Melanie is an avid supporter of the campaign to silence and ban legitimate condemnation of the brutal Israeli apartheid regime which is regularly condemned by the vast majority of countries at the UN for gross human rights abuses and can break international laws with impunity because it's funded by the US and supported by the UK. The Biblical claim on Palestine is based on a fictional 6,000 year-old Earth where Neanderthals never existed. In the real world, most people have some Neanderthal DNA because our ancestors mated with Neanderthals. Even if a race of people ruled a land thousands of years ago, it doesn't give them the right to return many years later, force nearly one million people from their homes and land, kill them if they refuse to leave. Install a ruthless system of slaughter, genocide against the indigenous people. But Zionism insists Zionists must be allowed to. Many Jews rightly condemn Zionism as a political movement which uses Judaism as a front.
I recall you saying a few weeks ago, Melanie, that you expected a 'silent fury' to be reflected in the upcoming election. I'm very glad to see you were right!
@Peter m'peter not nearly as sickening as a hypocrite. Just ask those poor Socialists L O R D Peter Mandelson multi millionaire. S I R Tony Blair multi multi millionaire. Oh yeah....they're really poor suffering working class are'nt they. FFS dump that massive grudge on your shoulders and come into the real world.

@@eliza1826 There are many spectacularly beautiful Jews but usually Jews take on the physical attributes of the countries to which they had been exiled (after the Babylonian, Roman, Spanish, etc., expulsions). Unfortunately the ones in “Ashkenaz” (central & Eastern Europe) suffered horrific persecutions, murder, poverty, insecurity, etc., culminating in various pogroms, crusades, and then the Holocaust. All of this is burned into our hearts, minds, souls, and faces. I’m sorry that it bothers you that Jews do not have the plain, regular features of the Nordic peoples. You might look a bit deeper and you will see the profound wisdom, genius, soulfulness and compassion of Judaism.
Heaven help those that yell, "Fascist", "Nazi" or "Far Right" at people who happen to be socially conservative. They really DO NOT want to meet a real Fascist/Nazi/ Far Right character; the masochist will then meet a true sadist (there are plenty of them, out there)!
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the "good" of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under *omnipotent* *moral* *busybodies* . The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own "good"... *will* *torment* *us* *without* *end* for they do so with the *approval* of their own conscience.” - CS Lewis

@@JohnAndersonMedia Being a daily "keyboard-warrior" is only a part of our long term commitment to regain control of our Western Civilization! Due to the evil role of the mainstream media, helping ordinary people to fully understand what´s really at stake is sometimes as hard as paddling against the tide, and yet it has to be done...
Very interesting and thought provoking discussion. It was also frightening to have it clarified what the 'progressives' are aiming to do to the West. It has helped to reinforce my Faith in God and my Political opinions. Thank you for clarifying a lot of things because this will help to understand the nature and weaknesses of the 'progressive' enemy. I also found Melanies elaboration on anti-Semitism very intersting. Melanie Philips is indeed a very clear and powerful thinker.
How I LOVE Melanie Phillips (apart from my wife, of course). I am her biggest fan here in the U.S.. I find my self always in agreement with either what she says or what she has written. I first discovered her when she was on the Sean Hannity show (Fox News) some years ago. I immediately purchased her book, "The World Upside Down". Have been following her ever since.

Check out the English clairvoyant Craig Hamilton-Parker. He predicted the result of the first Scottish referendum. He says there will be a second but the result will be the same. He also said that the SNP, like the Lib dems, are at the start of a long-term decline.
Wow, her explanation our Western values made me feel so much pride to have been born into and taught these values. We need to defend them and believe in them again.
So sad. People are literally taught to suppress, ignore and shut down opposing or different narratives.

