Nuff said, eh? Remind us again, these Kenyan's invite some white people to their country to do menial work and they thought they were under attack? Have I got that right? The "nuff said" just about sums up bigots like you who can't think beyond their racist noses.
Whether one agrees with Powell or Miller how refreshing to see a proper intellectual debate, not least on an issue which seems to be impossible to be aired today.
Very true, but in fact it was also nearly impossible back then. There was no desire to confront the negatives aspects of mass immigration by what you'd call the 'mainstream'. Even back then, people could and were 'cancelled' for merely stating obvious facts.
@@plainjane2474 That is complete nonsense. The New Right adopted a profoundly racist stance RE: South Africa. Racist policies were entirely mainstream in the 1970's. You are just making things up. Stupidity is dangerous.
It literally happens all the time, people just aren’t generally as racist as Powell was and generally know how frowned upon racism is now compared to then
And now we see the left promoting euthanasia like Canada see Powell was right. if you put an invasive species in an environment and it thrives it will take over that what's happening to Britain.
They were too busy worrying about Caribbean people who spoke English, similar culture and same religion. A Black Australian if you will (not Aboriginal). That they ignored all the other groups because they have more Eurocentric features, but not mentality or religion. Britain/Europe is feeling it now. 🤣
@@miamitten1123 mass imagination wasn't as bad back then, there wasn't really an alert. Now it's around 6 million immigrants that consist in England's total population.
The Jonathan Miller's of the world play a huge role in why we can no longer have these conversations. They lost the debate so driven by hatred continue to obtain power to destroy us.
Saying that some American cities are occupied by immigrants and their descendants isn't intelligent. I imagine a lot of native Americans would consider it to be very uninformed indeed.
Watching in May 2024 and knowing the consequences of mass unmanaged immigration Enoch was so so right and was ignored at an horrendous cost to the existing population.
Dick listens regardless if he agrees with them or not. Nowadays the presenter's are consumed with their own opinions that they wouldn't even know if the guest was even agreeing with them.
Very true, I was thinking that as well. Heck, they even had level-headed interviews with literal fascists like Oswald Mosely and the result was a better understanding of the issues.
Let this sink in. 50 years ago the prediction was that 2/5ths of Birmingham's immigrant population and their descendants would take over that city. And what do we have today?
I again come to reply and again stuck in this video. Paul Ennoch’s view is not a view that i share but he has the best arguments to convince and he puts it in a so civil way and makes you think on the issue. This is the type of politician i want to see both left and right. Not a pack of fools who run around like chickens with no head.
When people could openly express their opinions, eloquently discuss and argue back and forth without resorting to screaming obscenities and insults. Wonderful interview...
It is a consequence of British imperialism. Nobody in the Indian/Pakistani sub-continent asked the English to go there. The chickens came home to roost.
I'm 'white,' 60 and live in a very multicultural UK city, I don't think things have turned out that badly at all. My Pakistani decent neighbours are generous and charming with very well behaved, sweet natured children. Think this contrived 'issue' concerns areas of the country that are predominantly white much more than cities like mine.

Miller was correct in his analysis. Human beings are very easily led by charismatic mesmerists. Sadly, even the socially inept ones. Out of Jonathan Miller and Powell, I know which I would rather spend an afternoon's conversation with. The one who is a deeper, more philosophical thinker and not a rabble rouser.
@@Dan-juel especially after he said "if you want a N for a neighbor, vote Labour". I couldn't believe he said the actual word, but I guess this was before political correctness went to such a degree that you were only allowed to say "n-word".

The closer they push us to the cliff the more they want to blind us at the front and mute us from warning those behind us being pushed into that very same abyss.
Imagine two grown men with profoundly different opinions having a conversation of this nature without screaming at each other. These things used to happen!
People today are too immature and controlled by their emotions to have any reasonable debate. Any sniff of an opinion that's different to their own and they get instantly triggered and start screaming "Racism" or "Woke" to instantly silence the person. The Internet is largely to blame.
That sad part is that what he argued against is partly due to the reason why you can't talk like this anymore. What got me was how intelligently they both put forth their arguments and allowed each other to at least finish.
@paddybroderick the news and politics is so bad now. Look at the school shooter in America. They tried hiding the fact that that trans monster purely went out to kill white people(kids).

To be fair, Enoch Powell is not exactly any better.
I fairness to GB news and Talk tv, they're refreshing to watch as they have and express their own opinions, unlike the pandering, scare mongering idiots on channels like BBC, ITV, SKY. The presenters aren't afraid of being outspoken.
@@zaprese If you're comparing a Sam Harris/Ben Affleck exchange to any conversation/debate/interaction that involved Mr. Enoch Powell, then things have really sunk to an all-time low.
Powell was the last genuinely Conservative MP Britain ever had. The Tories now are money grubbing leeches who conserve nothing, quite the opposite in fact.

