Yet Another Study that Exaggerates COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness

A recent study titled ‘Averted mortality by COVID-19 vaccination in Belgium between 2021 and 2023’ published in the journal Vaccine claims that 12,800 COVID-19 deaths among people aged 65 years and over were averted, representing a reduction in Covid mortality of 54%. Presumably the study was carried out in good faith and, while it does […]

The Death of Britain

The Death of Britain

The furore raised by Professor Matt Goodwin’s latest research – that White Brits will become a minority in the UK by 2063 – is somewhat unjustified. This is neither a knock on Goodwin personally (I like what I’ve seen of him, for what it’s worth), nor his conclusions. It’s merely the fact that such information

Greta’s Gaza Getaway

Is it a fish? Is it a boat? No, it’s worse, it’s Greta on a boat!

Burqas and British Values 

The impeachment of Warren Hastings, the Norway Debate, Sir Geoffrey Howe savaging Margaret Thatcher – great parliamentary moments all. No matter how long our country lasts, or how low our descendants’ standards stoop, we can be confident no session of the current PMQs will be counted in their number. Every week, the stoppable force of

Can Democracy Survive? 

Shoplifters and Liberal Democrats have more in common than either group might care to admit. When one walks out of a shop with a packet of butter down their trousers (for whatever later use…) or the other blocks a development to preserve the value of their property, both are seeking to maximise their own benefit.

How Do We Deal With China?

The United States has implemented substantial tariffs on Chinese imports, and is discovering just how dangerously dependent it has become on products from that country. We in the West naively believe that dealing with China is like dealing with another western country, this could not be further from the truth. China is an autocratic single-party state,

Diversity in Islamabad

The New Conservative, always quick off the blocks with the latest news, has a scoop. Let us be the first to announce the appointment of former Rotherham resident Percival Thistlewick as the new Mayor of Islamabad. The appointment has sparked controversy, as Thistlewick does not speak Urdu or any of the other languages used in

SAS

Who Scares Wins 

I recall an SAS story, told to me by a Catholic priest following the First Gulf War, where the SAS played a crucial role in spotting targets for the RAF which still horrifies me. The story involved an SAS unit crawling through the Iraqi desert. Suddenly, they encounter some shepherds and are clearly spotted. The
