How Enoch Powell saved the NHS

For the past 45 years Asian doctors have provided the back-bone of the NHS, caring for white working class communities in some of the most deprived parts of the United Kingdom. Today, in addition to many Afro-Caribbean and African NHS workers, a quarter of Britain's NHS staff are Asian, largely thanks to a scheme launched in the early 1960s by the Tory anti-immigrant politician Enoch Powell (!) to fill shortages of NHS staff with migrants from Britain's former colonies.

Racists like Nick Griffin and the BNP constantly misrepresent the legacy of the British Empire. The BNP refuse to acknowledge that the true legacy of the Empire's greatness IS multiculturalism, and refuse to acknowledge that immigrants have contributed to as well as benefitted from the UK's Welfare State...

The BNP refuse to acknowledge that the roots of British multiculturalism lie in the positive contributions that immigrants made (and still make) to the provision of essential services, and in the massive contribution that 2.5 million Hindu, Sikh and Muslim volunteer soldiers made to saving the British Empire from Italian and Japanese Fascism in WW2...

Nick Griffin and the BNP "blame" liberal values, the left-wing and Labour Party etc for immigration - the irony being that it was the BNP's hero Enoch Powell who contributed so much to British multiculturalism in the first place! As for Enoch Powell himself, nothing shows the hypocrisy and cynicism of Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech more than Powell's own contribution to the growth of the NHS - the irony being that if rivers of blood had run through Britain, it would have been black and Asian NHS workers who would have helped clean up the mess!
