I tried to read one of his books on art once, but I fell asleep while 
reading the 3th page. Why bother! Sruton is not the only one. Canada's 
most popular catholic establishment philosopher Charles Taylor called 
him a kind of devil in his 'Malaise of modernity'. It would have been 
worse if these guys would have praised Foucault and welcome him into 
their camp.
