The unpersoning of Sir Roger Scruton

I’ll leave the excellent Douglas Murray to tell you the disgusting story of how one of Britain’s foremost thinkers has been ambushed by a vile lefty “journalist” and how our toxic, spineless government has just rolled over.

Despicable. I’m not deeply familiar with Mr. Scruton’s writings, but the gems I’ve seen from the @Scruton_Quotes Twitter account have impressed me greatly. To cite one from today:

“In a religion, the first necessity is to persecute the heretic. You can observe that in the French Revolution, you observe it in the Russian Revolution, and you observe it on the Left today, certainly that you mustn’t step out of line”

It appears that’s exactly what’s happening here. I think the only answer to this kind of thing is to continue to challenge it. We need courageous individuals who will persist in speaking the truth no matter the consequences from the outrage mob; and in doing so, they will force the outrage mob to reveal its practice of suppressing free expression for all to see.
