Blood had already been spilled on British streets, and it wasn’t by ‘non white’ terrorists.

It is you that’s posting about terrorist attacks, not me. Terrorism is a result of world wide events, including illegal invasions (which the UK took part in) of sovereign countries. But isn’t new, at the time Powell was speaking Briton already had a problem with terrorist attacks in the UK. Odd that those don’t get a mention.

I don’t like my country? I’m not sure on what basis you believe it’s ‘my country’, that aside, it isn’t me complaining about the UK is it? Yoi should visit sometime, it really is a wonderful, vibrant, friendly and peaceful place. There are of course problems, but you’ll find people from all different kinds of backgrounds working together to make the UK a better place.

Thanks for editing your post to include a photo that demonstrates precisely why Powell and his racist admirers and supporters are wrong. Powell never predicted terrorism, even though the UK had experience of it. Nor did he predict the vast majority of non white, non Anglo Saxon Britons being proud of their nation, contributing to the welfare and good of the nation, abiding by the law, many serving in the armed forces, police. Look how proud and happy that woman looks. Powell was a racist, all he had was messages of fear and hate. Then, as now, he had his admirers and defenders. Incidentally, did you take that photo yourself or was it after you had already left the UK?

Not a dodge, direct comments made by the racist Powell. Unfortunately he never made any predictions on the illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, or the likely consequences of illegal wars.

Civil war? Whip hand?

I never even suggested you are a racist. Powell wasn’t talking about controlling immigration, he was race baiting, his ideas were directed at people on the basis of race, including suggestions of repatriating people. He was a racist, admired and defended then, as now by racists.

I expect even the Texas coach drivers are pleased to arrive in NY and enjoy the benefits of a functional and reliable power grid.

One of the things the UK’s secret service is doing is monitoring websites distributing hate messaging, and those who frequent them.

He wasn’t right about the ‘whip hand’ he wasn’t right about ‘civil war’. He completely omitted the millions of positive stories of integration, participation and contribution. He was a racist, admired and defended then, as now, by racists.

Financial crimes are famously easy to get convictions on. Perhaps it’s time for old ‘two shirts’ to start squawking about who he shared the money with.

Let’s come back to this after the 11th Circuit Appeals Court has ruled. Don’t wander off now.

I think he may, but it’s not automatically the case.

And not plead the 5th.

Prior to and up to decimalization coins with Victoria on them were still legal tender.

To correct you. Hearing the sad news of the death of a much loved and greatly admired person, is a perfect example of when the only thing you should say is respectful of that person’s memory, or do the decent thing and say nothing.

A very sad day. Queen Elizabeth dedicated her life to her country, her people and the commonwealth, she has been lived the very definition of duty and device and duty. One constant in the lives of millions through ever changing times. Rest in peace. Long live the King.

Surely you could find a video.

I agree with that too.

If you post, And I wish to respond, I will quote you as I feel necessary.

While I agree with M.Mac on his point about your family’s views, which you yourself introduced into the discussion, I disagree that anyone should bring your wife or your relationship into the discussion where you have not. So I agree with your objections on that. I always advise against introducing family members into discussions, which in terms of your wife you did not.

You are aware Enoch Powell was a classicist with a particular interest in rhetoric and oratory? He absolutely understood the use of rhetorical devices in political speech. Which goes back to my earlier observation that Powell subverted his education and his intellect to engage in racism. What was it you were saying?

Who says they’ve not already searched Trump’s other addresses. The only reason we know about the search of MaL is because Trump publicized the fact on his failing Truth Social propaganda service.

That’s rather comical. If you are trying to make a point you really should not mix your metaphors.