Being the first makes me nervous. Melanie watching her reading her listening to her, let me tell you looks and brains , beauty and smarts, yes I like Her. A good very good Mench. Shalom.
@insane hermit everything she says is brilliant except for her Jewish exceptionalism. Being hated by every people, cast out by every unrelated nation, abominated by every Government throughout all of history and still unable to ask why, with any self reflection and still saying that Antisemitism is just a madness that happens for no reason.
watching this in 2022, i cant get over the massive lurch to the left that has rocked the system to the point of collapse....but this talk was 3 yeas ago and every word said hits harder now more than ever. I have saved this for repeated listening. I would love an another talk between Melanie and yourself, there would be endless things to talk about.
Thank goodness there is a fightback against the cultural insanity sown by the intellectual left...Melanie Phillips, Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray and all the wisdom that Roger Scruton bequeathed to us.
Once again Mr Anderson you have a knack of interviewing interesting people; now you give us Melanie Phillips. I was very interested in her views on anti-Semitism, something I honestly cannot understand. I have always been pro Israel and as a young boy, when I was a "believer" and still have a bible on my bedside table, but and cannot understand what the Arabs or the Palestinians, in particular, have against Israel other than, perhaps, jealousy!
So true, indeed! Multiculturalism is the "new" evil we must fight against if we want to keep our Western Culture & Moral Values alive... Thank you both John & Melanie!
I so much appreciate the lucid manner in which questions were asked and answered in this interview. It has helped me to navigate and articulate better, the framework of my own responses to the issues. Hopefully, I will be able to do better than just react with rage and confusion now. Thank you both.
Thank you Melanie for this. I myself have had thoughts of Jewish world dominance based on what I have read. It's so hard to find truth now in this world of misinformation. It's good to hear your point of view and I have huge respect for you and your wisdom.
Forgotten so much that is important it's because the Marxist left has marched through our institutions denigrating Christianity, traditional families, pushing the LGBTQZ whatever Agenda brainwashing our children and hating western culture.
She is able to show the entire story. The story we all understand. I do think Trump is a leader, but the Progressives will not allow anyone to lead no matter who they are. Trump has courage which has brought much to a head to head battle. This battle I believe is the inevitable question that the West has danced around for far too long. It's a question that cannot be avoided, unfortunately. In truth, we all will have to choose a side and understand why we come down on that side realistically. To understand that no ideology gives us utopia, but reality must be staked in the premises of one of two choices. Either you want the responsibility of freedom or you want the hope (which has proven to fail) that people will want the best for their community over themselves, and tyranny will not be necessary to keep the masses from knowing this methodology doesn't work.
My experience tells me that as a child of family breakdown being born in the sixties is that the "expectation" of husband and wife of one another has and is being undermined, twisted by a dystopian idea that the original commitment of a man and woman to commit to a life long relationship in the propagation of the species ergo children caused and causes a "consumer" throw away view that the family unit is as about as lasting as that of cling wrap. A country and its society is only as strong as the majority of it citizens which would/ should make up the constituency of its largest component and that is the family.
Thank you John for a wonderful interview with Melanie Phillips 11. I want you to know that I do agree with a lot of what Melanie is saying about what happened to our country too. For example with Jordan Peterson. He was very much shut down by the University because he would not speak the way some figured he should. We I believe in Free Speech. I believe in individualism, and I believe that each one of us has DNA, and coding, and a helix, and I believe in family that is committed, because of what we commit to with a partner. I believe in the children of that said family, being supported, Love and cared for in all ways, by both parents. Now as much as that might a Utopia way of thinking, if someone broke that vow and commitment there are divorce courts, but it is my obligation to work at a marriage as hard as I can possibly conjure up. Also if someone who is suppose to be a President calls Canada their enemy, when I know we are not the enemy of the USA, then I speak. Not out of place, but it is my duty to do so as a tax payer because we have children in this country that we do not want damaged. Now I understand Melanie and her thinking, but the children have been through a lot in our country, as with the USA, and right now they need family to stand there with them, and for them in our country. Trump is not it. Although he is entitled to opinion, and his tribe is as you put it, but we like to have higher Values, higher morals, and ethics of all our leaders, including Universities, including Politicians, including the Royal family of England. So if we sound harsh with our arguments, and debates, I wonder, are we being inclusive, or are we fighting for the rights to be heard by our Countries that haven't heard a thing about women. Nothing. For example, you do never say as a President....you can grab women's pussies. That is not debatable. You must never call an Allie an enemy when you are Trump, if they are not your enemy. That is not debatable. There are some things that are debatable, in ethics, morals, and Values..the Value of a dollar, that is certainly debatable. The Value of a University and it's departments that put dollars before ethics, for example....The ethics of the Atom Bomb being produced, that is debatable, but our children's lives are not debatable, not because I am being arrogant or won't listen, but because I do listen. So I understand the apprehension of those that don't know for sure the outcome of this election in the USA, but I do know our children are not dispensable. Thank you John. I do appreciate so much what you are saying...and tell Melanie I would love to debate, or listen or learn about what it is her viewpoint is from an objective point of view of family, ethics, Values, and Morals, and all the University data about our history, our DNA, our RNA, our proteins, our cultures, our idea of RACE that came out in the 1730's but lets do that after this next election.....when our children are a little safer.

Why am I not surprised that this amazing lady can't get published in England.

Remember this... "The love of truth, is the seed to moral action." No moral action without the truth... Well worn words of St.Jerome..."If an offence come out of the truth, better is it that the offence come than that the truth be concealed." Last one...It is not truth that makes man great, but man that makes truth great" Confucius.
Melanie and John such a pleasure to hear these important issues. Real research where information is collected and analysis is conducted. Not the current situations where idiology is declared and examples collected to support the propaganda.
Melanie is a truth teller who can't help seeing and saying it beautifully. I love listening to her mind and heart. I do think Trump is a leader because he too tells the truth. Melanie would be a leader, similar in nature. In nature, I mean unable to lie about the necessary drivers of a Western culture as derived from the first 5 books of the Bible.
Have been following Melanie for some years, I would love to her perspective on what happening now, in these ever darker times. The utter madness and cruelty since covid . Families kept apart etc., Things will only get worse, this is the new normal.
Which is doesn't have to be a bad thing. I'm Pagan myself. But I won't say that there's not a great many viewpoints being expressed that I am not at all happy with. I'm not sure that some young 'Pagans' and 'Witches' are properly aware that a Spiritual path focusing more on freedom, doesn't mean that we shouldn't still have a moral code. Because we certainly should.

Melanie Phillips, a truly remarkable and brave woman. A woman who has the will power to stick to her well founded reasoning, which is based upon truth which she has gained over her time and from experience. There is not one thing she has said here that I disagree with. Her change from the left, or fantasy to reality, I have also experienced in my time. I used to place myself on the spectral left, this was about 30 years ago, but as I have gained in logic and wisdom I came to a place where there was no doubt that the left was, and still is, ideologically infantile beyond belief. I have nothing but total understanding for Melanie, and I hope she realises that her thinking is totally correct, based upon reasoning and fact and spot on! Melanie I hope you read this and I ask you to never doubt yourself in the way you think. In conclusion Melanie I want to tell you that I am one of those men, as a father, who lost total contact with a son who I have not seen for 15 years now. He was given over to his mother by feminist extremists who were basically running the children's family courts, and also rife within the mother biased organisation called "Cafcass". I was totally humiliated by Cafcass and lost all contact with the son I love, who I brought up from birth until he was 7 years old. But now all I have is memories of him at that age, I wish I could see him again before I pass away. The British traditional family has been destroyed and dissected by feminism which has tried to do away with fathers and succeeded, so it seems. I know... I was one Father who was destroyed by them and lost my son because of them. Get in touch Melanie I want to tell you my story, you will be shocked by it, and what I have been through, as I fought for my son over 4 years of hell. Look for me on Facebook. I hope you read this. Regards to you, from Paul Manning.

