It cannot be read by British people too many times. That most of them are unaware of it, I do not doubt for one minute. That the name Powell, when mentioned by his detractors is equated with "race hate" I would imagine.
Edward Heath, then Prime Minister of Britain, dismissed Powell from ministerial duties. Heath died just ten days after the horrific underground train explosion and the London bus disaster. I pray this icon of bogus Conservatism, Heath, was mentally alert to the last. He then knew of the "rivers of blood",foretold by Powell. As for the French, many sneered at Jean Raspail and his "The Camp of the Saints". Well, at least there are the Aussies.
<< Well, at least there are the Aussies. >>
I am in Australia at present and am daily appalled by the huge numbers of people here who blindly and/or willingly/hatefully join the un-and-anti-Australian and America [And, it follows, Judeo-Christian/Western Civilization] hating ranks of and follow such of the Socialist Internationalist lickspittles as the execrable "Green"senators, Bob Brown and Kerry Nettle and other politicians of the as-execrable and as haplessly power-hungry and stand-for-nothing, fall-for-anything 'Australian "Democrats"' and of the underlying foundational core of the Australian Labour Party.
But, while never losing sight of the awful reality of the obscenely-opportunistic gun grab he pulled a few years ago - and that he is on record as saying often and emphatically that the protection and defense of one's and one's family lives is not an acceptable to his government reason to be issued a permit to own a weapon - am somewhat relieved by the steadying tiller hand of Aussie battler and prime minister, John Howard.
And I particularly like the unshakable resolve to live in and to deal with reality that is demonstrated every minute of every day by Australia's former Minister for Immigration and present Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock. Mr Ruddock has a Vice-President Dick Cheney-like quality.
And, should John Howard decide to retire, oh that the indefatigable Mr Ruddock succeed him as prime minister.
