Words

Enoch would never have uttered

[Daily Mail- Friday, November 9, 2007]

THERE is a long standing form of moral evasion popular among politicians - and some journalists too - which has always intrigued me , if only for its

IMPUDENCE

It involves Enoch Powell's so called 'river of blood' speech in 1968, whose recollection has forced the resignation of the Tory candidate for Halesowen and Rowley Regis. The speech itself, incidentally, was notable for understating the prospective immigrant population.

'Ah, yes, you see,' the cry of the political elite has long run (I read it again last week),

'It was that speech , that phrase, which made rational discussion of immigration impossible.'

Note the implication that these people had been indulging in a rational debate on immigration only to be thrown off course by Powell's hand-grenade.

Let me assure you with every fibre of my being that a rational discussion was just what leading politicians were avoiding.

THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

by both front benches

-which drove Powell to fury.

Far from making thoughtful debate impossible, his speech and reaction made it

VERY URGENT

As an admirer and friend of Powell I was myself dismayed by that sanguinary phrase. But the real shock lay in the public reaction.

Dockers from the East End marched on Westminster demanding  to protest at

TED HEATH

sacking Powell from the Shadow Cabinet.

Opinion polls showed massive backing for Powell, to say nothing of the largest politician's postbag on record, in which the overwhelming majority supported him.

THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

sprang from the fact that the problem had become so daunting. Effective action would have to be on a major scale , admit to previous failures and would risk, indeed ensure, denunciation from every pulpit in the land (lay and clerical)

It was easier for politicians and commentators, all secure in their leafy suburbs, to assure the public that the problem would be solved by

INTEGRATION

NOW, however, the genie was out of the bottle. So in the 1970 Tory manifesto Heath promised

'No further large scale permanent immigration'.

BUT

of course, there was.

The 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act

TOO LITTLE and TOO LATE

had allowed those already here or able to secure work vouchers to bring in their families and 'dependant relatives'.

THEY CAME IN SWARMS

PARENTS

GRANDPARENTS

UNCLES

and

SISTERS

and their

COUSINS

and their AUNTS.

They came from the sub-continent where birth certificates were far form common and anyone could claim a blood relationship. Money readily changed hands. So that Tories changed the law to say that only

Spouses

Fiances

and

Fiancees

would be allowed.

But by 1976, the level of intercontinental match-making had reached such a level the Foreign Office dispatched a senior official to the sub-continent to assess the

PROBLEM.

He observed that allowing in married and affianced partners would open up a whole new group of applicants -'subsequently entitling

PARENTS

GRANDPARENTS

and allegedly distressed

RELATIVES

to seek entry.

IT WOULD BE LIKE BAILING OUT THE OCEAN.

SO AN EFFORT was made to tighten up the rules but it was -how did you guess?

TOO LITTLE-TOO LATE

Since Heath's promise

TO CLOSE THE DOOR

more than

3,000,000

non-British immigrants have arrived

IN THIS COUNTRY

And traffic in spouses between such places such as

BRADFORD and BANGALORE

HAS CONTINUED APACE

Two other factors have long overhung any rational debate on

IMMIGRATION

Most obvious, in an echo of the Salem witchcraft trials, has been the tactic of pointing at someone and shrieking

'RACIST'

-the sin against the Holy Ghost - and even calling for

POLICE ACTION

Believe me , this accusation has long scared the wits out of

FLEET STREET EDITORS

-their legal departments

media commentators generally and politicians of every shade.

IT HAS BEEN CENSORSHIP BY ANOTHER NAME

-the public has been duly cowed.

A technical problem has added to this because the word

RACE

is SHORT -and EASY to FIT into a HEADLINE -while IMMIGRATION isn't. So arguments about IMMIGRATION were labelled in innumerable headlines as being about

'RACE'

The other problem which hindered meaningful debate was that immigrants had come to form a grouping of such

SIZE and IDENTITY

that politicians on all sides thought well worth wooing, indeed crawling to.

NOW

David Cameron has woken up, in intervals between sacking Tory front benchers and Tory candidates for 'racism' to the Government's vulnerability on

IMMIGRATION.

Ministers have trebled the number of work vouchers available to foreign workers over ten years to a level running at

150,000 a year

Cameron has no serious solution to

IMMIGRATION

but as the saying is, every bit helps.

The supreme irony of this week's fuss around Powell's 1968 speech is that recently had our supposedly internationalist Prime Minister promising

'BRITISH JOBS for BRITISH WORKERS.

Enoch would not have touched such a phrase with a bargepole.

[Under PR- Proportional Representation the Immigration levels would have been curtailed because the Government of the Day would feel obliged to take a stronger line in order to gather up the votes and back to power. But as we all know it has been this single-minded attitude of the tripartite in your

HOUSE OF COMMONS

to keep power within their grasp and to hell to any outsiders.

Most of the problems in our society over the past 40 years have occurred because of the determination of the party in power to take what they consider a more lenient line on policy whether it is

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

ABORTION

IMMIGRATION

and no doubt dozens of other matters which has resulted in absolute chaos in the above areas.

If they are able to claw in another small section of the community which will be ready voters they will change anything what ever the consequences to the people and the country.

We have been calling for the introduction of

PR in our PARLIAMENT

for many years as a number of bulletins on our website can testify but the very organisations that could achieve this necessary alteration -the numerous political organisations in our country appear not to be interested. And that is the PROBLEM

and until we change the system we shall see the constant over-regulation by the Government and the hair-brained schemes adopted by the so-called OPPOSITION which lays a path of problems in the future.

Of course if PR had been in place over the last four decades there would not have been the

WAR in IRAQ

or even

Mission Impossible in Afghanistan.

The Abortion Bill would only have passed if much greater safeguards had been put in place.

Immigration would have been freely discussed and sensible measures adopted to allow controlled entry ONLY and those who were prepared to INTEGRATE and NOT THREATEN the very existence of the COUNTRY that they were adopting.

Abolition of Capital Punishment Bill failed to honour the feelings in the country that if the Death Sentence was abolished that MURDER would mean a LIFE SENTENCE where the circumstances warrant it. Even before the abolition of the penalty over 50 per cent of murderers had their sentence commuted to life imprisonment and that didn't mean twelve or even three years or less today. The liberal establishment have much to answer for ,whether in believing that prisons should be five star hotels or that a fine that is never paid is the answer to the increased

MURDERS- GUN /KNIFE CRIME- BURGLARY- ROBBERY-THEFT-ASSAULT and whatever.

Our so-called Criminal Justice system would have been unable to treat prisoners as visitors and victims as criminals and there would have been Bobbies of the Beat- more prisons, and punishment to fit the crime.

Over the past 40 years the majority of your politicians in

YOUR HOUSE of COMMONS

 have been feathering their own nests to the point today in November 2007 there are many of them on a comfortable

£250,000 [at least] a year.

They fiddle their expenses-They lie about their expenditure-They lie about the true facts of the EU. In fact many of them lie about almost everything. They only work for a little over half a year .They have gold-plated pensions and they will be comfortable for the rest of their lives. As for what happens to their country as far as many of them are concerned our country had never existed.

Of course in such a bedlam there are a small group of men and women of

Honour and Integrity

who alas are ignored by their colleagues -some say they even detest them. Guilty secrets no doubt.

As for Europe the lies could not have been hidden if there had been eurosceptic parties at Westminster.  And the CONSPIRACY that has taken place since 1972 would not have been in place and our NATIONHOOD and COUNTRY threatened with extinction as will be the case in your Parliament in the early months of 2008.
