One emailer to me called me a "racist" because I do not want 10s of millions of the World's poorest people coming to the UK to use our welfare system. Well I never! where did the DICK get the right to give away my tax money?

Jackie that was not true, it was a lie by taking an out of context statement, no way did he advocate shooting anybody.
This was Looney left at its most venomous and dishonest

Yes, and was villified for his views. Unfortunately, he has proven to be right.
The biggest obstacle to any honest and open debate is the knee-jerk "racist" reaction to anybody who points out the obvious - uncontrolled immigration has caused massive social and economic problems, not just in this country but across developed Western nations as a whole.
It begs the question "why is it being allowed to happen?" Is it some form of social engineering plan? Is it "divide and conquer"? Have we been sold out to globalists by corrupt politicians, or are they just stupid?
One thing's for sure - there's trouble ahead. When "middle England" starts noticing the problems, heads are going to roll. I don't know what the outcome is going to be, but it's definately coming.

He got the phrase form Euripides, but Enoch Powell views would seem to gathering pace, that the UK is under threat from immigration. Now i not saying he is right or wrong, but when a country's on population believes that they are getting unfair treatment then soon or later there could be the potential for civil unrest.

Enoch Powell also said "when you see the black man coming across the bridge shoot him"

I think it was Euripodes who said this not Enoch.

Actually, it is an old Chinese proverb - a bit before Enoch's time.
Unfortunately, for him, he will only be remembered for his 'rivers of blood' speech which is a pity as he had an amazing brain. I believe he was ahead of his time.

Enoch was another Einstein, but more in the political field and had a lot of foresight, he saw things long before they became reality.

He was quite right, and so dedicated to this truth he went on to give us an ongoing demonstration of the process.
