Atlantic GeoComo ser ConservadorEstava a preparar o jantar quando recebo uma mensagem por Whatsapp, num chat de grupo, onde um pastor evangélico, seguindo a recomendação de um padre católico local, pergunta se alguém tinha lido ‘Como ser um Conservador’ de Sir Roger Scruton. Confesso que dando-me mal com nomes, não estava a ver quem era o autor, mas o título obrigou a uma olhada assim que fossem postas as batatas e cenouras a cozer. Escrevi o nome no duckduckgo e apareceu logo a cara, e essas sou óptimo a decorar, e também jurei...
