| Subject: Sir Roger Scruton dies aged 75: 'Greatest conservative of our time' who was sacked as govt advisor over false claims of anti-Semitism Sun Jan 12, 2020 4:32 pm | |
| Sir Roger Scruton, a revered conservative philosopher who cleared his name after being sacked as a government advisor over false anti-Semitism claims, has died after a six-month battle with cancer.
The Cambridge graduate - author of some 50 books on morals, politics, architecture and aesthetics - died on Sunday, with his family saying they are 'hugely proud of him and of all his achievements'.
Tory MEP Daniel Hannan tweeted: 'Very sad news. Professor Sir Roger Scruton, the greatest conservative of our age, has died. The country has lost a towering intellect. I have lost a wonderful friend.'
Sir Roger had been sacked as a government advisor in April last year after an interview he gave to The New Statesman which wildly misrepresented his views and led to claims of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
