I couldn't think of an appropriate way to express my
disagreement with the comparison between small minded bigotry represented by the Daily Mail and a clever, articulate man who's most famous speech has sadly created an image that most people have.

( mr horrible put his trousers on really angrily on, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:09, archived)

Rivers of Blood was a pretty self damning speech don't you think
after all Powell was the one who opened the very floodgates of immigration he predicted would be the end of our society.

see below

( mr horrible put his trousers on really angrily on, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:04, archived)

far from it
although I accept that at times it must be remembered that it came from an old man, who used some old fashined words and styles. The general message and some of the specifics were not only correct, it turned out, but remain so.
( mr horrible put his trousers on really angrily on, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:04, archived)

therefore 'self-damning'
he started the immigration programme and then he predicts it will flood our society - so yeah it's ok to have foreigners in the country as long as they know their place and only do the jobs none of us British Folk want to do and of course they don't start inviting their families over here and having lots of kids demanding rights and well "There goes the neighbourhood!"
( maiden has a less sweary sig now *Fluff-on*, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:08, archived)

I can't even begin to count how many times you are wrong there
if by starting the immigration program, you mean getting British subjects from overseas who were already resident in this country better jobs than otherwise would have been available, then yes, he did that, as health minister. In the NHS.
I quote from wikipedia:
"Later, he oversaw the employment of a large number of Commonwealth immigrants by the understaffed National Health Service.[39] Prior to this, many non-white immigrants who held full rights of citizenship in Britain were obliged to take the jobs that no one else wanted (e.g. street cleaning, night-shift assembly production lines), often paid considerably less than their white counterparts."

He never said anything about inviting families or knowing their place or anything that could be so construed.
You're simply re-enforcing my comment above about an image that people have.
( mr horrible put his trousers on really angrily on, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:16, archived)

Well you obviously like the bloke and you're in the company of Margaret Thatcher
but none the less no matter how you put your edge to his views - he was a right wing twunt who did nothing to help cultural intergration. Many immigrants were used as nothing more than cheap labour well after Enoch Powell's time and from the very foundations of the Rivers of Blood speech the likes of the National Front and the British Movement sprang up - so don't try to persuade me he was a jolly good ol' chap who was misunderstood!
( maiden has a less sweary sig now *Fluff-on*, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:24, archived)

clearly we have different views on the subject
and don't get me started about the BNP and the NF, I am fully aware of the evils that they do. Once again, reading what they want to from that speech.
I don't like Enoch Powell especially, I just don't see him as being in any way comparable with the scaremongering of the Daily Mail, or indeed in any way related to the extreme right movement of today or the past.

Which was my only comment in this thread to start with.
( mr horrible put his trousers on really angrily on, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:28, archived)

I'm not sure you should rely too much
upon wikipedia for fuelling your internet debates.
Especially not when you want to discuss Enoch Powell who regardless of your image of him and even regardless of his one famous speech, was an extreme far right racist. And I mean racist in the dictionary term and not in the manner that is is bandied about today by people more ignorant that you could make them believe.
( Pasanonic so I compo anything with words, right?, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:38, archived)

Well said, sir.
( J Peasemould Gruntfuttock Christmas - FUCK YEAH!, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 21:08, archived)

That I agree with you about
it doesn't bear comparison to The Daily Mail's simplistic demagogy purely to sell their papers based upon people's fears. And yes the Right Wing Extremeist did take the Powel speech out of context. But Enoch Powell did himself no favours by throwing a bone to those dogs - speaking of Rivers of Blood and Floods of Immigrants is always going to be used by the demagogues!
( maiden has a less sweary sig now *Fluff-on*, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:38, archived)

This is interesting; from the rivers of blood wikipedia entry:
Powell defended his speech on 4 May through an interview for the Birmingham Post: "What I would take 'racialist' to mean is a person who believes in the inherent inferiority of one race of mankind to another, and who acts and speaks in that belief. So the answer to the question of whether I am a racialist is 'no'—unless, perhaps, it is to be a racialist in reverse. I regard many of the peoples in India as being superior in many respects—intellectually, for example, and in other respects—to Europeans. Perhaps that is over-correcting."

The attraction of wankers such as the National Front to his speech was unfortunate, but ultimately highlights Mr horrible's original statement above about filth like the Daily Mail
( Jahled extraordinaire®, Thu 13 Nov 2008, 19:35, archived)

racist
is not meant as a blanket term for those who feel superior to everyone not of their race.
A racist can quite easily choose to be selective in his choice of which man is less worthy.

Powell was very clearly intolerant of West Indians or ( wide-grinning piccaninnies as he is on record as calling them, something he attempted to sue newspapers over but later dropped because he had not a shred of evidence for his feeble excuse of "quoting a constituent")
Like many of the right of his day. They were happy that the 'Windrush' folk saved Britain from economic meltdown after the war but come the late 60's when it was all fixed again they found it distasteful to have 'these people' having the same right to the same benefits as 'us people'.

Don't choose wikipedia
or the poor documentary "rivers of blood" from Martin O' Neill which has done a lot to confuse and cloud the truth about Powell.
