No you did not you merely claimed discussion of negros and immigration made him a 'racist'. When he was in Egypt he left a restaurant in protest when they would not serve a native he was with when they had a white only policy. Some racist!

Oh! Redemption!! How sweet!!!

Those with the open borders mentality always want somebody else to pay for it,  and never want to actually live near too many immigrants.

Where did I state Powell’s discussion of negros and immigration made him a racist?

 

Please provide a direct quote of me stating that, or retract your assertion as unfounded.

There are things that are in the purview of Government, collecting taxes and allocating public spending budgets are two such things.

Powell defined racism as negro vs non-negro. That completely exposes his racist agenda right there.

He was speaking in the 1950s/60's when at the time, there was a noticeable difference between the different races as racial integration o a World scale  hadn't yet began

I strongly suggest a bit of reading around that defense.

‘My illegal immigrants’.

 

Can you please try to keep your ‘contributions’ to this discussion rational.

Needs a lefty government. People have gotten soft on the Tory tit.

I’m not sure how you know what I have read, let alone what is my ‘own country’, even if that were relevant, which it is not.

 

But I do suggest you read a bit about racists and SE Asian women.

Weeeell, I have been around Asian women for many years now, plus I am also not a racist, so you are barking up the wrong tree from your soup kitchen in the UK....

Back on topic, what thoughts. of Brigadier Enoch Powell MBE, were actually put into UK immigration law....?

 Oh rubbish. Australia had the White Australian Policy in full swing by then. Racism then was as it now.

I never once called you a racist, never even suggested such a thing.

 

The topic is not which of Powell’s racist views were put into UK Immigration Law.

 

That’s another of your strawman distractions.

 

Feel free to re-read the OP for hints.

He'd be among friends on this thread.

I think defenders and admirers is a better description, I don’t think Powell would give anyone here, on either side of the discussion, the time of day.

The definition of racism and people's perception of what it was has not changed. What's changed is that more people thought racism was normal back then due to ignorance, lack of travel and lack of education. The people changed, not the concept.

I can, if you like, Mad Mick and Winston, both in their 60's, their  parents from the West Indies, I think, came over in the 60's.

Friends for near 40 years, from the Hotrod car scene....

Anything else......????

Odd you should mention Bradford, with your snide dig.

 

I recommend watching the TV series ‘Bradford on Duty’.

 

It’s a fly on the wall look at people in public service working for the good of the Bradford community.

 

It’s an excellent look at Bradford people from a wide range of ethnic and religious backgrounds demonstrating the very best values of community, real British values.

 

You of course might not like it.

With your faith in human nature, I'm surprised you haven't applied for the position as the new Dalai Lama!

Demonstrably untrue. The U.K. Race Relations Act covers discrimination against peoples of any colour or race.

Odd the Racist Powell never predicted better food, better music, better athletes and better everything really.

 

Going back to live in early 60s UK would be a nightmare.

 

All those women in head scarves and men smelling of Woodbines.

 

Nah, leave the Racist Powell where he belongs, in a long dead history.

 

You can't be serious? Better food, but from Indians, not Africans, better music... you're having a laugh, and better athletes....who gives a toss! Oh, I forgot; more frequent and more successful stabbings, and more drugs.

On second thoughts, he took umbrage at his fellah being denied service. That was jolly white of our Enoch, eh?
