In the tradition of Halifax and his admirers (e.g. Butterfield, Oakeshott, et al.), this blog is dedicated to the politics of skepticism (or anti-ideological politics, or even unprincipled politics, if you prefer).

quote for the day
We must be aware of one of the permanent optical illusions of historical study—the impression that all would have been well if men had only done “the right thing”. Herbert Butterfield
I don't belong to any club or group. I don't fish, cook, dance, endorse books, sign books, co-sign declarations, eat oysters,...go to church, go to analysts, or take part in demonstrations. V. Nabokov
