densh1 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 What do you mean maybe he was the wisest man in government at the time.But that speech probably cost him his chance of being prime minister,Because most of the gutless mps although agreeing with him wouldn't back him for fear of being called racists.Wonder where we would be now if he had been pm.

2ndLoser Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Enoch Powell's speech could possibly apply to the race riots of the 1970s or 80's but not now - the disenfranchisement has crossed the race barrier, listen to the way the white youth talk "dem a speak jus' like a black man an' ting, init" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
