How attitudes change. Compare modern times  when the mere mention of his name has woke warriors reaching for the smelling salts.
To more normal times when Powell was a household name and a regular on panel shows like QT. 
Where the BBC gave him a platform to air his views.

No hatchet job from the BBC for  Enoch.
Which is as well, because he’d have run rings around them.

Enoch smelt blood when heath was wounded, and
went all racisty to appeal to some tories. They
kicked him out. Thatcher left door open to attract
his supporters and became leader.

Question time was far better back then with people
allowed to debate, and there were plenty of
great debators taking part.

Tories have stopped debate by planting
crazy host who can't stop interrupting and
will be forever famous for arguing that
Johnson only punched his wife once when he
broke her nose.

Powell’s pursuit of dogmatic logic led him into blind corners – in 1970 he argued that West Indians and Asians could not be English, saying “The West Indian or Asian does not, by being born in England, become an Englishman.” This is even more of a race barrier than Norman Tebbit’s cricket text of Englishness. It’s explicitly about whiteness and undoubtedly a racist argument.

When did the BBC start to change?
They finished Nick Griffin and the BNP when they set him up on QT.

I wonder how many regret not having the BNP as a credible alternative at the next general election, given the astronomical immigration figures and the changing face of Britain.

The BNP were always too left-wing for proper |Tories, and most of their supporters were working class people from the sharp end.
I bet they’d vote for them now if the media would allow it.

The BBC says that it is “committed” to achieving due impartiality in all its output, describing it as “fundamental to our reputation, our values and the trust of audiences”.


Clearly a lie but I don't think GB news pretends to be impartial, nor can they force us to pay for it.

Of course nor can the BBC a clear fact completely ignored.

The BBC is unpopular with left wing extremists.

The SNP hate the BBC because the establishment English approach to Scotland’s freedom.

And of course racist right wing tosssspot nutjob idiots also hate the BBC because it does not spread right wing extremist perv Wooten propaganda like the appalling U.K. news.

But the BBC and the licence fee is entirely democratic. It is clearly within a Government’s power to abolish it.

Trouble is for the extremist nutters on both sides. The BBC is tremendously popular with the electorate. When Johnson had a go at it, a quick survey led to him pulling back double quick. Something he is unused to doing, given the number of his bastards there are in the country.