Melanie Phillips gets very lost on her comments about Israel the stealing of Arab land is a fact and has many UN resolutions against it. John Anderson should have called her out instead of smiling benignly. (Unless he thought she was hoisting herself by her own petard)
As a kid I used to read Japanese manga and giggle at scenes where one character beating another one up saying “this is for your own good!” But seeing this kind of contradiction in real life in western countries bewilders me greatly. Many thanks for this great discussion.
Thank you for such an interesting and informative discussion. Most of what I am hearing is putting a completely new slant on things so thanks. I am going to buy Melanie’s books.

Having been raised in a family of five children, where my father was physically violent to his wife, and all of his children (except one, who was carefully chosen) I bless my parents for having stayed together, until we were all "off their hands". Then my mother went to a Scots family wedding, and didn't return to her English husband, my father. Nevertheless, loving life myself, as I do, I bless BOTH of my parents for providing us with food, shelter, and wonderful Christmases! As to Melanie's point about the UK Parliament having been "against the people", even after the General Election, we have that same Parliament: only the PM now has a majority, to enable him to scupper the 'BREXIT' for which we voted in 2016. He will do nothing about Immigration from the Commonwealth; and he certainly will not tackle immigration from ISLAM!
He might limit immigration from the Commonwealth but not from Islamic shithole scroungers. That would be ' Islamophobia ' and in cowardly Liberal Britain that charge is now classed worse than baby rape. In fact this may be the last decade of democratic elected Government in Britain before Mohammed takes over.

A woman and her children should never stay with a violent man. I dont see what blessing you got from this. She could have been happy and safe as a single parent or with someone else.
@ Climb down from your high horse! A woman with five children; all conceived during the 1950s and early 60s? Do some homework on British social history. When my late mother returned to her home in Elgin, and complained about her violent husband, she was sent packing.....by her own parents! And, I repeat, it is not for an 'Identity Politician', like yourself, to dictate to anyone HOW they OUGHT to feel. It is for them to decide. And my siblings do not consider ourselves 'victims' (no doubt, much to your disgust!) and we are all pleased our parents provided us with stability until our late teens.
As far a conservatives go Melanie isn't too bad. Some of her ideas are rational - her critique of academia is spot on, and so his her view that the Left have rejected reason and objectivity. That being said, many of her more religious ideas are wrong. She expressed the idea - shared by many other Conservatives - that happiness comes from community. This is not only disastrously wrong, but evil. Happiness does come from self-actualisation - when that concept is defined and explained objectively. self-actualisation is about bettering oneself by pursuing certain rational values that enrich ones life, values like having a productive career, a loving relationship and good friends. But that doesn't mean that you can attain happiness by any means - a person is cannot be happy to the extent that he is dishonest with himself and others, a man that cons a women into marrying him cannot be happy to the extent that he lies to himself and his wife about the nature of the marriage. Happiness is a value which, objectively, is the product of virtuous acts. One can only be happy if a person achieves rational values by acts of independence, honesty. integrity, justice and productivity. Melanie's communistic version of happiness implies that one can only be happy in a community i.e. one acts like a parasite feeding off of other people. But that's not the case at all, there are many miserable people in communities today. And many independent-minded people such as myself who are very happy. Happiness is not a product of a certain number, or a certain arrangement of human beings, it comes from hard-work and as as a result of successful action in life. th-cam.com/video/bVZJMdMpib8/w-d-xo.html
I am listening to this talk February 22/23. Yesterday Putin gave his “State of the Union” address. The essence of his talk, put into policy the ideals described by the guest as recognizing democracy. His speech identified the next steps toward strengthening Russia’s sovereignty with a collective vision and purpose. He proposed ideals for family, individual ways that each Russian could work toward this common purpose by starting businesses and ensuring each Russian would share in the prosperity. Each family would be rewarded through significant tax reduction for having more children, thereby,recognizing women’s contribution to the future of Russian Sovereignty. In short, if one wants to see the wholesome application of these espoused principles, I suggest Russia should be considered as a possible model for direction. 🇨🇦❤️
Sky News Australia is the only organisation that seems to have retained a sensible take on current affairs. it is fortunate we can access programs like these on TH-cam. Melanie is spot on about the state of education in primary and secondary schools. The teaching of History especially has been filleted of the true course of events and a sort of Disneyland version of history has been promoted which leaves our current generation woefully ignorant in many matters, not just historical ones.

Amazing interview. I have always found it difficult to truly understand the origins of anti-semitism and hearing Melanie speak about it was very powerful.
I used to read her in one of the papers when I lived in London before I moved to Scotland. She gives explanations to much I have experienced over recent decades without knowing the rhyme or reasons behind it all. I would like clarification on how all of this could impact on Mental Health and how complicit the professions seem to have been in silencing the general public with prescriptions which, of course, are no substitute for Identities thrown to the wind. Don't you think?
I have never understood where people find anti semitism. In the U.K. it may exist among politicians and some Muslims but this seems to me another example of the elite being out of step with the people.
Thanks Or, really appreciate your support. If you enjoyed this discussion you'll appreciate John's other Conversations. We'd be grateful if you would subscribe to the channel and support us how you can. Many thanks!
Her points regarding antisemitism are also spot on. I'm stunned by the number of young Muslims that I meet, (under the age of 30), that hold very strong antisemitic/anti-Israel sentiments. It's kind of creepy when you hear a 27 year man old from Morocco, holding the same misguided thoughts about Jews and Israel that the another 23 year old woman from Somalia whom you met the week before.

