Your grandfather was supported throughout his war service by people of all races and creeds and would, I suggest , turn in his grave to see the racist illiterate his grandson has become. I say illiterate as your question is not properly phrased and does not include a properly coherent sentence. And that despite 100 years and more of free education! You appear to know no history for this nation of ours has been made up of dozens of races and different creeds over the millenia. The first people who came here were at some time, lost in the mists of history, invaded by the people we know as Celts. They were invaded by the Romans and when they left by successive waves of Germanic people that we lump together as Anglo-Saxon. They pushed the Celts back into Wales and Ireland. Scotland, in the meantime had been settled by the people we know as Picts who were partly overrun by Celts from Ireland and partly by Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxons in their turn faced invasion and settlement by Vikings who for a time provided the royal house. Then, in 1066, the Normans invaded and settled. For a long time our Royal House spoke only Norman-French. In the 13th century, Edward I threw out all Jews, and they weren't allowed back in until the time of Oliver Cromwell. During the 15th century our Royal House was overthrown by the Welsh (the Twydrs, or Tudors as they became known). When that house died out we invited a then foreign, Scots, family to take the throne. They allowed large numbers of Huguenots, or French Protestants to settle here. Being a bit fed up with the Stuarts they were slung out and we invited a Dutchman to sit on the throne. Eventually, we invited a German family to become our Royals. Our present Queen has Greek husband, a Danish great grandmother and a German Great-great Grandmother and Great-great Grandfather (who spoke the German language at home). In the meantime, Irish immigrants settled in Liverpool and vast numbers of emigrés from Eastern Europe settled particularly in the East End of London. Also, because as we had a vast merchant navy fleet, sailors of all creeds and colours settled in our major ports - Chinese, West Indian and Lascars (or men from the far east). After the partition of India in 1947 large numbers of 'Anglo-Indians' - or people of a mixed Indian/European descent returned to and settled in Britain. Now where do you - the pure blood who rails at the 'garbage'...'of our land' (whatever that means) and refers to a 'tragedy' (you don't say what) - fit into this picture?

Enoch Powell replaced into no racist its a fantasy peddled by using the brainless left who won't be able to settle for any opinion different then there very own . He estimated the exchange interior the cultural panorama through fact of immigration and he replaced into authentic and additionally the end results of club of what's now the ecu. It unhappy how meant sensible critics turn to call calling and slander while confronted with data they do in comparison to. they have been riots and ghettos and Islamic extremists and our sovereignty is been given away to Brussels he replaced into authentic it somewhat is time the left grew up and admitted it . we choose a counter revolution to get our usa back for the sake of our toddler's destiny.

I am a 77year old man who lived through ww2 and fought in the malayan campaign.In these days we didn't care less what a persons colour was as long he was an ally .Enoch prophesied that there would be rivers of blood, perhaps it won't be for colour but for religion and political correctness .This in time could be the end of the democracy that our fellow countrymen and woman died for in their millions In my opinion its up to the young people of today to make sure that this is never allowed to happen and all in the past was not in vain.

This is the same Enoch Powell by the way that proved all to well when he was in the Ulster Unionist party that he was not only a Racist but a bigot. I even recall him saying that the South African Apartheid system was a good thing. that is why i will never like what anything the man has said. besides he was on about people of colour who even today only make up 2% of the population as a whole there are areas that it is higher but there are areas that there are none as well.

Enoch Powell made his well thought out speech, having foreseen the dangers inherent in uncontrolled immigration. He also foresaw that "multiculturalism" would isolate immigrant communities from indigenous society.
He was, of course, not too far from actuality in his apocalyptic predictions.
HOWEVER!
It is not wise for prominent public figures to make such speeches! Far too many extremists are waiting in the wings to take advantage an excuse to commit acts of violence!
Such speeches are called (rightly) inflammatory!
There is a severe political price to be paid for such excesses and Enoch paid it. Curiously enough, my IMMIGRANT friends actually supported his stance!............. but he had overstepped the unspoken mark and that was that.............
.......... Mainline Political Parties do not last long if they tolerate loose cannons..........

because this government cannot cope with anything that is truthful.
Similarly the promise of a land fit for heroes to live. Loada gonads!
This government has steadily given our country away to europe and foreigners who IMHO shouldnt be here. Whilst there is one person native to this country out of work, there should be no immigration.
And as to happening again, it is ALREADY happening. there are murders, stabbings, attacks, rapes and muggings happening NOW but the PC brigade won't report it.

we should have given UK to the Germans, they would not send their citizens down the river as our government has. my grandad fought in ww2 for our freedom, and would be turning in his grave to see what he and his brave brothers gave so much for. even i want to leave this stinking country and live abroad. i gave up on this country years ago. the greed, corruption, and lack of backbone of our politicians is disgusting. shame on you grate Britain (not great).

People are frightened of facing the truth and the inevitable consequences that would bring. It's much easier to shout "Racist!" and hide in their cozy bubble of denial. Give it another hundred years and our brains will have shrunken considerably because we're too scared to think.
