Peterhouse Blue?

Arising out of the reading for a little something, here is one for you. The 1980s Radical Right was supposed to have been heavily influenced by the Peterhouse School. But while they might have agreed, and might still agree, with the architectural conclusions of David Watkin (although not enough to put any of them into practice), they did not and do not share the principles on which he arrived at them. And on which specific point did or do they agree with anything by Roger Scruton, or Maurice Cowling, or Edward Norman? On the contrary, Cowling's Mill and Liberalism, to cite only one of the most obvious examples, could have been written directly against them. Have they never read it?
