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 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.
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.
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?
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.
as still primitive mammalian beings we still are wired to recognise different or unusual as - possible threat and dont realise we let that become an overiding factor in our judgment We just see it as potentially dangerous and act accordingly not giving it a second thought and that has become dangerous in itself :/

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.

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.

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.).

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.

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.

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. 🤣

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.
as still primitive mammalian beings we still are wired to recognise different or unusual as - possible threat and dont realise we let that become an overiding factor in our judgment
We just see it as potentially dangerous and act accordingly not giving it a second thought
and that has become dangerous in itself :/
I think the horribe truth is that appearance and behavior have far more correlation than modern, "enlightened," Westerners want to believe.
Right now its ideology
Yet being fearful, distressed or alarmed at someone's behaviour may get them arrested for causing fear.

The same old whine.
And there,are the changes and problems Powell was pointing out.
But here we all are saying exactly what we want.
Those that bemoan the death of free speech usually want to say something cunty but not face the consequences of people responding with, “don’t be cunty.”
We’re only reading this on the internet. Has any of us NOT endured the opinions of others every single time we go online?
The UK sealed its fate when it didn't listen to Enoch. Too late now.
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,".
Isn't that funny how you claimed i knew nothing and yet schooled you?
@@cianog It hasn't been lost yet, it's wrong to give up hope too soon!
This open debate is more important now than it ever has been especially for legacy media to broadcast it…
If only we had listened.
"Would You want to live in a fools paradise?"
Mr. Powell just nailed it again.
It’s where the working class who vote Tory are going to end up.
I remember a time when you could hear great debates like this every night down the local pub.
🤣now it's just halfwits struggling to make a sentance
Well, I suppose there would need to still be pubs for that..😒
@@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.
@@CC-ff7ft yeah well, it can be hard to summon the energy after you’ve consumed your carvery and finished appeasing the children that are running through the tables, working of a sugar rush from the limitless ice cream.. Besides nobody can afford the 2 pints it takes to get into the mood..😅
@@DeSpereaux_ so true.🤣
Everything he said came true, the man was a prophet and true patriot. Most politicians are traitors nowadays.
Enoch Powell is wasting his time there trying to debate with Mr Bean! Everything Powell said back then has come to fruition and all to the detriment of the UK
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.
@@JB_inks You're right. But Sutton for Mutton wouldn't understand. Don't waste you breath.
@@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.