@@InTenMinutes1 Not true. Joe Rogan's podcast is the #1 in the world and he sometimes has deep, hours-long conversations with scientists, philosophers, etc. etc. If a pot-smoking MMA can do it for hours while attracting millions of views from most lay people, it's clear that the mainstream media could do it as well but are far too short-sighted to do so.
Two people with different and sometimes conflicting views, able to discuss matters intelligently and respectfully without a hint of personal insult or abuse. Something has definitely changed since then.
What has changed is that the mainstream media has become a psyop. Designed to pit factions against factions. Powell is delivering a compelling, intelligent discussion. Not a hint of racism. Just a stark depiction of reality. The truth is in what has transpired since. American cities are in ruins. The populations that inhabit them have failed on their own volition to "evolve".
For all of Enoch Powell's patience, discipline, and intelligence, he failed to stop the genocide from going forward, and the result is a horrifying spectacle of crime, injustice, social regression, and impending collapse. That's where talking about issues will always get you when you are not holding any contingencies to ensure that the oppressor gets bloodied as well.
This conversation wouldn't make the airwaves these days,but how refreshing it is to allow the guests to speak and communicate, most things are solved with communication and not judgement
The quality of people back then, far outweighs that of today. Enoch recognised the problems on the horizon, and oh how he has been proven correct. A visionary.
They all knew. It was so obvious a child could see it. The problem was not lack of vision so much as utter cowardice. Bonhoeffer was quite right in his assessment of such things.
Tourism great, colonialism bad. Why would dark skin people want to move to rainy, cold northern areas where they have no spiritual love of the land. Conquest?
Facts get you cancelled, along with mentioning anything about those special protected peoples (POC/LGBT) if you yourself are not apart of their dillusional world view.
I don't understand people who say Enoch could see into the future, if you're unable to look at society and not telling what's going on you're clearly blind
Great debate from both sides. Two intelligent philosophers understanding eachother's points and counter-arguing. A dying tradition, especially in Britain.
I really enjoy watching these Dick Cavett interviews, I know nothing about him being a Brit but he had some great guests. This interview between two intellectuals is fascinating, possibly because we no longer see these on TV anymore, which is a shame.
@@bernardhessley9599 no, he wasn't. He was playing devil's advocate far better than Cavett was, which is why Cavett gave way. Miller accepted that mass immigration would be problematic and said so many times, he simply asked Powell to look at it from a different perspective, and used the land of the dead metaphor, which Powell praised as being an instructive one, and I agree too.
"I take my share of the blame for it" I'm 42 and I don't recall ever hearing a British politician ever having the integrity to utter those words. (Regardless of what Powell stood for).
@@adolphbismark4331 Powell only made sense to Little Englander's and fans of Oswald Mosely. To anyone with a modicum of sense it was easy to see that he was just recycling the same old lies.
@@edidpro what neighbourhood do you live in and what are the too problems in your neighbourhood? I think that is a reasonable question, please enlighten me.
Enoch was a prophet as well as an intellectual. Miller raises a good point about difference in appearance being the fear factor, yet one simply has to look at the news any day of the week for the last 50 years and you can see it's not appearance, but behaviour.

My son and I strongly debate matters we disagree on as do he and his friends-intelligence and respect for your opponents point of view is still alive and well
As a politician, Enoch Powell didn’t put the thoughts into people’s minds, but rather reflected the feelings and emotions of his constituents and put them into the words that they felt unable to utter aloud for fear of reprisals.
They were too busy worrying about Caribbean people who spoke English, similar culture and same religion. A Black Australian if you will (not Aboriginal). That they ignored all the other groups because they have more Eurocentric features, but not mentality or religion. Britain/Europe is feeling it now. 🤣
I grew up in the 1960s/1970s and Powell didn't say a single thing that the average white Brit "felt unable to say". UK society was for the most part openly racist, and racist terms were a part of everyday speech in working class areas (Powell's language would have been considered tame in the average pub). Society was also openly sexist and homophobic.
@@davidmccann9811I think your comment illuminates the heart of the matter. Culture is more about behaviour. The behaviour of races is different, the behaviour of homosexuals is different the behaviour of modern women is different. Working class Britishness was about behaving a certain way. The indigenous population feared the otherness of alien cultures that would change the demographic. The threat to the patriarchal culture of the country was as at its greatest since the suffrage movement secured the vote for women. Today the scale of immigration threatens to erase Britishness from its cities and banish it into the small towns, villages and countryside of Englands green and pleasant land. The failure of conservatism to protect the last vestiges of the working class British identity and now even labour abandoning what was once their core demographic has left the culture bereft of identity a sense of belonging and a sense of being heard. We can now see the effects of this with the riots that Powell predicted.
@@hugolindum7728i'm not defending him much here, but there are A few people about who are actually like that, they'd probably sympathise with the robber nowadays
Sadly Powell was correct and the damage caused by governments is so obvious for all to see. I suspect if sancatomious Miller was alive today he'd be living in an exclusive white area in Hampstead but I wonder if he'd support Israel in the latest conflict?

