I hate updating my website. It is a chore. So, I put it off, depriving the literal handful of bots who visit it on a good day access to the latest flowering of my thought. It is not because it is hard – it is one of those off-the-shelf freebies which even idiots can master […]
Dear readers, This is a very brief note to let you know the state of play at The New Conservative. I have been hit by something nearing the perfect storm in terms of a personal life of late, and must rapidly begin a new job, move house, and negotiate my divorce appeal as it reaches

Life is like a jailer. As it wanders down the block, large ring of keys jangling on its hip, you never entirely know which cell it is going to unlock, and which memory will emerge, blinking, into the light. Just writing down three numbers the other day instantly shaved decades off my age. For the
Since I fell victim to the Karenocracy at my media company, and was shown the door last summer for not bending the knee to neo-Marxist dogma, I’ve been out of full-time work – except for a short time at the Royal Mail doing Christmas sorting.

In what looks like yet another ecumenical initiative by an adherent to the religion of peace, a 13-year-old schoolboy has stabbed two other teenagers at Kingsbury High School in Brent. The suspect is being held by police, and the counter-terrorism squad is investigating. To read the report in The Guardian you could be forgiven for

What do you want? I don’t mean that in a rude way, like a librarian disturbed from their crossword puzzle, but more generally. What are your desires? I’ll wait. And I’ll probably have to wait for a while. You have many. Even if we set aside the ones you’ll never tell anyone… At the most
Are readers of TNC aware of a daily newsletter called Global Health NOW which is published by the Bloomberg School of Public Health at the Johns Hopkins University? Probably not, as if you have an ounce of sense then the words ‘public health’, ‘Bloomberg’ and ‘Johns Hopkins’ in the same sentence are probably enough to
