[@stephenjohnson2800]

Not prophetic in the least. Simply a statement of the obvious outcome.

[@martinswift536]

The British people said he was a lunatic when he spoke about this years ago. He has been proved right though. We are being invaded by scroungers who say they are living in fear in their own shithole countries but I have not seen any women or children, I didn't like Margaret Thatcher all that much but she would have never let them in. £56m a week it is costing us to house them in luxury hotels, free medical care, free dental care, free housing, free electric and gas, money thrown at them while our own people who have worked all their lives and never claimed a penny, paid taxes all their lives have to sell their houses to pay for their own care, then when the money has gone they are thrown out. I bet the French people would not let this happen in their country.

[@bestofluckusa]

I have enormous respect for Enoch's intelligence, honesty and foresight, but how do YOU define, 'the English'? Please don't go back to, 'Anglo Saxons', as they were invaders from northern Europe. Maybe you mean other conquerers/invaders such as the Romans, the Vikings or William's French Normans (mostly descended from Scandinavian Vikings), or their forebears, the Picts and the Celts, or maybe you mean, Cavemen. Just how far back in time are you thinking in your definition of, 'English'?

Enoch Powell told the truth and should have been prime minister

[@alexnelson9512]

*_Then again, PMs are the ones that never tell truth - they are the most compromised and incentivised of all politicians._*

[@sharonhyde7735]

Totally agree, he was not a racist, all he wanted to say about too many migrants will cause discord! Religion some extremists cause disharmony! He was bringing to light the practical problems

Here was a man who stood his ground and it cost him his political career........but he was right. His Rivers of Blood speech was epic.

[@tonylelli3057]

Bless you Enoch. A true English man. What a shame all around him were not as he. 😢😢

[@lostintranslation1957]

What a great man.

[@colindant3410]

Basically, what Enoch was saying early on was that the OPCS data indicated that the birth-rate of the newcomers and their descendants was exceeding that of the 'hosts' and that consequently the proportion of 'newcomers' in the population would rise even in the absence of immigration. He put forward his argument most eloquently.

[@ZeeGuv]

And yet, his prediction of the future was way off. He predicted London would only be 1/3 foreign born. As of 2021 census, London is only 36.8% White British. The lawlessness on the streets of London, the supporting of the terrorist organisations of Hamas (October 2023) on the streets of Central London prove just how right he was. Yet he is scorned throughout this speech. How right he was, and how wrong they were.

[@patriciarowe6685]

​@@ZeeGuvLook at the mass legal and illegal immigration. This is why it is out of control now.m

[@Merlin3189]

@@ZeeGuv If it is at 63.2%, it must have passed through the levels ha specified, 25%,33% and 50%. When it did, he was spot on! But he has been let down, or he overestimated the British people if he expected them to do something about it at those levels. Now with an immigrant majority and legal protections specifically for them, it is much harder for people to do anything, except perhaps to emmigrate themselves!

[@Stormy177]

He was also arguing that the descendants of the immigrant population would choose their spouses from their ancestral countries, not from within the UK, thus continuing immigration despite the proposed changes to the law being debated (and such immigrants presumably wouldn't be picked up fully in official statistics as they would not be coming for work). He also went on to note that the three schools of thought around immigration were: That immigrants would assimilate; that they wouldn't, and trouble would ensue; and that they wouldn't but trouble could be avoided with the race relations industry inserting themselves into the process to recommend legislation etc.

[@jimmybennington9572]

A great Prophet who tried to tell his countryman, amidst great ridicule, the coming doom of their Nation. He was spot on. Look at London now. A once great Nation going, going, gone.

[@funnycat1957]

London and England a city unliveable and ungovernable? Many would say it is the case today. Look at the changing PMs and the lack of patriotism or even accountability, for instance. Will there still be a UK fifty years hence?

[@PrayingForMeteors]

There will, but in name only. You cannot change the inhabitants of any place on earth without changing the fundamental character of that place. A France or England populated by Asiatic or African peoples will have their character, norms, and customs; with, perhaps, a smattering of what they find useful from the indigenous society. Though much of what they keep from our societies and cultures is generally of material use and/or consumption (i.e. consumerism). The things that truly matter for the survival of a nation-civic pride, a common history, and a shared sense of belonging-are discarded. One need only to look at the mess the United States, that multiracial behemoth, presently is to see that this will be the case. For example: In the State of Washington, a multiracial state supreme court-populated entirely by East Asians, Jews, Africans, and Hispanics-recently dictated in a ruling that White European-Americans must prove any charges leveled against them by minorities, or that they level against minorities, were not a product of racial animus on the part of the White person. In essence, Whites in the American State of Washington must prove that they-though I'm not quite sure how-have not committed a thought-crime. We can already see the eroding of English common law-the bedrock foundation of Anglophone society-in most of America's major cities as well, with many crimes of violence or destruction now relegated to misdemeanors because black and brown people disproportionately commit them. That too shall come to England and Europe. It shall be cultural and civic death by a thousand cuts. The American republic, founded by Englishmen and rooted in English law, history, and custom, is in its death throes. To see the future that awaits England in a matter of decades-indeed, awaits all of Europe-one need only to look at the smoldering fire across the pond. At the present moment, that is the future which awaits us. Powell was prophetic in seeing that a "diverse" society would only breed tension, discontent, and animus toward the indigenous English by minority populations. Thus, we see minorities push their representatives for the import of more people like themselves. One need only to look at Prime Minister Sunak's proposed immigration policy to see this in action; and this is from the pulpit of the "conservative" party in England. I dare say, what exactly is it that the Tories are conserving-other than their pocketbooks and portfolios? Regardless, none of this will stop until the historically indigenous populations of Europe come together as a united front; perhaps with like-minded allies from across the Atlantic. And if that does not happen, we may as well kiss our nations, our history, and cultural identities "good-bye."

@@funnycat1957 ​You have about three decades more experience and accumulated wisdom than I do, so I am obliged to tip my cap. I wish you and your loved ones many more years of good health and (one can hope) happiness and peace. I pray the calamity staring us in the face does pass you and most "Boomers" by, as I believe the resulting chaos-and, as it always is with times of chaos, the potential for widespread violence-will shatter their world-view and leave them in a well of despair at the end of their lives; that is no way for one to end their sunset years. I hope further indigenous Europeans are awakened to our (as of now) dreadful future prospects, and are willing to engage in polite dialogue to try and resolve matters diplomatically-but who are also ready and willing to grab the broad stick if/when the time comes.

If only Enoch Powell could have shown the other MP's video's of the streets of England 44 years ahead, I am sure they would not have been so flippant in the decision of immigration. In fact if he could have shown them the 630 MP's in Parliament and their ethnic background including our present Prime Minister, he would have full backing. This MP was a visionary.
