And down goes the card. Oh well. To the substance, you may have read Scruton’s Budapest speech in full but your repeated description of him as some kind of contrarian gadfly was just wrong. That’s not who he is, even if I disagree with him on most things.

Idk David, maybe there are better uses of your talents than constantly defending people with whom you disagree about everything from being criticized?

Have you read any of his serious work? I strongly recommend Fools, Frauds and Firebrands

The thing about Scruton is that you can't separate any of his horrid views from each other. He is such a rigorous thinker that it's an interlocked total system in which the rightness of fox hunting is tied to the wrongness of listening to Nirvana.

He's a good example of the Paradox of Tolerance - it has to be War. His ideal world is one in which most of us couldn't breathe.
