
Idiotic politicians such as Blair and Merkel who trumpeted about multiculturalism and its benefits should be ashamed of themselves.
The Caliphate has begun.
Nothing benign about Starmer. Cosying with Khan.
I love, Melanie. 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇮🇱🇺🇸✝️✡️
Very clear, very erudite, brilliant analysis of the calamitous situation before us.
The vast majority of British voters did NOT vote for Labour. Only 22% of the entire electorate did. On a lowest turnout for years, 33.4% of the votes actually cast were for Labour. They have no mandate.
How stupid can we be?!
It was far more a case of Britain rejecting the “traitors, quislings and collaborators” that are the Tory party, in the hope that Reform can become an actual alternative to the WEF/WHO crowd
Israel forever!
Western countries do not want Arab-Israeli or Iranian-Israeli disputes intruding upon or disrupting our domestic politics.
I totally totally agree with Melanie!!!
Excellent, tho very sobering analysis!! Thank you!!
Melanie is very spot on, thanks.
The voice of the Church was also silent over 14 years
Pope Benedict was on the right path about it and promptly got cancelled for his speech accurately identifying inhumane ideas in that worldview. No matter his mistakes that speech was more than any other popes did in the last 50 years.
What Church there are hundreds of different churches in the Christian family the Greek Orthodox Church, the Coptic Church, Roman Catholic, Anglican Church, Armenian Church, Methodist, Mormon, many different churches and sects. The problem is often Christian Leaders are too busy arguing ovet interpretations of the Bible and various rituals then together and speak together as one voice in support of the Jewish people as followers of Jesus who was himself a Jew.
Melanie is wonderful.
Melanie is delusional
Very informative. Thank you!
Melanie not one mention of immigration , why not ? It's the British Peoples 1st , 2nd & Third only concern . Honest & fair journalism please !!!
I really LOVE this interview with the wonderful Melanie! I'm an American Jew, SUPER-MAGA (yeah, I know there aren't many of me, LOL). I'm amazed and enthralled by the brilliance of Melanie ... I just discovered her on your wonderful channel ... Now I'm searching for more of her interviews on TH-cam. Thanks so much for your GREAT GREAT GREAT channel! Long live Israel! May God continue to protect her for Judas Joe and Cackles Kamala!
May I join the Melanie Philips party please?
Melanie Philips a an exceptional voice B”H 🫶
There is a swing back in Europe! Germany is closing down many Mosques, Denmark is getting tough on immigration. Ireland is fighting back. Poland won’t have any immigration enforced that is. Gert Wilders has had a huge majority in Holland. People have had enough of what has been foisted on them. The Pendulum is swinging.
thank you Melanie for your eye opening and extremely knowledgeable dissection of reality!
There's a lot more than 4 million Muslims in Britain!
Somehow everything becomes so more real and frightening when Melanie joins Tobin's program. So do we start packing?
Thank G-d for them
If you're in Britain or France, sadly, probably yes.
Excellent podcast. Vravo Melanie 👏👏👏
Phenomenal BRAVO
SHABBAT SHALOM ❤
I just discovered Melanie by this podcast. She is breathtaking. She is an absolutely incredibly deep, bright, and articulate woman. I should mention I am an American Jew. And Melanie's depth of knowledge about our American politics, English politics, and Israeli politics makes her very unique. I'll be sure to buy her books and I'm looking forward to watching more of her on TH-cam. Thank you for this fantastic podcast.
After a general election we have a Govt no one wants ... Something is not quite right here?
Oh Melanie, the world is a better place for you being here.
Thank you so very much!😂❤
Farage stands for absolute common sense. He tells the truth. He is an absolute British Patriot. We also know that business and economics make the world go around. He is very anti illegal immigration. His party is Reform and if we want England back he is our only hope!
It's up to conservative voters to make PR work for the country by rejecting the treacherous Conservative party & supporting Reform.
Have you not heard some of the antisemitic conspiracy theories spread by RefUK candidates? or heard about how Nigel Farage allegedly treated jewish students at the private school he went to? They aren't the answer
Spot on analysis
