Enoch Powell Responds to Accusations about Racism

[sacredsoma]

I wonder a lot even though I am not British or living in the UK, why is Enoch Powell so distinctly attractive in his manners and pleasant to hear as a speaker?

[TheVeneth]

That is his problem.. he has half-assed comments.. like he dont know what it is race or French race.. is he stupid?? ..there is three main races in the world (as mentioned in the Bible-Japhetites, Chamithes, Semithes) white(europoidic), blacks(negroitic), and asians.. then there are some subgroups.. nationality is something else.. you can have any nation nationality - but that doesnt make you to originate.. for example white person born in China is chinese national but NOT CHINESE!! and so on..

[herbal1971]

You get control freaks behind the scenes who allow chaos to ensue so that the people call for strict laws, which were intended to be brought in anyway. The result being a loss of freedom.

Patriotism is vilified, such that someone calling for an end to immigration up until the last few years would have been branded a racist.

[deathsuxxx]

Just because someone declares they are not racist, doesn't mean what they have said in the past, what they continue to say or imply and their actions do not prove this. Just as if a homosexual were to publically say they were not gay when in reality that was the case.

[FatherChildrenYummy]

I've heard racist people say stuff about how black people are like monkeys and they should be swinging from trees, but surely that's the same as what the Enochs do, isn't it? If you watch Star Wars then they've got a big village in the forest, the Enochs, haven't they? They had their own cartoon at one point too, with its own song: "We are the Enochs we live in the forest, we're dancing altogether and we're having fun - friends TOGETHER, friends FOREVER - we're the Enochs, YEAH (Eat Chihuahua)!

[gav44]

We could do with Enoch Powell now.

[MrCommonlawyer]

@blackandproud75 Powell wasn't a racist; he fought against violent organised racism, embodied in Nazi Germany, during WWII. Powell declared that he wasn't racist, publically, on numerous occasions. An idiot? Powell was a leading pre-WWII academic of ancient Greek, one of the very youngest professors ever, who enlisted as a private in the British Army and rose to the rank of brigadier by the end of the War. Learn about the man; you might be surprised.

[midgiemarsh]

the sound of voice will haunt Blair, Brown, Cameron and many future PMs to come unless they do something

[BARCACROSSESTHEALPS]

Brilliant man.....

[Mimereader2]

The history of the United Kingdom is the history of those who held living space. Check out the article 'Britain From the PLE Perspective' and the book 'The Pioneer Little Europe Prospectus' by H. Michael Barrett.

[Ponerology]

"If I don't know what the noun means, I will have even greater difficulty with the adjective, won't I?" I doubt if any American politician will ever speak this well.

[AKComedian]

He says 'I never mention race in my speech' errrr YES he Fucking did....'in a few year the black man will have the whip hand over the white man'

[eddyman93]

@AKComedian I have to say I grow tired off hearing this as anyone who has read or even made an attempt to read the Birmingham Speech known as "Rivers of Blood" will clearly note he was quoting a conversation of one of his constituents. He stated "I can already hear the chorus of execration. How dare I say such a horrible thing? How dare I stir up trouble, inflame feelings by repeating such a conversation? My answer is that I do not have the right not to do so." Intergration was his goal.

[mouseron]

The best quote i have ever heard "I don't know what race is. I don't know for example whether if there were 4 or 5 million Germans in this country, would that be a different race? We used to talk about the British race as compared to the French. I don't know what it means. Indeed I doubt if it has got a scientific meaning. "

[beastinblack]

This man didnt say race was the issue - the issue is CULTURE.

[beastinblack]

We need another man like him. Right now.

[DLPBurke]

Those people protesting need placing in london today.

[garethella]

The most cowardly character assassination (through deliberate misinterpretation) in political history, this great man deserved a great deal better than he got from Britain, if there has since been another MP with this mans character and decency , i dont know of them.

[tgmartin]

In spite of his views on immigration (he wasn't quite as bad as he was made out to be on immigration- he was instrumental in recruiting Commonwealth immigrants to work for the NHS) Powell was a lot more progressive than his retrospective supporters would like to admit

[Zephyesa]

a true man

[Raybanmonster]

Phwahahahahaaaaaa who is he kidding.

[minder51]

I feel like a lodger in my own country- Enoch was oh so right ! Shame on all -especially the the Labour and Liberal idiots who have let all all these bloody foreigners take over this once great land and reduce its standards. We are now an island of non importance with such low standards that no one cares any more and nothing matters. Show me a politician with the balls to admitt that Enoch was right and I`ll support him all the way. I`m not racist, I just want my country back.

[Nunov103]

was he racist or not ?

[minder51]

@Nunov103. No way was Enoch racist, he was simply speaking the truth. My father and many others fought two world wars to keep this country free and for what ? For the likes of Tony Blair to let Brussels do what Hitler was prevented from doing? We need to shut our borders. If they haven`t a means of supporting themseles

( i.e. a trade) , they can fuck off home.Britain is not a charity.

[Nunov103]

@minder51 Thank you for answering my question , ever since I came across Mr. Powell , I wondered whether he was racist or not , but I remember him saying that he didn´t even know what race was , and that his points of view were strictly cultural , for he thought that some people wouldn´t accept the British way of life , and even though I don´t live in Britain ( only been there once ) I know that some immigrants do no respect the country that houses them.