Totally enjoy listening to this woman. Her clarity and definitions hit right to the core of what is happening. I am from the USA and I think she is wrong about Trump But, as I have listened to her talk, I understand why he is not her cup of tea. But, I do not approach Trump from the same liberal path she tread for so long... She would be offended to think that her past liberal is still deep in her core and it shows just a bit. About Trump... he is not the orator that can explain her thoughts and his approach seems to rile the masses. Truth is... she knows that would happen even if he had the JFK or Ronald Reagan gift of speaking. So Trump just does it his way and we have learned to understand him.
Jon Anderson, unlike his ubiquitous name, is unusually insightful, humble and fully gets his viewers the few bright lights in a dark tunnel terrified of sun. He is one of those burning with light.
I have huge respect for Melanie Phillips, as a writer and as a woman of considerable intellect. However, on the issue of single parenting I have to disagree. I feel she speaks from the position of having a strong religious faith, and that this faith has strict guidance on how wife and husband should behave - their roles and boundaries. Most other people do not have this 'guidance', but live within current moral values that can best be described as coming from the 60's - if it feels good, do it. As a result I feel Melanie understates the damage done to children growing up in the tense atmosphere that is created by their warring parents who cannot stand being in each other's company for longer than a few minutes, and cannot conceal these feelings effectively. I know of an instance where this exact situation arose as the direct result of the change of the husband's career - he was a disenchanted dentist who left dentistry to start a waste haulage business, so quite a change for her to accept! As the direct result of trying to hide the corrosive feelings that grew as a result of the wife's disappointment at her husband's supposed decline in status the stress between them was beginning to make them both, literally, mentally ill. After 5 years of separate bedrooms and almost total silence between them they eventually divorced. With hindsight they both now agree they should have split up far, far earlier. Hindsight is 20/20 vision, they say, but in staying together 'for the sake of the children' they ended up damaging their children more than if they had gone their separate ways. Gritting it out is a mistake, in my view, and I think Melanie harks back to an age where fathers were less 'close' to their children, where family matters were discussed behind closed doors when children were in bed. The effects of a poor marriage relationship could more easily be hidden from the children in those times, and from public view as well to avoid the scandal and embarrassment that such a rift would cause. I maintain that when a marriage does go seriously wrong, it's time to move on - not only for the sake of one's own sanity, but for the sake of the children's sanity. With women now demanding equal recognition for their career choices, and money no longer the sole responsibility of the male, the female can now finance her life outside of marriage and be accepted as a respectable single parent. This has to an improvement on what was before the female revolution took place, when a woman was totally financially dependent on her husband and was forced as a result to accept the awful life that accompanies a poor marriage. When it's gone, it's gone. Move on.
Really relevant and breath-of-fresh-air discussion. In a fit of pre-Christmas boredom earlier this week I was watching a TV show from UK (hosted by an Australian). One of the guests was Miriam Margolyes, who commented (quite seriously, I believe) that were she PM her first priority would be to ensure the vote for Brexit is overturned, and that UK would remain solidly in the EU. She then went on to say that the Brexit voters didn't know what they were voting for, and so their votes didn't really count. She effectively said that if given the option she would overturn democracy (or what is left of it) in the UK. Sounds like hate speech to me.
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means, but it's definitely that dangerous attitude of denigration towards the feelings of a large swathe of the population that informed the Leave result in the first place. FWIW, I still believe that leaving the EU is a reckless experiment backed by too much emotional thinking on both sides, and that it will almost certainly reduce us to being a vassal state of the US in the long run and ruin our national self-determination. I'd like to know why I'm wrong on this, and see an actual plan for how we'll carry it through in a constructive way, but I also remember that my "side" (Remain) helped create this situation by backing everyone else into a corner with shamefully arrogant accusations of racism and stupidity. We can't afford any more backbiting. We need to stop the recriminations and demand clarity from the snakes in charge about how *exactly* their plan will concretely address the legitimate concerns of the people that produced the Leave result in the first place.

Melanie is an avid supporter of the campaign to silence and ban legitimate condemnation of the brutal Israeli apartheid regime which is regularly condemned by the vast majority of countries at the UN for gross human rights abuses and can break international laws with impunity because it's funded by the US and supported by the UK. The Biblical claim on Palestine is based on a fictional 6,000 year-old Earth where Neanderthals never existed. In the real world, most people have some Neanderthal DNA because our ancestors mated with Neanderthals. Even if a race of people ruled a land thousands of years ago, it doesn't give them the right to return many years later, force nearly one million people from their homes and land, kill them if they refuse to leave. Install a ruthless system of slaughter, genocide against the indigenous people. But Zionism insists Zionists must be allowed to. Many Jews rightly condemn Zionism as a political movement which uses Judaism as a front.

Melanie Phillips is one of my heroes. She is something that is unusual today.....a truth teller.
With what clarity and understanding of the issues Melanie Phillips speaks. It's appalling that she is denied a platform in Britain.
Indeed, She truly is the future!!!!!
Mary Mary Yes and obviously a potent proponent of true freedom!
she is denied a platform in the uk ? Maybe this is the ramblings of one who has onslaught of dementia coming down the tracks...
Allowing only ONE side to express their views, whilst denying the other, is a breach of democracy and of freedom of speech.
@@JH-rz5qp She appears on TV regularly in the UK.
I just love how she says the word "issues". What a mind, what a woman. This is inspiring.
We need far more people like Melanie in the UK, and having some of them in Parliament would be a very good thing.

As a Canadian, I find John Anderson and Melanie Phillips completely inciteful and absolutely wonderful to listen to .
Wow. How wonderfully articulate, informed and insightful Melanie is! I am a new fan and gobbling up her other interviews on TH-cam. Excellent stuff!
Me too ,love this lady,she speaks sense!
You're a spectacular listener and interviewer. The West needs men like you.

