Enoch Powell's famous own-goal with the whole Rivers of Blood speech focused on colour and creed

[Harry Balls]

What he should have considered is culture, morals and family values.

These are what typically have gone to ****, whether it's in immigrants or the domiciled population.

There's some exceptions, such a mental health, but I'd suggest these 3 are at the heart of most social problems, not religion, colour or ethnicity.

Whilst for most of the time he was porking edwina currie and half of his cabinet were caught being tied up with stockings and stuffing amyl nitrate laced oranges in their mouths.

Might I suggest that this rose tinted 'werent things better in the olden days' bull**** is trite, stupid and plainly wrong?

[Harry Balls]

[Classic Jorge]

That's what it sounds like. Bear in mind he made it 45 years ago and confidently predicted that "The black man will have the whip hand over the white man".

[Harry Balls]

awful lot when things like yesterday occur, one wonders if he misinterpreted the significant cultural shift of the time as the empire becoming 'soft'

[Harry Balls]

[Classic Jorge]

You do realise that close to a million people died when they partitioned "British" India, dont you? That's just one of the crimes of empire right from the very death rattles of it.

Personally I'll take one soldier being beheaded over a million people dying and close to twenty being displaced, if that's OK with you.

Get rid of this pathetic 'things were better in the old days' notion, they weren't.

[Harry Balls]

Empire's, what are your thoughts on why things like yesterday and 7/7 are happening, with born or long-time assimilated British citizens?

[Classic Jorge]

Even someone with the most ill aligned moral compass would surely have to admit that they have had the ****ty end of the stick, what with the best part of 500k people killed, even at the most conservative estimate.

[Harry Balls]

Actually, I give up. I've got work to do.

[agwee or disagwee??]

[Classic Jorge]

Not that that was your original question.

Honestly, to not acknowledge that stuff like this happens as a direct result of our foreign policy is deluded.
