British journalist and blogger Melanie Phillips was brilliant on a program broadcast this weekend by C-SPAN. She discussed her book Londonistan and the decay of British society in the face of soft-headed multiculturism, open borders, and ascendant Islamism.
This blurb from Natan Sharansky sounds about right:
"Melanie Phillips’s Londonistan is a last-minute warning for Britain and for much of the free world ... This book is powerful and frightening, but also courageous. In dictatorships, you need courage to fight evil; in the free world, you need courage to see the evil."
Her other message was that conditions in Great Britain are fraught with significance for the U.S.; their trends may become ours. As she noted, however, at least here there are counter-forces willing and able to fight back.
