In 1968, Enoch Powell shocked the British Establishment with a fiery speech denouncing Labour’s intention of throwing Britain open to Third World immigration. His speech was vehemently denounced as “racist” and “evil,” and promptly tagged as the “Rivers of Blood” speech.
Douglas Murray looks back at Powell’s predictions today in The Spectator:
To understand just how bad things are, it is worth going back to 1968. Pretend that Powell used his speech not to say what he said, but to say what is now true. Pretend for a moment that he had used his speech to say that within the lifespan of many of his constituents, white British people would be a minority in the whole of Birmingham. Pretend he had predicted that by the 2020s, significant numbers of Birmingham voters would vote in a Pakistani-born Muslim on specifically sectarian, racial, religious lines. And pretend he had predicted that as a result of this change, visibly Jewish people would be barred from attending a football match because the local Muslim community would not tolerate it. If Powell had said even a portion of this, he would have been derided even more than he was. In fact he would most likely have been deemed certifiable.
