It's amazing how sensible how correct he was with hindsight Enoch Powell understood completely what the future of the UK was going to be he was NOT against immigration it was MASS immigration that concerned him and his concerns have proved to be reality the Britain that was is gone it's culture it's Heritage it's values it's social structure it's Christian heritage is all either gone or under threat governments past and present have failed miserably to protect Britain from the damaging effects of Foreign influence so much so that Foreign practices have overtaken the traditional lifestyle of the indigenous population the UK is now unrecognisable as the proud nation that was famed for its loved and respected ancient traditions it's UNIQUE heritage it's freedoms passed down through generations of men and women who rallied fought and won the right to the freedoms that made the UK a moral decent country whose laws were fair and respected and this is what Enoch Powell loved about his country and what he feared could all be lost with unlimited mass immigration and he was so right Britain is no more the Britain we knew and loved is gone

He was reflecting the views of dare I say much of the population at the time who were fearful and ignorant. Two terms which are related in that we fear that which we don't understand. Then there will be others who will use that fear to increase their own status and cause trouble. Listening to him on this interview I don't get that sense but this is only a single interview. He reminds me a little of William Reese Mogg. Both very intelligent men who actually make some good points. But both are probably best described as Little Englanders who wish for a time that probably never really existed except for the few like them lived in the upper echelons of society. Some will see him as a racist and maybe he is. But on the basis of this interview I don't think he was intending to be so. But as I said, this is only a single interview so who knows?

So, after listening to this interview with Enoch Powell, it would seem, we are reaping what we once sowed. As according to Mr Powell the immigration problem is basically down to the British ravaging and taking of other countries and thus creating British Empire, which gave the people of these once colonised countries, eventually the commonwealth, the right to come to the UK as a British citizen, yes, the law was eventually changed and this stopped in 1962. However the Irony is incredible, as the very people who wave the Great British flag, see our country through rose tinted glasses and think of themselves as patriots of our once Great British Empire, are the very ones who cry about the immigration problem. They clearly did not envisage that Air travel would (excuse the pun) Take off in the way it did, lol.
