Another person I enjoyed listening to and reading has died, Roger Scruton the philosopher and author lost a battle with cancer this weekend, aged 75 (far too young these days, and why is it that we always say "battle" in relation to cancer - more like a war that we're losing!). Someone I've only recently latched onto (last couple of years) but no question in my mind, an excellent thinker. Scruton was generally acknowledged to be on the Conservative side of the political spectrum but to be honest when I listened to him, many (not all) of his views just seemed sensible to me; sometimes the best solution isn't the most radical.
