Some of his points may very well have been true, but I find his 'rivers of blood' speech very racist and can't agree with it.

Most of the middle bit's true but instead of it being the immigrants fault it's the conservative's with cuts to NHS, education and housing. So not in the way he imagined..

Remembering Kerry

If I'd been around then most of his comments would have disgusted me.
I read more racism as to a fair bit he said. So,no I would not have agreed or supported him. Last edited by joeysteele; 26-05-2017 at 03:29 PM. |

If Enoch Powell was born into an immigrant family he would of had a different view.
Should one person decide how and where another person should live based on skin colour and the country you were born in/ |

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

The one thing that he has definitely got right is there is an overpopulation crisis in the UK due to open door immigration which means that jobs are hard to come by for anybody living in the UK (including the immigrants) it will be harder to get seen at the NHS due to the overpopulation, and of course there will be issues with Schools as it's gonna be very hard to get into a top School if there's loads more people in the country.
However Enoch Powel seems to just be against all immigrants just because he doesn't like them which I completely disagree with as some immigration is good for this country financially.

No doubting every word of that has come to fruition. We are living his prediction and many had no say in that. There are many kinds of oppression and that is one of them.

Wow...........i hoped i'd never in this day and age see people who call themselves British acting like cheeleaders for such a truly repugnant man!
Our ancestors gave their lives fighting to stop people like him from ever ruling this Country and i'm extremely grateful for that. Cheer on........... |
