Roger Partridge: ‘Radical Conservatism’ is an Oxymoron

I have no doubt that Peter Smith loves the West. You can feel it in every line of his writing – the anger at its enemies, the contempt for its betrayal, the frustration at its leaders who lack the courage to defend it.

While Peter is writing in response to my recent essay, I share his frustration. And I suspect we share something deeper still: a sense that we were born into a civilisation worth preserving, and that we now live in a time when that task has never felt more urgent.
