I’m not sure why Powell’s anti-immigration speech applies to a situation in which an Irish immigrant was stabbed and a Chinese immigrant was murdered by three apparently native-born white Englishmen.

I’m not sure why Powell’s anti-immigration speech applies to a situation in which an Irish immigrant was stabbed and a Chinese immigrant was murdered by three apparently native-born white Englishmen.

My reply was to the question in TexasRepublic's post #77, the first nine words of which were: Everytime that I read about social dysfunction in England...

Certainly neither the perpetrators nor the victims of the dreadful and worsening weather of Britain's social climate are exclusively of either foreign or native-born extraction. If not at all an exclusive cause of such societal de-evolution, unlimited immigration has certainly played a major part and has most certainly been no cure.

Nevertheless, Enoch Powell very accurately predicted the conditions that would indeed be found in the England in whose service he spent most of his adult life, just four decades after he spoke them. I do not know whether to be glad he did not live to see that result in this century, or to prefer to have his leadership still with us.

To that, in less than a decade....