@@devogrant2817 Far better than being ruled by knobs who believe in shape-shifting lizards and all the other conspiracy claptrap. Look at any interview with Trump supporters to see how bad it can get.
People can see it, but the BBC and the media circle subliminally control native Brits through the processes of shaming, and guilt tripping. They've been doing it for more than 20+ years, even governments are careful not to upset the BBC. Labour want more immigration - their future depends on it.
Powell makes a VERY prescient point about the advance of medicine and compares it to how we regard the advance of immigration - many of whom work to increase the growth in the living population via working then and now in health and social care.
I seem to remember that in one of Enoch's speeches he quoted that as many as 50.000 immigrants a year might come to the UK, changing the face of our culture irrevocably. If only he knew then about the MILLIONS that would actually come! In London, Slough, Luton, Bradford, Rotherham etc etc the indigenous Brit is an ethnic minority.
Aye because a lot of Brits immigrants, emigrated to Spain etc. But we don't call them immigrants, they are expats. Ha Britainnia rules the waves lol. They make it up as they go along lol 😆
@@barbara-anndonatelliperry The last I heard though, the Brits were welcome in Spain because of the money they brought with them. I'm not sure Spain would be so welcoming if all those people of colour in their little rubber boats headed South instead of West...in fact why don't they, one asks oneself? Could it be that we have a more laissez faire attitude to ILLEGAL immigrants (and their families that follow them in short order!)? Spain is obviously not so generous - nor the Middle East states who accept NO immigrants at all on the basis of 'cultural differences' (huh?).
Just look to how the British Pakistanis have purposefully NOT integrated in a single settlement throughout the UK - Birmingham, Preston, Bolton, Blackburn, Nelson (Christ, this place is every reason you’ll ever need) etc, etc.
I haven't researched this topic, but did this arise from the formation of Pakistan from what was West Pakistan? Were most of the original emigrants Hindi and Buddhist and not Muslim? Now do these communities have to forbear the horrible sound of loudspeakers screaming demonic calls to prayers to people stupidly not able to set their smart phones to a 5 time a day ring?
@George Piddington A bit like all the British immigrants in Spain. Tens of thousands of Brits who have lived here for decades but do not speak a word of Spanish. They live in British settlements, shopping solely at British supermarkets, eating British food and only mixing with other Brits. Sound familliar?
@@JohnSmith-lb6ww this is actually verified in sociological studies. Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone shows that the communities with the most diversity are those with the most Balkanization and lack of community
The number one reason the U.K imports groups of people called immigrants is because the monarchy family of the U.K and the upper class of the U.K decide to invade countries and colonise them. The immigrants used to be called slaves. They would invade middle eastern and African countries for example and take prisoners back home that would be forced to do work/labour for them, many young captives would be trained to fight for them. Pope's and King's and Queens used to start the building up of armies or funding armies to do the invading and when the were successful they would take slaves from the defeated side. The industrial revolution happened and the Pope's, King's/Queens/establishment began to call 'slaves' 'employees' instead. Look at Epic History tv YT channel, Europeans were taken as slaves for the last 1000 years and more. Modern tv propaganda implies only 'black' people were enslaved in the old style slavery. Most people agreed and agree with Powell. Everywhere that has had 'white' people 'migrate' to non 'white' countries has been and is regarded as negative. Yet they say the Native Indians of America had their land 'stolen'. The french and Belgians going to African countries was a bad thing but large non 'white' groups being brought to mostly 'white' countries is not bad somehow? The pope's and kings/queens still exist and and now business people/ banking families and they make cowards like Cavett and the other posh coward spin propaganda to indigenous 'white' people that if they speak about their replacement as such they will be called racist. Eventually they are going to switch the narrative to 'there are too many 'black' people or 'poc' in top jobs and start to remove them.
@@user-yp3oj5se1i You don't know anything about the UK do you? The vast majority of slaves in the British Isles have been Britons enslaved by immigrants (like the Romans, Angles, Jutes, Danes, Normans, etc.).
@@douglasherron7534 Can you give one example of what you are talking about? Where do you think i showed that i didn't know about UK? That's so strange how you say "The vast majority of slaves in the British Isles have been Britons"? Yes they "have been" slaves centuries ago. That was centuries ago. Britain has been doing the enslaving migration since. Rome invaded and attacked Gaelic/Irish people that were living in England ( not called England at the time) as the Irish populated Scotland and the country now called England. Ogham stones were and many still are located all around Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. They are pre British and fully Gaelic/Irish. Britons only began after rome invaded. They were not called Britons before that, nowadays the British media/government use a made up term ( Celts) to describe the Gaelic/Irish people that lived there at the time. Celts, celtic people never existed, The British media only began to use the term 'Celt' in the 1700's. As a way of ignoring/not talking about the fact that