Re: Enoch Powell: the Great Lie survives
He encouraged immigration, he spent two years in India, if he was so conscious about cultural differences he would have been better prepared for the outcomes and not turned on the immigrants as soon as he found out he was wrong. He was against Sikh people wearing turbans and said they should assimilate into the British culture. Again, "the immigrants need to be civilised" attitude. I don't see why calling for better healthcare instead of blaming it on the brown and black people is a silly comment.
Anyway, i'm prepared to accept he's not racist, i accept i don't know what his intentions and innermost thoughts were. From what i can see, they look very sketchy. And no, i don't want to label you a racist, i'd like to think the opposite! You seem very ethnocentric though and that's probably why you admire him so much.
