The BBC gives the lion's share of attention to the complaints about Scruton, even if they are the minority of listener views, in order to provide balance for allowing him to express his thoughts in the first place.

But that's no excuse for the mad PC crew at the BBC pushing an anti-free speech agenda. <br /><br />They are so stupid: they'd be the first to be rounded up to be beheaded or sold off in the slave market.

I don't believe it was even right-wing in any normal sense of the word. Unless the left has now abandoned the concept of free speech altogether. What struck me so forcefully was how wonderfully articulate and logical his arguments were - so free of platitudes. To use a prosaic term I might even describe it as common sense. I haven’t heard any of the follow up so it’s hard to comment, but are his critics so numerous, or do they just shout louder? Am I indeed so out of touch?Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818860172734529356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-71094506109203011832015-11-06T20:44:35.631+00:002015-11-06T20:44:35.631+00:00Disbelief was my initial reaction too.
In fact, ...Disbelief was my initial reaction too. <br /><br />In fact, my jaw had already well-and-truly dropped before the first minute was out. Roger Bolton's introduction laid out all the censorious madness to come from the very start. <br /><br />Roger Scruton took it all in his stride. He's had around thirty years' experience of this kind of thing. I'm still surprised 'A Point of View' added him to their previously right-of-centre-free cast list.
