Anyone in the UK watching this? It has caused quite a stir.

Just finished watching the end of Rivers of Blood about Enoch Powell's speech.

I must say he did see things coming even if I don't agree with the language he used. I guess that means I must be racist then.

I haven't seen the television program but your post made me do some reading about Enoch Powell and his "Rivers of Blood" speech. Not only did I find him a fascinating person but I can't say I disagree with his assessment of the situation.

My family left the UK for Australia in 1963 as they felt they were becoming strangers in their own land due to unrestrained immigration. My grandparents never returned the to the UK, I have considered living there at some point but its all pretty much up in the air. I'll visit and see how I like it but I think their Britain (and the one I love) died a long time ago so it probably won't happen.