Gaelic clans inhabited both islands pre roman invasion. Ancient Britons very first day of existence was when Rome colonised the area now called England. Ireland was only referred to as 'British' when occupied by Britain like how the U.S was when occupied by them. Ireland has been occupied by Dutch and Norwegian and English in the past but beat their invaders and is still Gaelic/Irish nowadays. ' Isle' is a geographical term for a much smaller island beside a larger island, The island of Ireland is not small enough to be an isle geographically. It is also much much older than England and Britain and as it's not part of Britain. It could have been known as British when occupied by Britain but even then not an isle like how Japan is not a Chinese isle. Referring to Ireland as British or a British isle and referring to Irish people as celts or Britons is simply incorrect and used as propaganda. "Celt is a modern English word, first attested in 1707, in the writing of Edward Lhuyd,". Isn't that funny how you claimed i knew nothing and yet schooled you?
Well he was probably right but personally I feel he went over the top with all that stuff about grinning piccaninnies. As he said himself, all political life ends in failure.
Politics is all about winning over the moderates, middle ground voters to your line of thinking. Enoch made them run the other way. His verbal excess harmed the cause he was invested in.
OK but all that stuff about the River Tiber foaming with much blood and black men having the whip hand was nonetheless very inflammatory. Even close friends abandoned Enoch after the speech. He did have a reputation too after his resignation with Thorneycroft over the Macmillan budget. Probably right on that too.
@DeSpereaux even if we had them ,people were just alot more layed back & didn't take life to seriously & knew how to have a laugh no matter what the circumstances back then. We had great times ,you could feel the energy in the air life was that good.
Help me, please. I can't stop chortling at your comment and fully agree with your keen observation, except that I'm bound to add my own underwhelming observation which is this: respective subject matters up for debate down the pub will reflect the broadest of broad spectrums with absolutely nothing in it for middle-brow England, to say nothing of the Scotch, the Taffies and the custodians of Unionism in the island of Ireland, which remains a two-headed conundrum if ever there was one. Got that, have we?
Enoch Powell was a brilliant man; the youngest enlisted man to be promoted to Brigadier, the youngest student to rise to lecturer in OxBridge, an open, honest politician who's only crime was to speak what everyone else was thinking. And looking at the state of the UK now, he was bang on.
@@derekspitz9225 Those effected by it were. The residents of places like Bradford certainly agreed with him and some parts of London. The rest of the country didn't really see immigrants, so it wasn't an issue for them. It took the influx of millions of Eastern Europeans in the mid 00s to finally wake the rest of the population up and of course the continued growth of the first generation, that began to move out into the suburbs. All of a sudden, every town up and down the country had large numbers of foreigners living in them, hence Brexit. Of course, there were the usual shitlibs who were all for it, but their numbers were small in Powell's day. Sadly, the universities have been churning them out for decades now and their numbers have grown exponentially.
@@suttonformutton6094 lumping all immigrants in together and generalising about them is the problem. There are economic migrants who come from the EU and contribute more than they consume. These are good for our country and if they don't find work in 3 months they can be deported. That's entirely at the whim of the UK government, not the EU. Then there are economic migrants from non EU countries. They also have a net benefit, albeit less that EU migrants. Brexit won't address this. Then we have refugees. These come from a wide range of countries and circumstances so it's not easy to generalise, each has to be looked at individually. Then there are the illegals. These are a problem, although many of them are the victim of international gangs who rip them off or traffic them. It's interesting to note that while our country has benefited hugely from immigration our governments haven't used the money to keep up with services. They haven't built more hospitals, employed more doctors, police, nurses, teachers. If anything they've cut the numbers. So the population feels squeezed and instead of blaming governments who took the money and helped billionaires get richer they instead listened to the Press, owned by the same tax dodging billionaires, and blamed it all on foreigners. And then they blamed the EU. Repeatedly. Lie after lie after lie. Johnson only backed Leave because he thought it would be a good way to oppose the government and increase his profile. He didn't expect to win. He knows damn well any deal we could get will be worse than what we have, he knows leaving without a deal will leave us much worse off. But everyone blamed foreigners, without identifying which ones were bad and which ones weren't. Everyone voted for Right wing governments who cut public services and tried to end socialism and now there's a pandemic and children going without school lunches suddenly want hand outs from government. People are gonna get what they voted for and that's the price they're gonna pay for being ignorant and stupid. Don't vote for a clown because you think he's funny because ultimately he's still a fucking clown.
@@JB_inks That's quite a diatribe and mostly wrong. I can't really be bothered to argue with someone who thinks we have a right wing government in this country. Right wing governments don't champion progressive causes and continue mass immigration. You're deluded.

