Rivers of Blood: It Started Here

For my US friends who may not know about British 1960's politics here is some background. In 1968 there was a Labour government. it was at this time that the Asian immigration started.

One man who happened to be a prophet for our time tried to warn us of the consequences. He was Enoch Powell. He was a cabinet minister in a previous Conservative government. Now in opposition he stood for leadership of the Conservative party. Unfortunately for the future, he lost to Ted Heath, who became prime minister in 1970 until 1974.

In 1968 Enoch Powell made a speech about immigration that is now known as the "Rivers of Blood" speech. He had huge backing from the British public and if there was a general election with Enoch Powell as leader he would have won a landslide victory. He was reviled and exiled because of his speech because this is when the first buds of political correctness where forming.

He was right in everything he said in general except in hindsight it can be said that the Hindu's, Sikhs and Jamaicans were not the problem as such. It was the hordes of Pakistani Muslims who have become the major problem for our civilization some forty years later.

He derides the archbishops and the MSM for sweeping the problem under the carpet.

He says that the indigenous population will become discriminated against.

He talks of immigrants (Muslims) agitating and unifying against the rest of the population

He tells of the indiginous people unable to get hospital beds and housing because of immigration

He said all this in 1968. If he knew what it is like today he would be spinning in his grave

The BBC have been running a season of programmes called "White". They pieced together his speech for the first time - we only saw fragments before - together with a commentary from mainly left wing dhimmis.

I have taped the full hour and have condensed the first half hour into just under ten minutes, the second half hour will follow. I removed the comment from others - the dhimmis - and concentrated on the speech and comment from the time. It was quite a job doing this and exercised my editing skills to the full. I have just uploaded it to YouTube. In order for it to get maximum showing it is necessary for it to get maximum viewing in the next 24 hours - that's the way YouTube works - and that's why I haven't embedded it.

I implore you all to go and watch this important piece of history, it is quite fascinating how accurate Powell was in his prophesies. Please "rate" it, and please make it "favourite" if you like it. These all help to get it "listed". If you haven't signed in to YouTube please do so, you can't rate or make comments unless you are a member.

Enoch Powell: Rivers of Blood

Oh, BTW, Enoch was NOT a racist. He made other speeches that confirm that.
