Nearly 50 years ago British MP Enoch Powell gave one of the most racist and controversial speeches in British political history. “Rivers of Blood”, as it came to be known, was a tirade against Indians and Africans coming to work and settle in Britain. Powell and his supporters didn’t care that Indians were very hard-working and went on to prosper beyond their imagination. Britain may not be back in the 1960s yet but there are ominous signs it is heading back into the direction Enoch Powell wanted. It doesn’t matter there is little evidence to show British workers overall are being undercut by workers from other countries.
