Default Re: Enoch Powell: the Great Lie survives

So that's why racists wore the badge "Enoch was right" after reading his speech and used it when attacking non white people?
Hem rather like those who high jack Islam to bomb people


Quote:
Because of course his speech was not racist at all, it' was merely ethnocentric. That's not racism, that's like believing that white people are more supreme and civilised than others and obviously all the non white people need to be exiled from England because white people can't even get hospital beds, can't send their children to school and that's terrible.
Well actually shortages in services due to overload effects all, as to sending back if you’re still relating to Powell if I recall correctly he merely wanted controlled immigration

Quote:
So obviously, instead of improving the medical sphere (god no!) we should blame it on the non white people and immigration!
A silly comment

Quote:
We imagined they'd do our dirty work but we didn't think about what happens when they're ill or they have children
Well precisely that’s what Powell was on about the lack of planning


Quote:
This is what you agree with? You don't admit it's racist because it represents your thoughts completely. Isn't that scary?
In respect of this particular speech of Powell whilst OTT much of the fears expressed by him have regrettably materialise, which is why belatedly there is now debate.

I guess that disappoints you since you really want to label me as a racist, it them means you don’t have to think about anything I write or post, you can just dismiss it as racist, rather the attribute of a closed mind

Heath sacked Powell after his Rivers of Blood speech, he said it was not needed at a time when race relations were so volatile
Powell held Heath in utter contempt and new the risk to his political career he was taking
