Of course he wasn't wrong. Only an idiot or a left wing luvvie which are usually the same would even begin to argue he wasn't right. His problem was that as a classics scholar he assumed that people would understand the points he was seeking to make. Some didn't which is fair enough. If you're thick you're thick. Some did and twisted his message because they were nation haters. Shame on them for delivering unto us the situation we have now.

Enoch on female students at Cambridge University:

“I noticed them. I wondered what they were doing there. I didn’t think they would approach advance learning in the same mood or manner as a man would. The analytical faculty is underdeveloped in women.”

Or this:


Powell always protested that he wasn’t a racialist. He argued he was merely expressing the reality of the situation for his constituents. He was certainly a conviction politician who spoke his mind. In defence of Powell, it could be pointed out other situations where he defended the equality of people regardless of race. For example, in 1959, he made a passionate speech in the House of Commons against the pejorative labelling of Mau Mau insurgents in Kenya.

Powell noted that some MPs had described the eleven Mau Mau’s as “sub-human” Powell responded by saying:

    “In general, I would say that it is a fearful doctrine, which must recoil upon the heads of those who pronounce it, to stand in judgement on a fellow human being and to say, ‘Because he was such-and-such, therefore the consequences which would otherwise flow from his death shall not flow’.”

On some issues, Powell was liberal in sentiment. He voted against the death penalty and supported homosexual law reform. In 1969, he was asked by David Frost if he considered himself a racialist.Powell replied:

    It depends on how you define the word “racialist.” If you mean being conscious of the differences between men and nations, and from that, races, then we are all racialists. However, if you mean a man who despises a human being because he belongs to another race, or a man who believes that one race is inherently superior to another, then the answer is emphatically “No.”

We raped and pillaged these countries for years and it's now come to bite us back.

People come here to better themselves, they are hard workers and are a benefit to the country. When they come wanting to impose their culture then that's a no no. I don't mind sharing the culture but when we're told what to do then I think we have to stand up. Hate filled mosques should be bulldozed imo.

This is why the Govt blacked out the news on Tuesday on both BBC and Sky re ISIS atrocities including 4 men locked in a car with grenade launched burning all to death, 7 men forced to wear an explosive filled link necklace blowing heads off and lowering a cage containing 5 men into a swimming pool and drowning them.

He read a letter from a constituent which used some language which people took exception to and his references to Virgil went right over peoples heads but his central message that mass immigration filled him with a great sense of foreboding has been proven to have been prophetic. He also made the point that over centuries we had shown a willingness and capacity to assimilate smaller numbers.

No room in this village, and they'd stick out like a sore thumb if just one family got here.

Easier to hide in towns and cities.

It was more of a rhetorical question, EO - but you're bang on there.
