The University of Warwick Conservative Association is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Sir Roger Scruton, and send condolences to his family. He was one of the great conservative Intellectuals of the modern era, and we are all worse off from his passing.

@jojefferson99

A Warwick Alumnus and local MP, we are honoured that Dame Andrea has agreed to take up this new role with us and look forward to working with her in the future!
First up on our ‘Meet the 1965 Executive Committee’ is our Chairman, Hugh Herring!
Hugh oversees the country’s most active university conservative society and will continue our association tradition of sending a card to the monarch every Christmas, the first ever to a King.

Rest in Peace, and God Save the King