Why do all you Jows look so deformed?
@@eliza1826 There are many spectacularly beautiful Jews but usually Jews take on the physical attributes of the countries to which they had been exiled (after the Babylonian, Roman, Spanish, etc., expulsions). Unfortunately the ones in “Ashkenaz” (central & Eastern Europe) suffered horrific persecutions, murder, poverty, insecurity, etc., culminating in various pogroms, crusades, and then the Holocaust. All of this is burned into our hearts, minds, souls, and faces. I’m sorry that it bothers you that Jews do not have the plain, regular features of the Nordic peoples. You might look a bit deeper and you will see the profound wisdom, genius, soulfulness and compassion of Judaism.
@@patriciakimball8150 : ha ha ha ha...are you in Terl Aviv or in Haifa...with all of these false YT addresses who praise this evil woman.....
She's such an amazing speaker. So much explained in this talk.
People talking truth and common sense are getting called far right.
Indeed Caroline - its becoming quite frightening.
Heaven help those that yell, "Fascist", "Nazi" or "Far Right" at people who happen to be socially conservative. They really DO NOT want to meet a real Fascist/Nazi/ Far Right character; the masochist will then meet a true sadist (there are plenty of them, out there)!
Here in Scotland it’s becoming more sick and unhealthy by the day
Same in America
This is true but how on Earth can A very intelligent Jewish lady, be accused of being far right? She speaks the truth,no more,no less!
Chilling to learn Melanie finds it difficult to get published in the UK. Shame on them.
Far left do goodness, Fools!
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the "good" of its victims may be the most oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under *omnipotent* *moral* *busybodies* .
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own "good"...
*will* *torment* *us* *without* *end*
for they do so with the *approval* of their own conscience.” - CS Lewis

@@JohnAndersonMedia Being a daily "keyboard-warrior" is only a part of our long term commitment to regain control of our Western Civilization! Due to the evil role of the mainstream media, helping ordinary people to fully understand what´s really at stake is sometimes as hard as paddling against the tide, and yet it has to be done...
Very interesting and thought provoking discussion. It was also frightening to have it clarified what the 'progressives' are aiming to do to the West. It has helped to reinforce my Faith in God and my Political opinions. Thank you for clarifying a lot of things because this will help to understand the nature and weaknesses of the 'progressive' enemy. I also found Melanies elaboration on anti-Semitism very intersting. Melanie Philips is indeed a very clear and powerful thinker.
How I LOVE Melanie Phillips (apart from my wife, of course). I am her biggest fan here in the U.S.. I find my self always in agreement with either what she says or what she has written. I first discovered her when she was on the Sean Hannity show (Fox News) some years ago. I immediately purchased her book, "The World Upside Down". Have been following her ever since.

One of your best, John. I am a Scot, and I watch with dismay how England and Scotland are diverging (see today's election results!) Much of this divergence has its roots in the topics you discussed with Melanie

Check out the English clairvoyant Craig Hamilton-Parker. He predicted the result of the first Scottish referendum. He says there will be a second but the result will be the same. He also said that the SNP, like the Lib dems, are at the start of a long-term decline.

