clearly we have different views on the subjectand 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.

I'm not sure you should rely too muchupon 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.

That I agree with you aboutit 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!