The few times I've been back - well, it's certainly changed significantly and demograhics of some cities were just as Powell predicted. The inclement weather was the same though.
Oh so you left to become an immigrant but now have come back and are criticising other immigrants. Maybe you were the right kind of immigrant and they are not. Maybe you were an ex-pat, a much more palatable title.

Conorshaw ..not true Britain was battered by the IRA ,the Irish were not kicked out or mistreated by the British people. Mainly due to strict laws the same laws that protect asians and africans . After his speech Labour brought in tough laws that could see people go to prison now laws to protect perverts .. In 2023 ,sadly everything he said is true. No go areas in many cities . A total alien culture dominating everything. The BBC dedicated a whole documentary to the Curry barons . Turn on the TV particularly the news and it is spot the white man. Asian studio presenter crossing to other asians around the globe all working for the BBC . The white English protestant is a distant memory in their own land. This week October 2023 sees gangs of immigrants raiding shops in London's famous and affluent Oxford street . In the 1970's it was very rare to see a non white person there . Now hundreds charging in and out of shops like a Viking raid . Mr Lyon MP for York and Hugh Heffer walton MP were totally wrong when in Mr Lyons case stated that " the next generation will be born here ,brought up in our culture and fully integrated like any English person " well facts are facts and he was totally wrong. It was just wishful thinking on his part. The asians have turned whole districts into the squalid dumps that they left behind. The others are just as violent as they are today in the countries that they left . Now today the Tory party is run by asians who like Joe Biden aline's with Ireland ( non NATO ) they aline with hindu India and believe in the cast system. So not only have they destroyed what they came here for they now run his party ,and very badly . It is too late , the country is finished . Do gooders embraced the asians and crapped on their own. Turn the lights off and leave if you can. However where to go after BREXIT ?
Who was asked if they were happy with the influx? Who was happy with anything then or now? They take the taxes etc in government and basically decide without the general population even knowing what is happening , they have never listened to the working man.

No-one 'allowed' anything, it was foisted on us regardless and any opposition branded, shamed and discredited, we're a nation that values it's freedom and can't easily be controlled so those in charge need to replace us with a nation used to being herded that can be, the conditioning's been going on for decades, every movie put in front of your eyes, every song put in your ears, every youth movement you thought organic and special, the marvel of the pill etc etc, all calculated and deliberate, one day you'll join the dots and be horrified how much you yourself have been messed with, how your empathy has been exploited, then you'll be the monster you think you're here arguing with, living in a lonely world with an irrefutable understanding of the world around you that you can't share with your friends and family, it ain't pretty but if you value truth it's necessary
I feel the internet has filled the vacuum left by the disappearance of this kind of television, and proved there is a huge demand for intelligent debates. Keep expecting Dick to start reading out Super Chats.
The point is that if Britain were a democracy mass immigration by people who will never integrate, assimilate or identify with this country would never have happened. The truth is Britain was not a democracy back in those days and even less so now. I know, I lived through that era.

By making this 'older people create conflict' metaphor, Miller affirms Enoch's view that societal cohesion is indeed a problem Miller effectively argued against himself. If old people create generational conflict on our society, then why would we want to stress society further by adding immigrants?
Indeed, similar to the argument that Peter Hitchens has made on Question Time (I'm paraphrasing): "Yes, but if we know that London itself is overpopulated and has caused housing prices in London to be completely unaffordable to all but the superwealthy, and why there is a housing shortage in the nation at large, why should we exacerbate the problem by importing more and more immigrants?" As Enoch Powell said in this interview, one is inevitable and one isn't.

Two very articulate and intelligent people having a civilised debate. I think there is an obvious flaw in Miller's argument concerning the elderly. A person who has spent his entire life in a country, regardless of how much it has changed in the course of his lifetime, still has considerably more in common with his younger compatriots than someone from an entirely different culture.
Not entirely sure that's true in my experience. Generally speaking people closer to my age I feel I have more in common with regardless of their cultural background as most have shared similar world views.
He was proved wrong. Now we have assisted dying. Euthanasia is the logical follow-up to abortion. The economically inactive are removed from society. And people like Miller will cheer it on, many years after making his point about the value of elderly. A liar with an agenda. The agenda of the neoliberal elites and their electric no-driving cars.

