I miss him too. I remember a comment he made on James D's pod, where he said to James, we will never be happy because we are critical thinkers, something which resonated with me.

Thank you, Laura. Heart-felt. I remember my daughter's reaction when I imparted to her the news of Sir Roger's death. It was a long, wailing 'Nooooo'. He should, of course, have been Lord Scruton of Malmesbury or somesuch title. His thoughts and deeds live on.

Yes we all miss him Laura, a giant among men a real gentle-man with an intellect the size of Jupiter and the left hated him.

He lamented the demise of England many years ago in his delightful tome :- England, an Elegy.

He's turning in his grave now !
