"I have an *entirely* positive view of Roger Scruton Cafes"

Does that include a positive view of how they're funded? Because it looks like they're funded by Orban's ministry of propaganda wearing a nearly-defunct pro-liberty foundation as a skinsuit:

"They are welcome to lock themselves in to his beliefs and we should hold them to it."

If only we could. No doubt Scruton's widow, Sophie, who's likely not a political naïf herself, thinks she is. Perhaps taking Orbanist money to commemorate her husband's legacy even strikes her as subversive. But, since Orban's ministry of propaganda finds it worthwhile to fund these cafes, it must think it'll benefit somehow.
