The High Tory view in the eighteenth century preferred lowered taxation and deplored Whig support for a standing army, an expanding empire and commerce.
Examples of English High Tory views from the twentieth century onward would be those of the novelists Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Burgess, poet T. S. Eliot, Members of Parliament such as John Biggs-Davison, Julian Amery,[REF] John Heydon Stokes, Alan Clark,[REF] Peter Tapsell,[REF] Jacob Rees-Mogg,[REF] and the philosopher Roger Scruton [REF].
