Speech that has raised a storm- Birmingham Post

I quote: Mr Enoch Powell, Conservative Member of Parliament. He said Britain must be mad to allow the inflow of some 50,000 dependants of immigrants every year. Speaking in Birmingham, Mr Powell went on, that is was like

"watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre".

Mr Powell then forecast the "Rivers of Blood" that would eventually be felt in England. He paid a heavy price. Edward Heath, Prime Minister disowned Powell. Ironically, Heath died ten days after the London subway horror. The date of the speech was April 22nd 1968.

And Enoch was upset about the prospect of a mere 50,000 more immigrants, it's 500,000/year now.