@UniworldCityGGaon I wouldn't say Jonathan Miller was a toff only. He was a qualified medical doctor who specialised in Neurology, was an esteemed opera and theatre director and was one of the four members of Beyond the Fringe, which I admired greatly. He wasn't qualified however, in my opinion, to debate with Enoch Powell on such a divisive and potentially explosive issue.
@@DhukuAC our tribe is the most beautiful and tallest with the greatest diversity of eyes hair and physiques. Ethnics are brown eyes brown skin and black hair. Cry some more. You will never be tier 1 phenotype nordic.
Enoch's warning was regarding lack of INTEGRATION to the British culture and British way of life. It's clear today that many migrants refuse to integrate, and that's why we have large areas filled with foreign culture. Enoch was 100% right, and only a fool would argue that. Race isn't the issue, it's multiculturalism which is a threat to the British way if life in the long run. We are more divided than ever before these days and it's clear to see why
Unlike today's spineless intellectually stunted so called politicians, Enoch was a man of principle and integrity. He wrote all of his own speeches and would have been horrified by the advent of spin doctors. He was a political heavyweight. The same can be said of politicians from that era whose politics I disagreed with like Michael Foot and Tony Benn. They had great intellects and acted on principle . There are no political heavyweights left anymore I'm afraid. That is why the country is in the mess it is.
@@markriley5863 Powell had an outstanding intellect and also like most of his generation of politicians served during in one of the World Wars. Horald Macmillan was one of 2 students to survive the first world war out of 28. We have no idea of what these people went through.
One of my earliest memories was traveling to Belfast with my dad and being on the same plane Enoch. I think even he would be surprised at the extent of how far some areas of this country have fallen.
In the now infamous and unfairly named 'Rivers of Blood' speech, Powell spoke about a street in Birmingham which had just a single white woman left living on it. The press and his detractors called him a liar, a bombast, a sensationalist, a stoker of racial tensions. No one believed that there would be a street in Britain where all the white people had been replaced by immigrants; now we have entire districts, sometimes almost entire towns, sometimes almost entire cities where there are no white-British people.
It was a peculiar and chilling portentous analogy on his part. Enoch Powell was strategically urbane in his response and pointed out the obvious. A great skill Powell used time after time to show the idiocy at the heart of hypocrisy.
No, the immigrants are just making rational decisions to improve their living standards. They are not individually responsible for the catastrophe that is the modern world, and our political class.
p Pooky And who elected the leaders? as soon as the ink was dry on the surrender paper the people told Winston Churchill in political term to F... off, as a thank you, and voted for the party that was responsible for importing thousands of people from the Carabean to help rebuild the country, no one asked the local population if they mainded. no other country who suffered more destruction took that action, and they recovered as well , if not better. The politician are not from another planet.
I don't blame the immigrants - Having ruined their homes, they were chasing a better life elsewhere. I don't blame the politicians - Lying hypocritical opportunists, but that was clear before they were elected, when have they EVER pursued other than the easy short term path? So who to blame? Well there is only one group left. Pretty obvious who's fault it was. Ask the members of Solidarity who threw off their Communist masters and risked death to do so... what they think of YOU.
Enoch Powell a man of courage, wisdom and insight. F everyone who writes him off as some "skinheads idol". Go ahead. Argue. He was ABSOLUTELY right. Everlasting respect to the man.
Was such an man of courage, wisdom and insight that he pinned everything down to just "Skin Colour". Plus, he didn't foresee an black woman MP taking his seat did he? What a visionary lol.

This guy seems awesome.
I grew up in the 1960s/1970s and Powell didn't say a single thing that the average white Brit "felt unable to say". UK society was for the most part openly racist, and racist terms were a part of everyday speech in working class areas (Powell's language would have been considered tame in the average pub). Society was also openly sexist and homophobic.
@@davidmccann9811I think your comment illuminates the heart of the matter. Culture is more about behaviour. The behaviour of races is different, the behaviour of homosexuals is different the behaviour of modern women is different. Working class Britishness was about behaving a certain way. The indigenous population feared the otherness of alien cultures that would change the demographic. The threat to the patriarchal culture of the country was as at its greatest since the suffrage movement secured the vote for women. Today the scale of immigration threatens to erase Britishness from its cities and banish it into the small towns, villages and countryside of Englands green and pleasant land. The failure of conservatism to protect the last vestiges of the working class British identity and now even labour abandoning what was once their core demographic has left the culture bereft of identity a sense of belonging and a sense of being heard. We can now see the effects of this with the riots that Powell predicted.