@@bain6655 Who's "we"? And who gave you the right to pronounce in such a way?
Wow, her explanation our Western values made me feel so much pride to have been born into and taught these values. We need to defend them and believe in them again.
Yes, but only 3 "likes". Until me. Somewhat worrying.
Here,here! Parliament against the people,WTF! Love this lady!
so pleased that this is back from being banned by facebook on the grounds of hate speech.
So sad. People are literally taught to suppress, ignore and shut down opposing or different narratives.
Being the first makes me nervous. Melanie watching her reading her listening to her, let me tell you looks and brains , beauty and smarts, yes I like Her. A good very good Mench. Shalom.
Shalom. A wonderful person. Among other things, a modern day Jeremiah, telling it like it is. :-)
@insane hermit everything she says is brilliant except for her Jewish exceptionalism. Being hated by every people, cast out by every unrelated nation, abominated by every Government throughout all of history and still unable to ask why, with any self reflection and still saying that Antisemitism is just a madness that happens for no reason.
watching this in 2022, i cant get over the massive lurch to the left that has rocked the system to the point of collapse....but this talk was 3 yeas ago and every word said hits harder now more than ever. I have saved this for repeated listening. I would love an another talk between Melanie and yourself, there would be endless things to talk about.
minute 36: need a leader, Psalm 72
Always love listening to Melanie, speaks truth and common sence. John Anderson is one of the best platforms for truth and reason.
Melanie is a great writer and speaker! She’s a breath of fresh air.
Bless this woman for her courage and clarity. I am buying her books. Subscribed.
God bless you Melanie. You are so truthful. How refreshing and encouraging. I repeat, God Bless You!
Thank goodness there is a fightback against the cultural insanity sown by the intellectual left...Melanie Phillips, Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray and all the wisdom that Roger Scruton bequeathed to us.
Once again Mr Anderson you have a knack of interviewing interesting people; now you give us Melanie Phillips. I was very interested in her views on anti-Semitism, something I honestly cannot understand. I have always been pro Israel and as a young boy, when I was a "believer" and still have a bible on my bedside table, but and cannot understand what the Arabs or the Palestinians, in particular, have against Israel other than, perhaps, jealousy!
Melanie was and is outstanding. Standing ovation from me. Been a follower for a long time..
So true, indeed! Multiculturalism is the "new" evil we must fight against if we want to keep our Western Culture & Moral Values alive... Thank you both John & Melanie!
Always worth a watch and valid arguments which are gaining ground - thank God.
Oh, it is wonderful to listen to the proper conversation. Thank you!
I so much appreciate the lucid manner in which questions were asked and answered in this interview. It has helped me to navigate and articulate better, the framework of my own responses to the issues. Hopefully, I will be able to do better than just react with rage and confusion now. Thank you both.
Thank you Melanie for this. I myself have had thoughts of Jewish world dominance based on what I have read. It's so hard to find truth now in this world of misinformation. It's good to hear your point of view and I have huge respect for you and your wisdom.
the difference between this conversation, and what you find on MSM, is amazing.
Her points about Paganism are just so spot on. Here in the U.S., the celebration of Halloween has pretty much dwarfed most or all other holidays.
Really good discussion that informs people on some serious issues facing society. Thanks.
Brilliant, articulate speaker. We need your voice Melanie.
Forgotten so much that is important it's because the Marxist left has marched through our institutions denigrating Christianity, traditional families, pushing the LGBTQZ whatever Agenda brainwashing our children and hating western culture.
I think this is the first time I have ever got goose bumps watching a TH-cam video. Very powerful.
She is able to show the entire story. The story we all understand.
I do think Trump is a leader, but the Progressives will not allow anyone to lead no matter who they are.
Trump has courage which has brought much to a head to head battle. This battle I believe is the inevitable question that the West has danced around for far too long. It's a question that cannot be avoided, unfortunately.
In truth, we all will have to choose a side and understand why we come down on that side realistically. To understand that no ideology gives us utopia, but reality must be staked in the premises of one of two choices.
Either you want the responsibility of freedom or you want the hope (which has proven to fail) that people will want the best for their community over themselves, and tyranny will not be necessary to keep the masses from knowing this methodology doesn't work.
This woman is awesome. Great interview
Ms Phillips makes many brilliant observations, what I would like to hear next are her suggestions for solutions to these intensifying circumstances.
My experience tells me that as a child of family breakdown being born in the sixties is that the "expectation" of husband and wife of one another has and is being undermined, twisted by a dystopian idea that the original commitment of a man and woman to commit to a life long relationship in the propagation of the species ergo children caused and causes a "consumer" throw away view that the family unit is as about as lasting as that of cling wrap. A country and its society is only as strong as the majority of it citizens which would/ should make up the constituency of its largest component and that is the family.
Thank you John for a wonderful interview with Melanie Phillips 11. I want you to know that I do agree with a lot of what Melanie is saying about what happened to our country too. For example with Jordan Peterson. He was very much shut down by the University because he would not speak the way some figured he should. We I believe in Free Speech. I believe in individualism, and I believe that each one of us has DNA, and coding, and a helix, and I believe in family that is committed, because of what we commit to with a partner. I believe in the children of that said family, being supported, Love and cared for in all ways, by both parents. Now as much as that might a Utopia way of thinking, if someone broke that vow and commitment there are divorce courts, but it is my obligation to work at a marriage as hard as I can possibly conjure up. Also if someone who is suppose to be a President calls Canada their enemy, when I know we are not the enemy of the USA, then I speak. Not out of place, but it is my duty to do so as a tax payer because we have children in this country that we do not want damaged. Now I understand Melanie and her thinking, but the children have been through a lot in our country, as with the USA, and right now they need family to stand there with them, and for them in our country. Trump is not it. Although he is entitled to opinion, and his tribe is as you put it, but we like to have higher Values, higher morals, and ethics of all our leaders, including Universities, including Politicians, including the Royal family of England. So if we sound harsh with our arguments, and debates, I wonder, are we being inclusive, or are we fighting for the rights to be heard by our Countries that haven't heard a thing about women. Nothing. For example, you do never say as a President....you can grab women's pussies. That is not debatable. You must never call an Allie an enemy when you are Trump, if they are not your enemy. That is not debatable. There are some things that are debatable, in ethics, morals, and Values..the Value of a dollar, that is certainly debatable. The Value of a University and it's departments that put dollars before ethics, for example....The ethics of the Atom Bomb being produced, that is debatable, but our children's lives are not debatable, not because I am being arrogant or won't listen, but because I do listen. So I understand the apprehension of those that don't know for sure the outcome of this election in the USA, but I do know our children are not dispensable. Thank you John. I do appreciate so much what you are saying...and tell Melanie I would love to debate, or listen or learn about what it is her viewpoint is from an objective point of view of family, ethics, Values, and Morals, and all the University data about our history, our DNA, our RNA, our proteins, our cultures, our idea of RACE that came out in the 1730's but lets do that after this next election.....when our children are a little safer. Thank you John. Carolyn D Hogarth Osoyoos BC. Canada.

Please make another one now that the election has happened.
Why am I not surprised that this amazing lady can't get published in England. Her knowledge reason astute awareness and understanding of whats going wrong is as refreshing as it is rare in modern day UK. I admire her courage in speaking the truth in a country where the truth is now considered heresy
Remember this... "The love of truth, is the seed to moral action." No moral action without the truth... Well worn words of St.Jerome..."If an offence come out of the truth, better is it that the offence come than that the truth be concealed." Last one...It is not truth that makes man great, but man that makes truth great" Confucius.
Melanie and John such a pleasure to hear these important issues. Real research where information is collected and analysis is conducted. Not the current situations where idiology is declared and examples collected to support the propaganda.
Melanie is a truth teller who can't help seeing and saying it beautifully. I love listening to her mind and heart.
I do think Trump is a leader because he too tells the truth. Melanie would be a leader, similar in nature. In nature, I mean unable to lie about the necessary drivers of a Western culture as derived from the first 5 books of the Bible.
Melanie Phillips II is a treasure.
Have been following Melanie for some years, I would love to her perspective on what happening now, in these ever darker times. The utter madness and cruelty since covid . Families kept apart etc., Things will only get worse, this is the new normal.
Boris has revealed himself by his actions as the commie he always was. At the very least a Blairite. Or a Bliarite.
“People believe in witchcraft and paganism more and more today...” LoL, she’s right about that!
Which is doesn't have to be a bad thing. I'm Pagan myself. But I won't say that there's not a great many viewpoints being expressed that I am not at all happy with. I'm not sure that some young 'Pagans' and 'Witches' are properly aware that a Spiritual path focusing more on freedom, doesn't mean that we shouldn't still have a moral code. Because we certainly should.
"People believe in magic instead of organised religion"
*Obviously* those are two entirely different things.
Because.....
Well it's obvious!
So what if people do believe in these things more and more today?
Christians and Jewish people must unite against antisemitism.
Melanie is a perspicacious and wise woman - a real treasure!

