I would advise people to view the full interview with Powell and Jonathan Miller. It's on Youtube.
Is he interviewing Powell?

Which town?
Let’s see if you can work it out, there’s a clue somewhere.

At the time of Powell speaking the only significant immigration to the UK was from the Caribbean (The Windrush Generation).
Powell lies when he says these people were not invited, he fails to mention the ‘British Nationality Act 1948’ or the recruitment of people in the Caribbean to fill jobs in the UK.
These people were invited to come to the UK, they contributed immensely to the economy and the culture of the country.
They were treated abysmally, up an until the modern day.
The racist Powell climbed on his soap box to stoke fear and hatred for his own political objectives.
The immigrants where his target and the immigrants suffered.
He was a despicable man.
And yes, a racist, admired then as now by racists.

He was way off.
I was recently in a northern English town, full of the people this racist Powell was inciting fear and hatred of.
The people of that town share far more things in common than the colour of their skin.
The century has turned, that town, like others across the country have proven Powell wrong, the vast majority of people living there were born there, raised there, educated there, work there, and very rightly consider themselves British.

Truss or Boris ?
Neither have answers for the problems the nation is facing, though both have played an active roll in creating many of those problems.

I think you may have omitted a word but I understand the point you were going for. Unions are needed to make gains for workers then maintain them. I've seen first had what a well run union can accomplish for workers having worked for probably the best union leader my country has ever known. My avatar is a portrait of a great pioneer of American unionism.
Yes, sorry I did.

Clearly, if Government help workers, workers are going to help workers.
The time for unions has returned.

It's impressive how they picked a song that so lacks the gun-toting machismo they try to project. At least they could have picked something sung by a masculine-sounding baritone.
I think the explanation of how they chose their name is a lot more simple.
It sounds like a ‘boy band’ and I think that was the attraction.

Well, most circuses have a safety net under the acrobats. Don't you think this circus should have one too?
It has one under the banks.

Do you feel the need to defend the truth ?
What truth Mac?
Carefully worded statements from the Kremlin, truth?

That doesn't seem to be true .
Putin offered his "Deepest condolences" and he did NOT swear at the deceased
I don’t feel the need to defend Putin.

CA, BAR number, perhaps a copy of your CV or maybe some references from past employers. Obviously he will need to see your high school and other qualifications and of course your DNA so he can trace your ancestral history.
Try to focus.
It’s about Trump.
It’s Trump who is under criminal investigation.
Focus now…. Focus!

Oh, you mean immigrants like my parents who came through Ellis Island. These folks aren't immigrants.
If a member of your family crossed a border to get into the US, they are an immigrant.

You stated these folks were good for the economy, so what exactly is the problem in NYC and WDC?
Could it be their services are being overwhelmed?
And those are sanctuary cities. They actually asked for help from National Guard which was declined.
Immigrants are good for the economy.
America is a nation of immigrants.

enjoy,
As usual, mischaracterization of the DC response.
People being shipped to DC when their actual destination is elsewhere.
Abbot needs to get on and fix the power grid an quit with grandstanding for his rabid base.

Mayor not major. You get rattled easily. Why is Abbott using weak and sick innocent people to play his political game.
Because he can’t fix the power grid, or anything actually.
It’s all a distraction.

So, answer why NYC doesn't want all the "legal" south of the border peoples if as stated before that they are an economic boost to the economy.

4 yr old video. Seems like theirs coyote helpers staging smuggler routes. How do you know this water was for illegals and not left for drug smugglers. You don't.
Maybe we should leave rental car and hotel reservations as well.
Maybe Border Agents have no business destroying water dumps left for people in a desert.
That said, whenever did you want to hear anything that contradicts your views, even when you specifically asked for it?!

Powell’s words were not prophetic, they were racist.
