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.

Nothing is more misleading than comparison between the Commonwealth immigrant in Britain and the American Negro. The Negro population of the United States, which was already in existence before the United States became a nation, started literally as slaves and were later given the franchise and other rights of citizenship, to the exercise of which they have only gradually and still incompletely come. The Commonwealth immigrant came to Britain as a full citizen, to a country which knew no discrimination between one citizen and another, and he entered instantly into the possession of the rights of every citizen, from the vote to free treatment under the National Health Service.
Whatever drawbacks attended the immigrants arose not from the law or from public policy or from administration, but from those personal circumstances and accidents which cause, and always will cause, the fortunes and experience of one man to be different from another's.

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

Sorry but now you are not just being inaccurate you are being silly and childish how can you lay the limitations of the welfare state at Powell feet.
Read the speech with an open mind, because like it, or not, much of what he forecast so-be-it at a lower level has come into being.
