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 […]
The Reintroduction of Capital Punishment Read More »
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

(Photograph: Liton Ali, CC BY 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0>, via Wikimedia Commons) In a brilliantly written piece for spiked, titled ‘Gary Lineker: patron saint of the over-privileged’, the inestimable Julie Burchill skewers His Holiness for his shameless self-promotion and utter lack of self-awareness. When it comes to virtue-signalling, as described previously in these pages, Gary Lineker really is

Now I have your attention I am going to tell you something that is nothing to worry about, we’ve been here before; we survived the last time and, essentially, it is a ‘non-story.’ But you’re going to hear about it anyway. There is a new Covid-19 variant circulating in the USA, and it has reached

I had never heard of cluster bombs until I served in the First Gulf War. These were used very effectively to paralyse the Iraqi Air Force. The RAF dropped them on Iraqi airfields and, as their pilots and ground crew did not know how many would explode, or when, the strategy was successful. In an

One of my most enduring childhood memories is watching Edith Nesbit’s The Railway Children, masterfully brought to cinematic life by the loving hand of Lionel Jeffries. The film’s denouement brought my 6- or 7-year-old self to tears (and still does), but it was not until recently that I fully understood why. Watching the steam unfurl