John ~ Thank you for posting this interesting interview.
Melanie Phillips, a truly remarkable and brave woman. A woman who has the will power to stick to her well founded reasoning, which is based upon truth which she has gained over her time and from experience. There is not one thing she has said here that I disagree with. Her change from the left, or fantasy to reality, I have also experienced in my time. I used to place myself on the spectral left, this was about 30 years ago, but as I have gained in logic and wisdom I came to a place where there was no doubt that the left was, and still is, ideologically infantile beyond belief. I have nothing but total understanding for Melanie, and I hope she realises that her thinking is totally correct, based upon reasoning and fact and spot on! Melanie I hope you read this and I ask you to never doubt yourself in the way you think. In conclusion Melanie I want to tell you that I am one of those men, as a father, who lost total contact with a son who I have not seen for 15 years now. He was given over to his mother by feminist extremists who were basically running the children's family courts, and also rife within the mother biased organisation called "Cafcass". I was totally humiliated by Cafcass and lost all contact with the son I love, who I brought up from birth until he was 7 years old. But now all I have is memories of him at that age, I wish I could see him again before I pass away. The British traditional family has been destroyed and dissected by feminism which has tried to do away with fathers and succeeded, so it seems. I know... I was one Father who was destroyed by them and lost my son because of them. Get in touch Melanie I want to tell you my story, you will be shocked by it, and what I have been through, as I fought for my son over 4 years of hell. Look for me on Facebook. I hope you read this. Regards to you, from Paul Manning.

That was marvelous!!!!
Melanie Phillips gets very lost on her comments about Israel
the stealing of Arab land is a fact and has many UN resolutions against it.
John Anderson should have called her out instead of smiling benignly.
(Unless he thought she was hoisting herself by her own petard)
Quinton Broster she is so logical and objective until she talks about Israel. I would like to see her debate with Ilan Pappe.
@@ceciliawedgwood4321 that would be fun but it could only happen in our heads
As a kid I used to read Japanese manga and giggle at scenes where one character beating another one up saying “this is for your own good!” But seeing this kind of contradiction in real life in western countries bewilders me greatly. Many thanks for this great discussion.
Thank you for such an interesting and informative discussion. Most of what I am hearing is putting a completely new slant on things so thanks. I am going to buy Melanie’s books.

@Bakshi Baksi Garbage. FGM has not invaded Christianity or Judaism. What a load of tosh.
@Bakshi Baksi But carried out and mandated mainly in Islam.
Having been raised in a family of five children, where my father was physically violent to his wife, and all of his children (except one, who was carefully chosen) I bless my parents for having stayed together, until we were all "off their hands". Then my mother went to a Scots family wedding, and didn't return to her English husband, my father. Nevertheless, loving life myself, as I do, I bless BOTH of my parents for providing us with food, shelter, and wonderful Christmases! As to Melanie's point about the UK Parliament having been "against the people", even after the General Election, we have that same Parliament: only the PM now has a majority, to enable him to scupper the 'BREXIT' for which we voted in 2016. He will do nothing about Immigration from the Commonwealth; and he certainly will not tackle immigration from ISLAM!
Mark Dyer it’s a bit soon to state this.
Mark Dyer From Islam? You're thick as shit mate.
He might limit immigration from the Commonwealth but not from Islamic shithole scroungers.
That would be ' Islamophobia ' and in cowardly Liberal Britain that charge is now classed worse than baby rape.
In fact this may be the last decade of democratic elected Government in Britain before Mohammed takes over.
A woman and her children should never stay with a violent man. I dont see what blessing you got from this. She could have been happy and safe as a single parent or with someone else.
@ Climb down from your high horse! A woman with five children; all conceived during the 1950s and early 60s? Do some homework on British social history. When my late mother returned to her home in Elgin, and complained about her violent husband, she was sent packing.....by her own parents! And, I repeat, it is not for an 'Identity Politician', like yourself, to dictate to anyone HOW they OUGHT to feel. It is for them to decide. And my siblings do not consider ourselves 'victims' (no doubt, much to your disgust!) and we are all pleased our parents provided us with stability until our late teens.
Melanie, you are anointed, no doubt about it.
Please put these discussions out again, the world has gone full totalitarian and the educated are ready to be educated.
Thank you, thank you both. This conversation should compulsory viewing for Jeremy Corbyn and his cohorts, though I doubt it will be.
Thanks for your feedback Mark and Caroline. And yes, sadly it seems Corbyn and his team have learnt very little from their recent election defeat.
Thanks Melanie , you are good at explaining !
Melanie, please run for Prime Minister! John, thank you for being such a wonderful host for these conversations!
As far a conservatives go Melanie isn't too bad. Some of her ideas are rational - her critique of academia is spot on, and so his her view that the Left have rejected reason and objectivity. That being said, many of her more religious ideas are wrong. She expressed the idea - shared by many other Conservatives - that happiness comes from community. This is not only disastrously wrong, but evil. Happiness does come from self-actualisation - when that concept is defined and explained objectively. self-actualisation is about bettering oneself by pursuing certain rational values that enrich ones life, values like having a productive career, a loving relationship and good friends. But that doesn't mean that you can attain happiness by any means - a person is cannot be happy to the extent that he is dishonest with himself and others, a man that cons a women into marrying him cannot be happy to the extent that he lies to himself and his wife about the nature of the marriage. Happiness is a value which, objectively, is the product of virtuous acts. One can only be happy if a person achieves rational values by acts of independence, honesty. integrity, justice and productivity. Melanie's communistic version of happiness implies that one can only be happy in a community i.e. one acts like a parasite feeding off of other people. But that's not the case at all, there are many miserable people in communities today. And many independent-minded people such as myself who are very happy. Happiness is not a product of a certain number, or a certain arrangement of human beings, it comes from hard-work and as as a result of successful action in life. th-cam.com/video/bVZJMdMpib8/w-d-xo.html
I am listening to this talk February 22/23. Yesterday Putin gave his “State of the Union” address. The essence of his talk, put into policy the ideals described by the guest as recognizing democracy. His speech identified the next steps toward strengthening Russia’s sovereignty with a collective vision and purpose. He proposed ideals for family, individual ways that each Russian could work toward this common purpose by starting businesses and ensuring each Russian would share in the prosperity. Each family would be rewarded through significant tax reduction for having more children, thereby,recognizing women’s contribution to the future of Russian Sovereignty. In short, if one wants to see the wholesome application of these espoused principles, I suggest Russia should be considered as a possible model for direction. 🇨🇦❤️
Sky News Australia is the only organisation that seems to have retained a sensible take on current affairs. it is fortunate we can access programs like these on TH-cam. Melanie is spot on about the state of education in primary and secondary schools. The teaching of History especially has been filleted of the true course of events and a sort of Disneyland version of history has been promoted which leaves our current generation woefully ignorant in many matters, not just historical ones.

