    Just a bit of trivia (oh and an idea of the kinds of sources Joe thinks is viable),

    Roger Scruton once described my field as 'sub-Marxist gobbledegook' taught by 'talentless individuals who can't get jobs in the media.'

    More recently he got chucked off several newspapers after it turned out he'd been given money by tobacco companies to write puff pieces for them in his newspaper columns.

    As you can imagine I'm not too open to his views on these or other matters.
