Still misquoting the speech when it's been posted ????

do you think that the difference is significant. If anything it's worse since he specifically refers to the Roman.

'As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."'

Tiber is in Rome mate, and is a river in the singular

Where did you see a Sharia Law court, did you sit in on one of their cases....?

Is this CNN investigation false because you never saw it live...?

 

Enoch's thoughts have credence in todays UK, sadly 'some' folk here are deniers, but quick with the racist slurs....????

 

 

Wow! a video from 2013 which focused on what the reporter said were a handful of vigilante whose activities were condemned by Muslim leaders Five of them were arrested. 3 were sentenced to do time in jail.

The reference is to the civil war that would occur in the times of Vergil who wrote the Aeneid. Ya think he was writing about some kind of environmental disaster where an abattoir spills sheep blood into the river? Here's the quote in full

"Bella, horrida bella, Et Thybrim multo spumantem sanguine cerno"

I see wars, horrible wars and the Tiber foaming with blood

That’s rather comical.

 

If you are trying to make a point you really should not mix your metaphors.

 

Stop trying to be clever it doesn't work for someone like you, my family in UK can confirm you have no idea.

(BTW , if your Family disapproves of immigrants , how would they feel if you took an Asian Wife back to the UK ?) 

Don't know what you at my family has an opinion, so don't you try be clever with me either, my wife lived with me in UK for 2.1/2 years and my kids they luv her because she takes care of me and they are coming all 5 of em to see me and there step mum who they call mum the end of this month, so get knotted.

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.

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.

There are some people who complain about immigrants /non White people living in the U.K and about foreigners taking over the U.K.

   I just wondered how that fits in with those that married Asians and have non white children and live in the UK

Why does it bother you that some immigrants may choose not to integrate totally?  Like it or not, the UK is a multi-cultural society and all the better for it.

You think a handful of Muslim extremists proves his contentions?
