What kind of a man supports immigration only so they can take the lower jobs in society, so the white people don't have to do them? Let's these immigrants land in southampton and give them £10 and a free rail ticket to go anywhere other than live in southampton because it was a proud, white city. These slums were created and then when they became isolated and threatened by the culture that they were confronted with, they were blamed for isolating themselves and not interacting with those around them.

When indian/punjabi people came, their families often had to share room and beds with other families. Sleeping in them when the other person did a night shift or sharing them with people they didn't even know. There weren't english classes to help them integrate and brown people were stuck with the concept that they had been invited to work in a society where they were not wanted. Many of them were educated to degree level but still wouldn't have a hope in getting any job other than one in a factory.

Yes, these were most societal problems but what did Powell do to ease them? Nothing. Apart from learn two indian languages, great. I don't choose to glorify Powell and overlook the suffering of my grand/forefathers, the same way people do with Churchill (a ponce that he was).
