An unjust comparison

Howard

I am wondering if you will ever blog about something else apart from the Middle East, terrorism or climate change?

Vino Veritas

Meredith Kercher was killed in ITALY Mel. But Spain too has extremely long periods of detention, for example ETA suspects.

Spain? Uhhhh... I take it you haven't been too assiduous at your atlas recently?

Ms Knox and other suspects are being detained in Italy not Spain.

Howard, why don't you ask Beckham if he would like to play a game of professional Rugby, or Ronnie O' to suit up for a game of American gridiron. Come to think of it, is there any chance that you will stop your whingeing. Ms. Phillips writes cogently about Education, the madness of Europe, the weaknesses of Government and other apropos subjects. But the overwhelming truth of our day is that The Middle East, Terrorism, and the Global Climate Change Scam are the major part of the News, which you, in your reveries, never see, or hear or talk about! Ms. Phillips is quarterbacking the side in the UK. She is not about to become a wide receiver just because you want her to.

Howard, You would prefer the appalling scandle of the possibly rigged 'X'Factor vote, or the hiring of a new manager for the England team. Of course there are many matters of hugely greater importance than the potential annihilation of Western culture through either through it's own cultural ennui or conquest, or the potential annihilation of mankind (or not as the case may be). Happy Christmas everyone :o)

Howard - this is a blog and Melanie gets to blog about what she likes. If you don't like it go find another blog.

"I am wondering if you will ever blog about something else apart from the Middle East, terrorism or climate change?"

Would you rather she wrote about things she knows nothing or cares nothing about? Like most other journalists...

Howard, Mel also supports the Creationist agenda (Daily Mail passim), so it's not all Islamic hysteria and climate change denial. And concerning the topic of this blog (incarceration without trial), how about those poor unfortunates held in Camp Delta? Or does Mel not deem to comment on that?

Pwyll

Mel knows nothing about climatology either, but that doesn't stop her banging on about it.

Howard, I'm sure that Melanie will find your heartfelt desire that she entertains and enlightens you on some other subjects to be a great boost to her kudos since you obviously ache to read Melanie's words on a host of issues. However, Melanie knows that few other journalists have the insight to tackle some of the subjects she favours and I, for one, am mesmerised by her output and rapier-like honing on the detail and angle others miss. I can tell you are a fan just like me!

Howard

I am glad I have caused a reaction to my comment. It is just so boring going on about the same subjects all the time. If a newspaper devoted itself to three subjects, it would have a readership to match!

Understanding nothing about science has not stopped Melanie's shrill pontifications about it.