Amazing interview. I have always found it difficult to truly understand the origins of anti-semitism and hearing Melanie speak about it was very powerful.
I used to read her in one of the papers when I lived in London before I moved to Scotland. She gives explanations to much I have experienced over recent decades without knowing the rhyme or reasons behind it all. I would like clarification on how all of this could impact on Mental Health and how complicit the professions seem to have been in silencing the general public with prescriptions which, of course, are no substitute for Identities thrown to the wind. Don't you think?
John, a very good interview, I will be sure to share to hopefully help increase exposure.
Knowledge is beautiful 🙏🏾👍🏾
I have never understood where people find anti semitism. In the U.K. it may exist among politicians and some Muslims but this seems to me another example of the elite being out of step with the people.
Great and relevant conversation - thank you!

Her points regarding antisemitism are also spot on. I'm stunned by the number of young Muslims that I meet, (under the age of 30), that hold very strong antisemitic/anti-Israel sentiments. It's kind of creepy when you hear a 27 year man old from Morocco, holding the same misguided thoughts about Jews and Israel that the another 23 year old woman from Somalia whom you met the week before.

A wonderful woman, impassioned and powerful I clearly need to view my long held understanding of Israel, returning to the fundamentals again.
Totally enjoy listening to this woman. Her clarity and definitions hit right to the core of what is happening. I am from the USA and I think she is wrong about Trump But, as I have listened to her talk, I understand why he is not her cup of tea. But, I do not approach Trump from the same liberal path she tread for so long... She would be offended to think that her past liberal is still deep in her core and it shows just a bit. About Trump... he is not the orator that can explain her thoughts and his approach seems to rile the masses. Truth is... she knows that would happen even if he had the JFK or Ronald Reagan gift of speaking. So Trump just does it his way and we have learned to understand him.
Jon Anderson, unlike his ubiquitous name, is unusually insightful, humble and fully gets his viewers the few bright lights in a dark tunnel terrified of sun. He is one of those burning with light.
I have huge respect for Melanie Phillips, as a writer and as a woman of considerable intellect. However, on the issue of single parenting I have to disagree. I feel she speaks from the position of having a strong religious faith, and that this faith has strict guidance on how wife and husband should behave - their roles and boundaries. Most other people do not have this 'guidance', but live within current moral values that can best be described as coming from the 60's - if it feels good, do it. As a result I feel Melanie understates the damage done to children growing up in the tense atmosphere that is created by their warring parents who cannot stand being in each other's company for longer than a few minutes, and cannot conceal these feelings effectively. I know of an instance where this exact situation arose as the direct result of the change of the husband's career - he was a disenchanted dentist who left dentistry to start a waste haulage business, so quite a change for her to accept! As the direct result of trying to hide the corrosive feelings that grew as a result of the wife's disappointment at her husband's supposed decline in status the stress between them was beginning to make them both, literally, mentally ill. After 5 years of separate bedrooms and almost total silence between them they eventually divorced. With hindsight they both now agree they should have split up far, far earlier. Hindsight is 20/20 vision, they say, but in staying together 'for the sake of the children' they ended up damaging their children more than if they had gone their separate ways. Gritting it out is a mistake, in my view, and I think Melanie harks back to an age where fathers were less 'close' to their children, where family matters were discussed behind closed doors when children were in bed. The effects of a poor marriage relationship could more easily be hidden from the children in those times, and from public view as well to avoid the scandal and embarrassment that such a rift would cause. I maintain that when a marriage does go seriously wrong, it's time to move on - not only for the sake of one's own sanity, but for the sake of the children's sanity. With women now demanding equal recognition for their career choices, and money no longer the sole responsibility of the male, the female can now finance her life outside of marriage and be accepted as a respectable single parent. This has to an improvement on what was before the female revolution took place, when a woman was totally financially dependent on her husband and was forced as a result to accept the awful life that accompanies a poor marriage. When it's gone, it's gone. Move on.
Really relevant and breath-of-fresh-air discussion.
In a fit of pre-Christmas boredom earlier this week I was watching a TV show from UK (hosted by an Australian). One of the guests was Miriam Margolyes, who commented (quite seriously, I believe) that were she PM her first priority would be to ensure the vote for Brexit is overturned, and that UK would remain solidly in the EU. She then went on to say that the Brexit voters didn't know what they were voting for, and so their votes didn't really count.
She effectively said that if given the option she would overturn democracy (or what is left of it) in the UK.
Sounds like hate speech to me.
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means, but it's definitely that dangerous attitude of denigration towards the feelings of a large swathe of the population that informed the Leave result in the first place.
FWIW, I still believe that leaving the EU is a reckless experiment backed by too much emotional thinking on both sides, and that it will almost certainly reduce us to being a vassal state of the US in the long run and ruin our national self-determination. I'd like to know why I'm wrong on this, and see an actual plan for how we'll carry it through in a constructive way, but I also remember that my "side" (Remain) helped create this situation by backing everyone else into a corner with shamefully arrogant accusations of racism and stupidity.
We can't afford any more backbiting. We need to stop the recriminations and demand clarity from the snakes in charge about how *exactly* their plan will concretely address the legitimate concerns of the people that produced the Leave result in the first place.
Very interesting discussion.
