Janet Daley (born 21 March 1944) is an American-born conservative journalist living and working in Britain. She is currently a columnist for The Sunday Telegraph.[1]

Life and career[]

Daley is an immigrant into the UK.[2][better source needed]

During the 1960s, Daley identified as a Marxist.[3] She developed an interest in the philosophy of design and in 1982 published Design Creativity and Understanding Design Objectives for Design Studies (Vol. 3, No 3), where she suggested that, as part of the creative process, individual designers bring a set of schemata to their design creation, including visual, verbal and value systems.[4]

During the 1980s she was a member of Hornsey Labour Party.[5]

Daley left academia to become a full time journalist in 1987.[2][clarification needed]

Daley was a vocal opponent of legislative changes in the UK during the 1990s that would have equalised the age of consent for homosexuals to that of heterosexuals. Writing in The Times she described gay life as "aggressive freemasonry", and argued that homosexuality led to "childlessness, instability and mortal danger from Aids.”[6]

Daley expressed support of the ‘Leave’ campaign in the 2016 United Kingdom Referendum on Membership of the European Union.[citation needed] She was a vocal supporter of the Conservative Party in the 2019 United Kingdom General Election.[citation needed] Daley has been married since 1967 and has two daughters.[2]
