I was born on the wrong side of the tracks and on the wrong side of the equator to be remotely interested in rugby. I have seen games at Murrayfield, Twickenham and at the Suncorp stadium in Brisbane, when I was on the right side of the equator. But the game leaves me relatively unexcited, […]

Our police forces in the UK these days are not exactly acquitting themselves with distinction. The Metropolitan Police has been in such a mess that it is being reformed and overseen to ensure that it focuses less on misogyny and murder (by its officers), and more on keeping people safe on the streets of London.

Shame has been brought on my family by the news that one of our grandchildren is a knife-wielding thug, who was found carrying a blade into school. Had it not been for the quick thinking and swift action of one of his teachers, carnage may have ensued. The teacher deserves a medal for probably averting

If you didn’t know better, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Notting Hill Carnival was a scene from a Richard Curtis film – where Hugh Grant rubs shoulders with Hollywood luminaries, and it’s all a bit twee. The reality of what played out on London’s most affluent streets last weekend (as it does

Dear readers, The New Conservative rarely makes any requests of its audience (which is of course as it should be), however on this particular occasion I should be most grateful if you would consider signing the attached petition on the reintroduction of the death penalty in Britain. Over the past few days I have been

By all means make the case against capital punishment (it’s a strong one), but ask yourself this: how are you going to feel when Letby decides to gender transition, in order to move to a prison with a bit more of a nightlife? What will your reaction be when the BBC offers her her own podcast, or she lands a 12-part Netflix series and book deal? It hardly bears thinking about, because you can guarantee that someone, somewhere is weighing up precisely that financial opportunity.

Being in touch with your feminine side now confers such an advantage on modern athletes, that mainstream sports are finally wising up. Cycling, swimming, and rugby have already taken steps to ban ‘trans women’ from female competition, and others are following suit. This means that the men’s B league is having to look further afield

As Conservatives, we applaud those who make a success of their lives through hard work. We admire those who successfully employ their talents, and we support those who do what is right through kindness and consideration to others. We also understand that for any public services to exist, the private sector first needs to create the

Need to pop to the shop for a loaf of bread or a pint of milk? If you do, wearing a helmet and carrying a rolling pin would be wise. Retail theft, the act of stealing goods from a shop, is a major problem in the UK at the moment and nothing seems to be

Policing is currently at a crisis point in Britain. As almost 95% of crime goes unsolved, officer morale is down, and public trust at an all-time low. For all intents and purposes, the police are now much like the NHS—a non-service the taxpayer is forced to fund but cannot use. Which is why (again like
