If conservatives put these freedoms into practice they would win every time, but every time they get in charge they eliminate freedoms of religion, books, free speech, control of our bodies, what we ingest, and protections from big corporate and tax payer debt.
Ответить"Real sympathy has a cost" - unlike virtue signalling - man is full of wisdom.
ОтветитьSir. Scruton Thank you!! Your transmision is based in a rich global knoledge and vision of your own inteligence❤
ОтветитьQuite brilliant! Sir Roger always makes a point of steel-manning his opponents and highlighting where they are right, before pointing out the flaws in their otherwise well-intentioned views. If only all thinkers were that honest!
ОтветитьThe evil English created Hitler 😈😈😈😈
ОтветитьLies ! Russia❤ liberated the world and Europe from the Nazis 😈😈😈
ОтветитьThank you for making this available, it is very interesting. None of us can be perfect of course, but I do think he did not really properly engage with the question about negativity on the right. There is surely a difference between genuine conservatism - trying to keep valuable things - and a politics based on fear and/nostalgia. I cannot see anything in the idea of a hard Brexit but a bonfire and a type of revolution, nothing that is in any way genuinely conservative. It is probably also worth remembering that it was not a publication of the left that called senior members of the judiciary as 'enemies of the people'.
ОтветитьAs conservatives go, this dude is pretty mid
ОтветитьI just adore him... and always will.
ОтветитьA fabulous man!
ОтветитьWhat a brilliant address( and questions) What a privilege to hear this warm and loving man.
Think on these things, question and learn. We need this in these times.
RIP
ОтветитьRoger Scruton has verbalised for me how I feel about society today. Freedom of speech is not available to all, only those who follow the demands of the vocal minorities. Who is there now to lead us to a really fair society, where all have equity to speak their views without fear.
ОтветитьFalsehoods such as suggesting Socialism is equivalent to Communist/Totalitarianist movements are poor equivalencies
ОтветитьPeople (society world movement) are proud of taking advantage of others... And against it ONLY if it happens to them. Blind to themselves and their own actions!
ОтветитьRoger Scrotum
Not an insult, I feel the same way about him as I do my own wrinkly sack
Forever present, gifted to me by my ancestors, and necessary for the survival of me and my people
God bless you Roger Scrotum

ОтветитьWhen capitalism fails the tax payer pays , if a small business go's under they go under , the too big to fail argument aint fckn cutting it .
ОтветитьSo it ain't me nogin its me peepers? Well that's just loverly.
ОтветитьWhat an amazing experience to be able to hear this.
ОтветитьHe says 'There is an alternative to revolutionary change, and that is not changing'. How about non-revolutionary change ? And what state exactly is it that he doesn't want to change from ? The way things were in 1950, 1960, 70, 80 ... 2018 ? Whatever state it is that he doesn't want to change from, one thing that can be said for certain is rhat we didn't arrive at that state by not changing. What's he on about ?
ОтветитьAny English people in the audience?
Oh, there's one
perfect ad before this talk? 'be careful wot u wish for'
ОтветитьPeace Love and Conservatism ☮️
ОтветитьScruton has written an interesting book on social liberals and left-wing intellectuals. Being a conservative, Scruton convinced me to become a social liberal. The power of freedom of thought, the main liberal value...
ОтветитьMr Scruton still teaching us.
ОтветитьGod bless this man.
ОтветитьThere’s no climate change, this is BS. The elite wants power to control our lives.
ОтветитьThere's a massive elephant in the room and no-one is talking about it.
ОтветитьScruton have some interesting things to say about aesthetics, but his talk on politics is very simple and not particularly intelligent or up to date. I'm disappointed.
Ответитьah the socialist capitalist, I was struggling to find words for the virtue-signaling people who love to hear their own voices around me. but this term is a welcome addition to my vocabulary.
ОтветитьEternal rest grant unto Roger, oh Lord,
and may perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, through the mercy of God,
Rest In Peace.
Amen
Roger . . Scrotum ? How dare you !
Ответить"And at the top there will be people who speak with your accent but who are no better than the rest of us". Sir Roger isn't the teddy bear he seems to be.
ОтветитьIt's amazing how out of touch with reality some of these young students are ... they think because they are at Oxford they somehow know more than others, and yet they don't have knowledge of history or experience of human psychology ... the young woman from Poland doesn't even know her countries history, it seems like the liberals at Oxford have brainwashed her ... and sadly these privileged young people will hold influential positions in society while having no understanding of the lives of most people or the benefits they were bequeathed by their ancestors
ОтветитьIf you accept his contextual structure, then he's right...
but, to my mind, he mis-defines the context....
thus, is wrong....
As a moderate middle-grounder, all throughout, I couldn't help hearing Scruton's encapsulations of Right vs Left as the Oxbridge crowd vs Antifa -- nobility vs anarchy. He really needs to grow beyond his stereotypical dualistic worldview. Perhaps a bit of Buddhist meditation might help. Tedious tosh.
ОтветитьIt’s Worzel Gummidge
ОтветитьHilarious that all the things Scrotum mentions as the cause of the rise of Thatcher - stagnation, industrial decline, strikes, shortages - are happening in the UK now thanks to Tory politicians who worship Thatcher.
ОтветитьYes a true englishman, able to cast himself as victim and those opposing his inherited wealth and privilege the aggressors. Along with a little bit of slippery slope argument for good measure.
Critical reasoning skills….
no right to talk about general public simple answer
ОтветитьInteresting. Sir Roger was part of the grammar school take over of Academia to mirror that of other British institutions, and which, in turn, have changed the nature of what it is to be a Briton.
ОтветитьExcellent speech and nicely handled questions.
Ответитьa sickening continuance of tory privilege waffle, thank goodness hes gone
ОтветитьDo these woke types realise how stupid, pathetic and immature they are?
