he has been proved right...but still looked on as a pariah by the politically correct ....things could well get a lot worse than he ever imagined.
this is not a racist post ive no objection to immigration ..its the sheer scale of it that is the problem i grew up in leicester in the 60s and you would never see an asian..apparently there is now a majority of asians..this is bound to cause unease and resentment among the indiginous population |

By:
No city or town in the UK has a majority Asian population - Leicester around 30% in 2006, the majority UK born and therefore not immigrants, and I'll bet that figure hasn't increased dramatically since then.
'Apparently' is a much abused word. |

Poor Enoch. He would have loathed the people who now lionise him so.
Ah well ... |

Now, MD, I shall resist that open goal, because I'm a nice guy who believes in supporting the befuddled elderly.

Obviously there won't be 100% resentment, but I know what the feeling is about the size (and behaviour of an element) of Bradford's Asian population among the majority of white English people, so why shouldn't Leicester mirror Bradford?

LEICESTER it seems all the immigrants from all over the world live here.
walk through the town any day you like and you will see what i mean. it is becoming a time bomb just waiting to explode.What the hell have our politions done to our country.seems like a dumping ground for any and all. |

Benny- you are ignorant - and wrong - if you wish to change this do some relevant reading
|
|
By:
lmfao.I was only joking!
I agree with Enoch.Sadly its irrelevant and too late now. Our once great country has well and truly gone to the dogs. |

Little known fact about Enoch.
If writing a cheque for £19.95, he would write in words, 'Twenty pounds minus five pence.' |

enoch was Welsh

By:
enoch powell was the most intelligent politician I have ever seen on telly. I remember a bbc2 programme where an audience of students lined up to give him hell and he sat there calmly and debated his way to a standing ovation.
far from prophecising the future tho his speech was 40 odd years ago so when this timebomb will eventually go off is anyones guess. |

So a pakistani or an indiian or sri lankan born here is not an asian ? A dog could be born in a stable but it doesn't make it a horse. |

By:
bad analogy
we might be different races but we are all people a dog is a dog not a horse ! |
|
By:
Some of the horses I've backed were definitely dogs CC :(

that's why I phrased it that way round Paddy :D

If you stood 5 white people and 5 pakistanis in a row, and asked a random person, black or white, to pick out the 5 asians, what odds can I get he/she picks the 5 dark skinned ones ?
|
|
By:
depends how suntanned the 5 whites were imo

If you stood 5 short people and 5 tall in a row, and asked a random person, short or tall to pick out the 5 short people what odds would I get on them being all correct ?

1.01 if they were 5 different heights
no offers if they were 10 different heights |
