"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." -Roger Scruton

They English way of life he refers too is disappearing... Mass migration has turned many of the major cities into something very much not English.

He spoke twenty years ago perhaps, and was considered a sage and might as well not have spoken, for all that he was not heard by authority:nor are the rest of us, or ever shall be and thus we know that there is no salvation in mankind, either in the prophet or the king.
