- New Culture Forum I So What You're Saying Is...with Peter Whittle and Sir Roger Scruton
Published on 29 Jun 2019
The pair discuss politics, conservatism and of course the now infamous interview with the New Statesman magazine.
About The Show So What You're Saying Is... (SWYSI) is a weekly discussion show with experts and significant figures from the political, cultural and academic worlds.
The host is Peter Whittle (@PRWhittle), Founder & Director of The New Culture Forum, a Westminster-based think tank that seeks to challenge the cultural orthodoxies dominant in the media, academia, and British culture/society at large.
Sad news today. I always find listening to Sir Roger to be calming. A voice of reason espousing beauty, grace, and truthfulness. He deserves to be resting among angels. Condolences to his family and friends.
yes, very, very sad. We've lost a great man. RIP Sir Roger, you will be missed.
he doesnt half talk a right load of far right revisionist cobblers
At least he lived as long let us hope those he was too decent to openly denounce don't. But we have our Douglas Murray to carry the torch
@@helenmark3214 I just start watching this man, and now you say he has passed, Dam!
Have you ever tried seeing a professional therapist?
It fascinates me to watch the man, Roger Scruton, with all his intellect, thoughtfulness and charm and he still maintains his boyhood shine! A delightfully fresh man!
Can't believe he was diagnosed with terminal cancer around this time.....RIP
RIP, Great Man.
God Bless and God Speed Sir Roger Scruton. He must have been poorly at the recording of this episode which makes this even more poignant. How fortunate we have been, to have had him in the world.
A great man, he will be missed.
Cannot tell you how glad I am hes dead
“Unfortunately, we're entering an era of illiteracy.” True and truly frightening.
Sad to learn today of Sir Roger Scruton's death. This talk with Peter Whittle just six months ago showed that he still had much to contribute and give to the world in terms of thought and ideas. His loss will be keenly felt.
So true. A decent civilised and good man. Those three adjectives don't seem very dramatic but are. Sir Roger personified decency civilised discourse.
Absolutely fascinating to hear Sir Roger Scruton in this excellent, sympathetic, gracious but pithy interview. We have truly lost a great man. Delightful interviewing style from Peter Whittle.
I want to write so many things of my own life in the USSR, which is almost photographic to what has developed now in Europe, but i won´t. I admire you, Roger! Know that there are people who know Your value and importance even if they are unknown to You.
Yes! Write it down, please share vignettes! We don't appreciate what we have. And well said about Roger.
I agree. Write it down. Pass it onto your families! Self publish a few copies. Or, have a special chest of family HISTORY/memories.
I have little books written by totally non-famous people who published their memoires, or their poetry. They put their stories down to pass them along.
We all leave this earthly realm and it's the stories that have imparted wisdom, and joy, through tragedy, hard learned lessons, endurance, beauty, truth, joy, love, comedy, that help to brighten this world, and keep people going, and working to continue to make this world a hopefully better place.
I am so glad I came across Scruton's video's awhile before he died.
RIP Sir Roger.
I will add to the two previous replies. Yes, write the memoirs. They're valuable.
The Duma exists in Brussels now...
What a beautiful mind.
I think the great problem with people being unable to engage with culture in the proper way is that they are alienated from proper consolation. What i find great about higher culture is that it consoles me as i face my mortality. In contrast, the manner in which the "activist" lives grinds the soul into ash. I can't imagine any of them facing their mortality with dignity.
Nice comment.
@@aucourant9998 Thank you.
Such woolly thinking. You are throwing around words like culture and activist could mean anything!
Beautiful thinking, your comment is opening new insights for me.
@@jasonchambers8010 Yes. Interesting, but vague.
Winnie the pooh...Maybe you have a big essay, or a little book in you to expound on your thoughts here. An interesting take. Some of the current 'activism' I do find quite repulsive and very destructive. But I do not assume all 'activists' are repulsive. Scrutons venture into the socialist eastern bloc countries were quite 'activist', and brave.There are currently those like Ayaan hirsi Ali I greatly admire.
These are very interesting topics.
R.I.P. You brought the world beauty.
Whether one agrees with his ideas or not, he was certainly a man of principle -- great interview.
I have no idea how anyone could not agree on wanting to at least bring more beauty into the world.
Truth and humility. Thank you, Sir Roger.
Sadly, I only learned about Sir Roger Scruton just few months ago. I wish I had known him sooner. But so thankful for the videos available that even though he's gone, his words are still here to cherish and acknowledge. He was such an intellectual but gentle and confident. Thanks for your great contributions to Conservatism and all that you've done to educate us. ❤
I hadn't watched this before. I loved this man. Gentle and kind and his ideas opened my mind. I have several of his books. At least his books will continue to provide illumination for mankind. This was a good interview by Peter Whittle. I must join the NCF!
What a treasure he was in our midst and how dearly missed.

