Britain's liberal intelligentsia has smashed virtually every social value
By MELANIE PHILLIPS

So now the chickens have well and truly come home terrifyingly to roost. The violent anarchy that has taken hold of British cities is the all-too-predictable outcome of a three-decade liberal experiment which tore up virtually every basic social value.

Boy, she's the Church Lady all over again, isn't she?

Can I please leave this link which is to a mirror of the daily mail if people want to view the article but don't want to give ad revenue to the rag itself?

I'll be back with an actual opinion later :) I'm sure that her article is fair and balanced and well researched.

changed it :)

but isn't saying that someone writing for the Daily Mail has an awful opinion pretty much like saying that water is wet?

well, yes, but Melanie Phillips is *especially* bad.

Sometimes she's on a radio show called the Moral Maze on the BBC.... usually I end up screaming at the radio.

Britain was once an ordered society that was the envy of the world - the most civilised, the most gentle and law-abiding.

On what planet? Certainly not this one. Envied? Maybe. Feared? Hell yeah. For being brutal, racist, and imperialistic. Not civilised, gentle, or law-abiding. *stares in disbelief* Someone clearly failed their History A-levels, didn't she?

thepuddingcook August 11 2011, 14:28:42 UTC

SRSLY. gentle what? Law-abiding, you say? Ok then.

svtstarlight August 11 2011, 14:32:09 UTC

So law abiding that Sir Robert Peel had to organise the 'Peelers', the fore-runners of today's Metropolitan police force. Yeah. Whatever. *rolls eyes* So gentle that people (including CHILDREN) were frequently thrown into prison for being unable to pay their debts, never to be seen again.

FAIL, Ms Philips... Go back to school and let me know when you actually know your history correctly. I'm not even British and I know this shit backwards and forwards.

Not to mention that the British Museum is filled with items that were basically looted from British conquests.

How the hell was this piece of shit allowed to be published? But then again, it's the daily fail, I shouldn't really be surprised.
