Roger Scruton - hypocrite

Roger Scruton, the right-wing foxhunting *removed**removed**removed**removed*wit who offered his
services to place opinion pieces in the newspapers to help tobacco
bosses murder people with cancer, said that he and his fellow foxhunters
will ride out to exercise the hounds and if the hounds chase a fox he'll
call 'stop, stop!'. He must think he's so clever to take the piss in
such a way. He's stopped going on about how he will openly defy the ban,
and how he recognises that "the consequence of such defiance can only be
the serious risk of certain criminal conviction, and possible
imprisonment." (Quote from his 'Hunting Declaration').

One word from the in$urance companie$ and 'queen and country' central
command, and he wimps out!

Cf. Niall Ferguson, the 'royalist' 'historian' who said the
blood-drenched imperialist recolonisation of Iraq should be
hypocritical. As if anyone without shit for brains thought
American-State-backed 'democracy' was ever anything else!

Bourgeois social thought has been dead for 200 years. Boil it down and
it always resolves to 'we've got power, and you're just scum'[*].


Note

(*) More exactly, it gets to the twin ideas of 'the poor smell bad' and
'the poor shag like rabbits', but I digress.

give Coca-Cola to your scum, and your best teddy-bear to
Oxfam, and expect us to lick your frigid fingers for the
rest of your frigid life." (Mick Travis, 'If...', 1968)
