He nailed it , but unfortunately was derided as a racist and a fascist, without any reason or regard to the substance of his knowledge and foresight. This was a result of the Labor party and their intellectual grip on the under-informed masses, and their need to garnish favour (get votes) among the new and ever growing immigrant population.

Re: Enoch Powell

Thanks for expanding my pitiful knowledge of Britain. The Wikipedia article was quite informative, even balanced, given the nature of Powell’s central political philosophy.

And yes, Powell did nail it 40 years ago with the Rivers of Blood speech. However, he was a bit of an enigma given his actions to employ Commonwealth personnel in the Health Ministry.