[Nunov103]

@minder51 but since I´m what most whites call , black ( a bit more brown than black , eheh ) , I was interested in finding out more about Enoch , and of course , since I can consider english as my second language , and things here in Portugal have gone awry, moving to England is always an idea that pops up on my mind , but I don´t know .... anywho , another question : do you think that Margaret Thatcher was racist ?

[RafaelDeLaGhetto1]

@minder51 much of britains wealth was built on the sweat and blood of slaves, we have every right to come and take what we helped build, what is owed to us. If you think that is "charity" then you are dumb.#

[capricious71]

He was right to an extent but it's about numbers or people not colour and the number is too high.

[ajay999999]

Shame he wasnt prime minister that would have been a laugh.

[Zephyesa]

@ajay999999 no that would have saved your country.

[MINGCHINGBOY]

Enoch, a man that has true virtue. It's only in the far reaches of Britain that you can find men of his ilk. England is finished. look towards the Island's fringes, particularly the western Isles. England is Muslim, New wave, Paki, LGBT and Jewish run. Fuck 'em.

[MINGCHINGBOY]

Acht auld Enoch, a man of my generation. God luck Brave New World....

[IlRezzonico]

A man who put principles and his beliefs before his career - that's integrity. Not something you see at all today - either in TrashLabour or ConDem.

[Bunfire123]

Dirty Bastard!

[DG3744]

british race is german/french/dutch orgins!!

[bhoyjack]

@DG3744 What ? and not Celtic ???

[DG3744]

@bhoyjack Yes!! Celtic is first!!! sorry!! The others are mixed in!

[bhoyjack]

How right he was. And look at the state of Britain today with labours deliberate policy of mass immigration...

[Bacon4Rashers]

@bhoyjack-Most normal people are not against the far right or Mr Powell the only people who seem to be are Marxist/Communist or Socialist militants most of them being middle class students.

[bhoyjack]

@Bacon4Rashers Fair comment mate.

[mossfitz]

@Bacon4Rashers Powel understood the problem as being one of cultural and social cohesion. Nowadays we can clearly recognise Islam as the main perpetrator in destroying these. I think myself a liberal but i would consider toleration of the absolutely clear and self-defined enemy of our civilization absurd. Our universities should earnestly study the appeal of this horror to the unthinking masses - the cult has made life miserable for millions of muslims too.

[MarkMuses]

A good man. BUT the problem is race is all too real and not in past history. Begin with Lewontin's Fallacy and keep reading. A real racialist respects ALL races' right to security INCLUDING Whitey!

[Christonamotorcycle]

Great man.

[mikefranky]

@Christonamotorcycle ..So true!!

[peacefrog1916]

What a pathetic little creep.

[edinburgh9000]

@peacefrog1916

grow up, you stupid commie glaswegien non entity, get pissed drunk thats what

your good at shithead, powell had backbone your a spineless turd that wont flush

[volound]

@edinburgh9000 and youre a moron that has failed, over the course of his education and subsequent years, to ever manage at any point to comprehend the difference between "youre" and "your". im sure peacefrog is about as hurt by your ad hominems as your parents are proud.

[edinburgh9000]

@volound so we have another Glaswegian, atheist ,commie, quote obsessed little pedant sticking his nose in

a conversation between 2 posters, and tell me exactly what is the point your making?....no don't bother

there is none, ,,,,,if you where in a pub (natural habitat) in real life do you

interrupt conversations to show off how ignorant you are ....now quote this " i must ram a cactus plant up my ass sideways in order to block out the pain of being fragged on kill-zone 3

[volound]

@edinburgh9000 my point is that you are illiterate, and everything said by you is being said by an illiterate moron and should be valued as such.

[bhoyjack]

@peacefrog1916 left-wing twat. oh and 1916 was a failure...

[rubysson57]

Enoch Powell had an answer for every stupid accusation and slur aimed at him. How the left must be pleased with their handiwork in now being able to close any argument critical of immigration with that one word. Didnt wash with Enoch Powell. Simply because he saw it for what it was. Nowadays your son gets stabbed - your daughter gets raped ( by an immigrant) , the first thing you must do - before you even think of complaining- is assure everybody that you're not RACIST . But.

[rubysson57]

The best primeminister we never had. Oh careful, Eeny, he's calling you a wacist.

[loveroftruth7]

GORGEOUS!

[hanson666999]

A true Englishman, the last of a type of men long sinse departed from this nation, may Mr Powell reside in memory and his words come back to haunt us!

[MrDeano324]

@hanson666999 They already have my friend *sigh* they already have...

[hanson666999]

@MrDeano324 Aye...its always the way Deano...men who speak sense are made pariahs by fools who are fixated on what they can gain in the present.

[Reido2828]

@hanson666999

WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a group together and fight bitch fight!

[axelg31]

yes, it's a great man. A man of honor.

[KapernicusI]

@axelg31 honour

[marksmallwood192]

This man is a hero

[Tamasha1]

@marksmallwood192

Hero ?

This man has been 6 foot under since 1998.

[Makashi11]

@Tamasha1 So because he's dead he cannot be a hero?

[Tamasha1]

@Makashi11

Yes, a dead useless hero now.

[Makashi11]

@Tamasha1 That's an incredibly stupid thing to say.
