48 Short Years Later……
Enoch Powell’s 20 April 1968 address to the General Meeting of the West Midlands Area Conservative Political Centre (commonly called “Rivers of Blood“)
was a speech criticising Commonwealth immigration and anti-discrimination legislation that had been proposed in the United Kingdom.
The speech caused a political storm, making Powell one of the most talked about, and divisive, politicians in the country, and leading to his controversial dismissal from the Shadow Cabinet by Conservative Party leader Edward Heath.
For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country.
They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted. They now learn that a one-way privilege is to be established by act of parliament; a law which cannot, and is not intended to, operate to protect them or redress their grievances is to be enacted to give the stranger, the disgruntled and the agent-provocateur the power to pillory them for their private actions.
Powell argued that he felt that although “many thousands” of immigrants wanted to integrate, he felt that the majority did not, and that some had vested interests in fostering racial and religious differences “with a view to the exercise of actual domination, first over fellow-immigrants and then over the rest of the population”.
Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal. keep reading at The ZBlog
48 short years later…..
Mr Khan was officially declared the first Muslim Mayor of London last night after comfortably defeating Tory rival Zac Goldsmith.
Signing in as the mayor of London, he was greeted with cheers as he said: “My name is Sadiq Khan and I’m the mayor of London.”
One thought on “48 Short Years Later……”
Hijrah is its name. Muslim jihad conquest by emigration.
Islam started that way. It was Islam’s first conquest and victory. Medina was conquered by Mohamed moving the Muslims there and signing a peace treaty with the three tribes there. Halfway through the treaty the Muslims rose up and slaughtered two of the tribes and part of the third tribe driving them off. The city was renamed Medina. Islam violence began. Muslims today do as Mohamed did. They continue their conquest and their lies for Islam (taqyirra). Islam will grow until it conquers the world or is wiped out. That is their Sharia Law demand.
