We don’t have blasphemy laws any longer in Britain, but let’s face it – we don’t need them. Since the Charlie Hebdo massacre seven years ago, the western world has become wonderfully adept at self-censorship. Anyone foolish enough not to adopt this posture when faced with possibly offending Muslims (notice I didn’t say Islam, Islamists, […]

It would take a heart of stone not to sympathise with the plight of North Korean defectors, desperately fleeing the world’s most totalitarian dictatorship across the border into the prosperous, free South. They leave behind everything they know: their families, their friends, and however harsh, a sense of home that the North provides; all for

Are you in possession of a penis? The toxic male ones I mean, not the nice feminine ones the ladies are sporting these days. If so, stop right there you bastard! You could be sexually harassing women without even knowing it. Thank God for Bristol City’s (steady on) ‘If it’s unwanted it’s not OK’ posters,

“Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” sang Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady. I doubt he would get away with it now. Imagine! Why can’t a woman be more like a man? Men are so honest, so thoroughly square; Eternally noble, historically fair. Who, when you win, will always give your back

On my early morning walk to the gym, I have to walk past my former employer, the University of Hull. This week I glanced over the road to see yet another virtue signal, literally, hoisted up the flagpole. The Ukrainian flag. I have previously written in these pages on another piece of flag-waving from the
The problem with women’s football is that when I am watching it, it appears nobody else is. The stadia in which it is played are virtually empty and even major events such as the Women’s World Cup Final only get viewed worldwide by 23 million people compared with the 517 million who viewed the World

I’m not a conspiracy theorist (you can just hear the ‘but’ coming, can’t you?) and I am not an ‘anti-vaxxer’ (refer to previous material in parentheses). This is despite penning two large essays—The New Conservative passim—on the origins of globalism and its current manifestations with Dr Niall McCrae. I have also been very critical of
Who in Britain recalls the pandemic? Those long summer days of 2020 in our back gardens sipping gin and tonics, ‘working’ from home and deciding which face mask to wear. We waited with bated breath for the weekly Covid-19 updates from our Great Leader flanked by his trusty medical and scientific colleagues Professors Witless and

The New Conservative has barely been live a month, but we’ve already had more than our fair share of teething problems. Having said that, there have also been some unexpected benefits. First of all, it’s refreshing to have MPs suddenly willing to reply to your queries. Secondly, a magazine brand does seem to open doors
