The Mallard is a small right-wing blog set up in 2016 that has published a printed magazine since April 2021. Describing itself as “conservative”, the outlet is far to the right of even the current incarnation of the Conservative Party and gives voice to a niche brand of “High Tory” philosophy, popular among some right-wing university students and few others.

Despite the efforts to maintain a somewhat mainstream appearance, articles reveal that The Mallard’s authors share much in common with more lowbrow outlets of the far right; a contributor argued in October that London’s pro-Palestine demonstrations raised “a question of race; the preservation of the White British,” while editor-in-chief Samuel Martin complains of “anti-whiteness” and endorses anti-migrant tweets from the fascist activist Steve Laws on X/Twitter.

In March, an article written by Lotus Eaters host Benjamin “Beau” Dade in 2022 was uncovered by HOPE not hate. In it, he fantasised about deporting “millions” of British citizens so the country could “rid itself of the foreign plague we have been diseased with”. The article was deleted from the website shortly after publication.