Powell makes a VERY prescient point about the advance of medicine and compares it to how we regard the advance of immigration - many of whom work to increase the growth in the living population via working then and now in health and social care.
I seem to remember that in one of Enoch's speeches he quoted that as many as 50.000 immigrants a year might come to the UK, changing the face of our culture irrevocably. If only he knew then about the MILLIONS that would actually come! In London, Slough, Luton, Bradford, Rotherham etc etc the indigenous Brit is an ethnic minority.
Aye because a lot of Brits immigrants, emigrated to Spain etc. But we don't call them immigrants, they are expats. Ha Britainnia rules the waves lol. They make it up as they go along lol 😆
@@barbara-anndonatelliperry The last I heard though, the Brits were welcome in Spain because of the money they brought with them. I'm not sure Spain would be so welcoming if all those people of colour in their little rubber boats headed South instead of West...in fact why don't they, one asks oneself? Could it be that we have a more laissez faire attitude to ILLEGAL immigrants (and their families that follow them in short order!)? Spain is obviously not so generous - nor the Middle East states who accept NO immigrants at all on the basis of 'cultural differences' (huh?).

Very true. The UK is lost
The number one reason the U.K imports groups of people called immigrants is because the monarchy family of the U.K and the upper class of the U.K decide to invade countries and colonise them. The immigrants used to be called slaves. They would invade middle eastern and African countries for example and take prisoners back home that would be forced to do work/labour for them, many young captives would be trained to fight for them.
Pope's and King's and Queens used to start the building up of armies or funding armies to do the invading and when the were successful they would take slaves from the defeated side. The industrial revolution happened and the Pope's, King's/Queens/establishment began to call 'slaves' 'employees' instead.
Look at Epic History tv YT channel, Europeans were taken as slaves for the last 1000 years and more. Modern tv propaganda implies only 'black' people were enslaved in the old style slavery.
Most people agreed and agree with Powell. Everywhere that has had 'white' people 'migrate' to non 'white' countries has been and is regarded as negative. Yet they say the Native Indians of America had their land 'stolen'. The french and Belgians going to African countries was a bad thing but large non 'white' groups being brought to mostly 'white' countries is not bad somehow? The pope's and kings/queens still exist and and now business people/ banking families and they make cowards like Cavett and the other posh coward spin propaganda to indigenous 'white' people that if they speak about their replacement as such they will be called racist. Eventually they are going to switch the narrative to 'there are too many 'black' people or 'poc' in top jobs and start to remove them.
@@user-yp3oj5se1i You don't know anything about the UK do you? The vast majority of slaves in the British Isles have been Britons enslaved by immigrants (like the Romans, Angles, Jutes, Danes, Normans, etc.).
@@douglasherron7534 Can you give one example of what you are talking about?
Where do you think i showed that i didn't know about UK?
That's so strange how you say "The vast majority of slaves in the British Isles have been Britons"?
Yes they "have been" slaves centuries ago. That was centuries ago. Britain has been doing the enslaving migration since.
Rome invaded and attacked Gaelic/Irish people that were living in England ( not called England at the time) as the Irish populated Scotland and the country now called England. Ogham stones were and many still are located all around Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. They are pre British and fully Gaelic/Irish. Britons only began after rome invaded.
They were not called Britons before that, nowadays the British media/government use a made up term ( Celts) to describe the Gaelic/Irish people that lived there at the time.
Celts, celtic people never existed, The British media only began to use the term 'Celt' in the 1700's. As a way of ignoring/not talking about the fact that Gaelic clans inhabited both islands pre roman invasion.
Ancient Britons very first day of existence was when Rome colonised the area now called England.
Ireland was only referred to as 'British' when occupied by Britain like how the U.S was when occupied by them. Ireland has been occupied by Dutch and Norwegian and English in the past but beat their invaders and is still Gaelic/Irish nowadays.
' Isle' is a geographical term for a much smaller island beside a larger island, The island of Ireland is not small enough to be an isle geographically.
It is also much much older than England and Britain and as it's not part of Britain. It could have been known as British when occupied by Britain but even then not an isle like how Japan is not a Chinese isle. Referring to Ireland as British or a British isle and referring to Irish people as celts or Britons is simply incorrect and used as propaganda.
"Celt is a modern English word, first attested in 1707, in the writing of Edward Lhuyd,".

