Melanie, please let your faithful readers know if there is anything concrete we can do to support you in the recent backlash you've been subjected to. Thank you.

Simone

Be careful what you say, Melanie. We don't have free speech in this country anymore.
I've just read the Fraser Nelson piece, and I'm disgusted.

We should be demanding our freedoms back, yet we have all allowed this to happen without a peep of protest. This could not happen in America.

Good luck with Twitter, and don't let them stop you speaking your mind.

Jolly good, twit on!

Gershon

I presume that you won't have a problem with your tweets being re-tweeted.

Robbo

Why has your last blog on this site been removed?

Robbo

Whoops - it's reappeared.

Alan Meyer

What about facebook?

Douglas Bass

An excellent development! It's about time, in my opinion!

Melanie,
You are the only light in the darkness that has become the United Kingdom.

Robin

What a welcome contrast to the likes of Stephen Fry. Thanks for everything.

Amy

Finally!!!

Lysanne

This almost drives me to join Twitter, but I will hold out in the hope you will add a Facebook account as well.

Melanie, your story (and its resulting response in Britain) has rearched the states, the land of supposed free speech. Without full disclosure, you only have half a story. And with full disclosure comes your (and others) inevitable conclusions. Keep shining the light in dirty corners, Melanie. It's unpleasant, but necessary. We must learn to call a spade a spade, even in the most politest of societies. To avoid it is pure folly.

Melanie, I see on the wikipedia site that you and my husband have the same birthday, year and all. Unfortunately, I think my husband is much less clear minded than you seem to be. He listens to the BBC via sattelite radio and he thinks I'm too narrow-minded because I like Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham. I hope you continue to tell the Brits what's what. God knows there's not enough of that going around. Keep the faith.

Dear Melanie, your clear brave voice is a real hope for all those who still believe in true journalism.

I am an expat living in Israel for nearly 50 years. I have to commend you Melanie for your honest and eye-opening articles regarding Israel's 'hasbara'and the bashing which most newspapers in the UK handout towards Israel.I have complained about it for many years and have always felt Israel's side is not told as it should be. Israel has to find a good spokesperson to give the Israeli side of things...As of yet, all the spokespersons have let us down, and many made me cringe with embarrassment...

nearlyman

don't really rise to the notion that if I sign up to Twitter I might risk being known as a "Twit" - or am I just being a mite sensitive.....? OR even a "Twit"! :=D

Et tu, Melanie?! Ohh.. the anger!