Douglas Murray is a real hero
& Roger Scruton will be greatly missed .
I first encountered his thought when watching a debate of sorts and I was still a social justice warrior back then.Even then, the soberness and clarity of his ideas and the rational and decent way in which he articulated them struck me as admirable. May he rest in peace.
Listening to this two years on I’m still taken aback by the way he was treated by the party that was supposed to be in Sir Roger’s corner. It’s an existentially important concern that that party sorts itself out NOW.
He speaks so simply and what a relief it is.
Great series Peter. Thank you.
Thank you both.
I miss this brilliant man. It is such an enormous loss for the world.
Fascinating - thank you.
So happy that there is this island of sanity on youtube! Yet I am not Conservative in anything except the idea of Good Taste
Cathy Newman approves
R.I.P. to a brilliant mind.
I totally agree about the life sapping, ugly, unfriendly, poor quality, unsustainable homes that are being built in the UK on a cheap template (cheap in quality, not price) and totally out of character with the best of its surroundings and best buildings. Built for profit of developers only - not comfort of the home occupier or aesthetic appreciation or the environment, not in appropriate locations. Templates unnecessarily ruining people’s lives and passed by planning departments due to govt and developer greed - people who lack integrity and imagination. We need beauty and quality and sustainability at a fair price.
Mandy, I have been part of the home building industry. The building industry is a cartel between the government, the banks and the builder. Modern homes are not robust structures. Every third house sold is profit.
Only 49 comments!!! And you have 1 million views! How is that possible? People are confused, they are nagged by what is being lost, not conserved. Sir Roger reminds us
Wonderful to hear and see Sir Roger again.
Farewell Roger.
lovely to see your kind expression again
Thank you.
Rest in peace
RIP Sir Roger
Indeed. Gone to soon.
Interesting watching this back and knowing what we know about the sciences now in the culture wars, ie. 'decolonising maths' etc. Nothing is safe from the ideological war.
Looking onward it does seem that the Conservative Party as a whole in the UK is timid and stating any conviction about what it believes. True sad state of affairs.
...he's no Roger Scruton, but I have come to appreciate President Trump for this reason, but occasionally he crosses a line and strays from the point
@Tammy S. I am glad you noticed that.
As a citizen in the U.S. I think Trump actually cared about our liberties. More often than our current President elect to be. I am often in disagreement with him, but he did speak some truths sometimes that were quite refreshing, that I just do not recall any politician saying for quite a long time.
One of my conclusions is because Trump does have some backbone, and he is pro-American, that is why the globalists backed, and pushed for Biden. Biden has no backbone, is a 'yes', man, so is perfect for the Great Reset ideologues.
I hope whatever those power tools in the background are making is beautiful 😜
God bless roger wise wise man.
🤞Please, put Roger Scruton’s film on Beauty on TH-cam!

It would also be good to have Alicija Gescinska's "Wanderlust" documentary up on the official channel.
My favourite professor at uni was about 90, he'd retired and came back as a tutor and he accidentally set fire to our stuff and said 'I used to have the huge office a 2 day camel ride from here should never have left' he was wonderful and I read chemistry not lunatic studies but he'd have abhorred this madness
I just can't help watching these but it's not doing my mental health any favours. It's just so depressing to watch my country slowly get taken over without even a whimper from the masses

Miss him
I miss this man so much. I wish he had never smoked.
I like where he notes that the marxism was put into practice, and it wasnt simply "inefficient", but it was "evil".
Simple as that.
Is this on the main channel - How come I didn’t see this?
Release ROGER!
RIP Tory Party sadly
What a loss to the world when the great RS passed away.
RIP.
🙏🏽✨

That moment when your interview with the world's greatest living conservative philosopher coincides with the prolonged use of an angle grinder.
I think it's a circular saw
@@erdemir5641 Jeremy Corbyn's teeth gnashing!
If this guy gets cancelled,
what chance have the rest of us got?
First free election in the UK too.. Thank you Mr Trump. .
🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌💖💖💖
What a loss to England and the world.
“Sir”? I’m out…
The thinkable earthquake identically use because alarm canonically rain until a feeble feigned march. good, jagged gasoline
You are learning the wrong lesson form the collapse of the The East-European communism. The reason for the collapse was not the rise of national sentiment. It was pure financial and economic bankruptcy. It's a mere wishful thinking on your part to assume the former which doesn't cast a good light on you as a philosopher. 14:55