@@lesleywild8706 You are right and his original famous speech was mostly relaying what he had been told by his constituents.
Enoch was a professor at the University then brigadier in the army before the age of 30.
Well he was probably right but personally I feel he went over the top with all that stuff about grinning piccaninnies. As he said himself, all political life ends in failure.
He was unionist MP for South Down too and liked some of the people from Kincora home. Ask the survivors.
Politics is all about winning over the moderates, middle ground voters to your line of thinking. Enoch made them run the other way. His verbal excess harmed the cause he was invested in.
@Alex Ryan The grinning piccaninnies?
OK but all that stuff about the River Tiber foaming with much blood and black men having the whip hand was nonetheless very inflammatory. Even close friends abandoned Enoch after the speech. He did have a reputation too after his resignation with Thorneycroft over the Macmillan budget. Probably right on that too.
Powell is very good and not afraid to state the truth how refreshing
This debate is still relevant 60 years later. 😊

Help me, please. I can't stop chortling at your comment and fully agree with your keen observation, except that I'm bound to add my own underwhelming observation which is this: respective subject matters up for debate down the pub will reflect the broadest of broad spectrums with absolutely nothing in it for middle-brow England, to say nothing of the Scotch, the Taffies and the custodians of Unionism in the island of Ireland, which remains a two-headed conundrum if ever there was one.

@@CC-ff7ftbefore mass immigration
What a beautiful debate... so well articulated
Yes, imagine todays politicians like Angela Reyna and Diane Abbot discussing the topic.
Enoch Powell was a brilliant man; the youngest enlisted man to be promoted to Brigadier, the youngest student to rise to lecturer in OxBridge, an open, honest politician who's only crime was to speak what everyone else was thinking. And looking at the state of the UK now, he was bang on.
@Cardinal Fang But that's the point. It wasn't what everybody else was thinking.
@@derekspitz9225 Those effected by it were. The residents of places like Bradford certainly agreed with him and some parts of London. The rest of the country didn't really see immigrants, so it wasn't an issue for them. It took the influx of millions of Eastern Europeans in the mid 00s to finally wake the rest of the population up and of course the continued growth of the first generation, that began to move out into the suburbs. All of a sudden, every town up and down the country had large numbers of foreigners living in them, hence Brexit. Of course, there were the usual shitlibs who were all for it, but their numbers were small in Powell's day. Sadly, the universities have been churning them out for decades now and their numbers have grown exponentially.
@@suttonformutton6094 lumping all immigrants in together and generalising about them is the problem.
There are economic migrants who come from the EU and contribute more than they consume. These are good for our country and if they don't find work in 3 months they can be deported. That's entirely at the whim of the UK government, not the EU.
Then there are economic migrants from non EU countries. They also have a net benefit, albeit less that EU migrants. Brexit won't address this.
Then we have refugees. These come from a wide range of countries and circumstances so it's not easy to generalise, each has to be looked at individually.
Then there are the illegals. These are a problem, although many of them are the victim of international gangs who rip them off or traffic them.
It's interesting to note that while our country has benefited hugely from immigration our governments haven't used the money to keep up with services. They haven't built more hospitals, employed more doctors, police, nurses, teachers. If anything they've cut the numbers. So the population feels squeezed and instead of blaming governments who took the money and helped billionaires get richer they instead listened to the Press, owned by the same tax dodging billionaires, and blamed it all on foreigners.
And then they blamed the EU. Repeatedly. Lie after lie after lie.
Johnson only backed Leave because he thought it would be a good way to oppose the government and increase his profile. He didn't expect to win.
He knows damn well any deal we could get will be worse than what we have, he knows leaving without a deal will leave us much worse off.
But everyone blamed foreigners, without identifying which ones were bad and which ones weren't.
Everyone voted for Right wing governments who cut public services and tried to end socialism and now there's a pandemic and children going without school lunches suddenly want hand outs from government.
People are gonna get what they voted for and that's the price they're gonna pay for being ignorant and stupid. Don't vote for a clown because you think he's funny because ultimately he's still a fucking clown.

Miller effectively argued against himself.
If old people create generational conflict on our society, then why would we want to stress society further by adding immigrants?
Indeed, similar to the argument that Peter Hitchens has made on Question Time (I'm paraphrasing): "Yes, but if we know that London itself is overpopulated and has caused housing prices in London to be completely unaffordable to all but the superwealthy, and why there is a housing shortage in the nation at large, why should we exacerbate the problem by importing more and more immigrants?"

Two very articulate and intelligent people having a civilised debate. I think there is an obvious flaw in Miller's argument concerning the elderly. A person who has spent his entire life in a country, regardless of how much it has changed in the course of his lifetime, still has considerably more in common with his younger compatriots than someone from an entirely different culture.
Miller made an idiot of himself with that point. Perhaps indicating a problem with his own parents.. Hilarious as he is supposedly an "intellectual"
Just because you are well educated and have a good vocabulary doesn't make you a genius.
Not only that but he has paid taxes and other fees that give him the right to a pension and health care.
Not entirely sure that's true in my experience. Generally speaking people closer to my age I feel I have more in common with regardless of their cultural background as most have shared similar world views.
He was proved wrong. Now we have assisted dying. Euthanasia is the logical follow-up to abortion. The economically inactive are removed from society.
