More from Steve Hayward of Power Line who adds, “I could go on all day about Sir Roger, but for now at least I’ll sign off with perhaps my favorite short quote from him: ‘A writer who says that there are no truths, or that all truth is ‘merely relative,’ is asking you not to believe him. So don’t.’”

He was a great intellect and a really humorous guy with a darling accent. Peace to him, and may his family and friends find comfort in their loss.

This explains a great deal....Why The world seems to be a bit grayer...duller today.

Our loss is heavens gain.

Makes you appreciate the incredible health care that Ruth B. Ginsburg receives, that being 10 years older than Scruton, and having had 4 different cancers, she still beats them, but he gets felled by the first cancer within 6 months.

Roger Scruton was a stand up guy with loads of integrity. It’s a shame what happened to him this last year. Young people could learn a lot from how he dealt with it.
