Well deserved

Margaret

You most certainly deserve the award!

Thank you for your well-researched and in-depth articles detailing the enemies of Western Civilization.

jose garcia

we can vote every 24 h, just press the link

Archie

Why be surprised? Quality - not to mention truth - will out. Always nice to be on the winning side, Miss Phillips.

Lee Jakeman

Perhaps consistemcy shines through after all?

Lee Jakeman

There - that's another vote for you. You're in the LEAD at the moment!

Grumpy the Friend

You Go - you good thing.
Win it for us Mel.
You make us proud.

Kol HaKavod

Tina

Go Mel!

Roy

Well deserved too; the single handed, early twenty first centuries enlightenment spectacular. All are dimmed, all are lost in the jet stream of Melanie's incomparable grasp of the ailing British and the worlds complicated infections. All to be ignored at our peril. Never have we needed the words of wisdom and common sense more. To be handed such a writer to inform and educate our blurring vision among such a mine field of misinformation is a blessing indeed.

Neil Foster

Bit of shameless self-promotion there, Mel (- the link leads to a poll, naturally). Perhaps you should make this a little clearer in your original post.

Unfortunately for the ballot-stuffers it's a completely worthless 'award'.

Neil Foster

Jose Garcia's post says it all: "we can vote every 24h, just press the link"

Hurrah for democracy!

Richard

Congratulations Melanie...... Keep up the good work.

Paul B

Yet another vote. Go Girl, you are by far the most essential reading on the web. You never fail to raise the hairs on the back of my neck with your quite brilliant & powerful prose

Joan

I am certainly not amazed Melanie, think your blog is the very best but being a NZer unfortunately not able to vote for you. Many over here who follow your writing daily. Blessings.

Kiwi

Neil Foster: You're a bundle of fun aren't you? I took a look at some of the 'competition' - all promoting themselves as well. And why not?
Melanie: I hope you not only win, but any resulting publicity will encourage many more readers to your excellent, straight-talking blog - Your voice needs to be heard.

Kiwi

Joan: I voted for Mel from NZ - no problem. (and I'll be doing it again every day!!)

Raymond Joseph Douglas

Melanie phillips, a little , middle aged lady, not that good on T.V,and yet! This lady is a giant,a brilliant expositer of the cant and hypocricy that passes for much media comment

Adam B.

Just voted for you - thank you for all your work! Good luck!

Ettiena

melanie,rock solid.
thanks from Holland for your well written reliable information.

Joe Camel

Melanie, you're the front runner with 32.4 percent of the votes, including mine. More power to your elbow.

Joe Strummer

Well done, Melanie, and most deserved. ! Keep on keeping on, as they say !

Shaun Pilkington

Grats. I don't always agree with you but I enjoy a good argument which your articles never fail to provide!

ofap

It would be a pity for this "award" to turn into a ballot-stuffing competition between (say) the Melanie Phillips Fan Club and the Neil Clark Sock Puppet Society. How many people actually checked out the other contenders?
I voted for Baldy's Blog myself, and recommend that everyone at least looks at it.

stan barker

i think Melanie Phillips would make a great prime minister.but then again.i think she is to honest

Alice Tihelkova

Happy to hear how well your blog is doing, Melanie. You have dedicated readers even here, in the Czech Republic!

Stephen

Clark's no threat, but something called Created in Birmingham is, so keep voting every day...

Margaret Muller-Johansson

Melanie, I am happy for you, Good luck!

Margaret Muller-Johansson

Raymond Joseph Douglas, what is your problemo?

Samantha Jones

Well done Melanie, it's long overdue. I sincerely hope you win it because you are one of the few journos who tell it like it is.

Winston Smith

Well this is understandable that you are in the finals and by the looks of it about to win. All one has to do is look at the amount of comments you get on your blogs compared to other writers here in the Spectator.
I've read your books. You are a strong, traditionalist woman, with a good education that, unlike NuLabour and the Left, doesn't believe in destroying the foundations of a great education so everyone else can continue to benefit. You have a moral compass and like to report on WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING all around the UK and the World, instead of the rest of the Media that is behaving like a member of Orwell's Ministry of Truth.
I applaud you Melanie Phillips and your writings. You keep me sane in this Mad World.
Well done Melanie and long may your integrity continue.

Mehran

Well done Melanie. Just voted for you. I am very happy for you.

Caz

Fantastic, as I write you are winning! Thank you for all that you do!

Peter Naylor

Just voted. Glad to see you are ahead still. Congratulations.

Albie

When did the world lose its sense of right and wrong ( probably under enormous mediahype and misrepresentation) that indicriminately firing rockets on innocent civilians is no longer a war crime but completely excusable for political justifications, and that premeditated killing is no longer murder.

How succesful must be the palestinian propaganda machine that the world now excuses whatever killing by missile scud, katyusha or kassam rocket, and suicide bombers mudering , and hijacking, and kidnapping done by the islamo fascists and other terror groups is now acceptable or excusable behaviour no matter how devilishly evil it is.

Let us pray that these people never get hold of a nuclear warhead otherwise there is no hope of security in the world, EVER.

Joan

Kiwi - Did say thanks and voted straight away - See it did not go through. Once again 'Thanks'

Joe Camel

Storm clouds on the horizon. Melanie's lead has narrowed to just 50 votes, equivalent to 1.2 percentage points.

phil

margaret J I think you have misunderstood raymonds english -he was being complimentary :)
I HAVE VOTED

Joe Camel

In the three-and-a-half hours since my previous post, Melanie has added a further 152 votes (now on 1425) but she has been overtaken by Brand X, which has added 226 votes in the same period, going from 1223 to 1449 votes. Please regard this alert as a call to action.

AF Austin, Texas

I just told these people about you and your site....ck them out...http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/ggraham/2009/01/06/one-pissed-off-dude-5/

KateA

Well done Melanie. No writer is more deserving of such acknowledgement. As always take great care. Regards

hadrian

Hey- I've just registered my vote, Mel!
Come on, other Melaphiles, it's the easiest thing in the orld to do and a real blow for one of the few astute, freedom fighting journalists of our day.
Just glad Mr F.Nelson wasn't also nominated as I'd've been in a terrible quandry!

Tas Walker

Congratulations!!! Wonderful.

kiwi

I have a hunch that the Moonbats are tactically voting for the 'arty farty' blog, "Created in Birmingham", in an attempt to prevent a Melanie Phillips victory - it's now a matter of national security that we don't let the buggers win:)

phil

kiwi YOU HAVE IT RIGHT FOR SURE -they are the kings of dirty tricks .no offence to the other blog site -maybe he will do a john sargeant :)

Beyond Row

Kiwi and Phil, maybe you should get out more? The whole world doesn't have a conspiracy against you and everything you like. If you actually took the time to check out Created in Birmingham, you'll find it's a great blog, posting pockets of creativeness and making peoples lives better. Created in Birmingham has a massive following and not only that, they're the most intelligent and web savvy people around, it’s called viral marketing. Despite Melanie's readership CiB are going to win because they deserve it. It’s run on no budget whatsoever, Melanie goes home with a pay packet at the end of the month, these guys don’t.

Vicki from Phoenix Arizona

You're the best! I look at your site daily.

Liam

You lost - there is hope for mankind!
