But Churchill is widely quoted (and widely quotable) whereas Powell is the darling of Britain's xenophobic racists almost exclusively. I find it odd that someone who choses such a screenname makes no effort to dissociate himself from that group.
My understanding is that the particular catchphrase he uses originated with Eric Clapton, not the BNP.
My understanding is that one need not coin a phrase to be responsible for uttering it.
For such a vocal opponent of Powell, you certainly haven't familiarized yourself with him very much. In fact the BNP crowd's knowledge of him is limited almost entirely to a media-inspired mis-truncation of a single line in a single speech he gave almost 40 years ago.
In reality Powell was a highly influential and multi-faceted thinker and political leader. He is a well regarded Greek scholar who penned the leading modern translation of Herodotus. He was also a widely published biographer of several historical subjects, and a well regarded poet whose collected works are still in print. And, of course, he wrote dozens of political tracts that have influenced subsequent Tories, among them Thatcher.

And why should he? I don't believe he's ever claimed BNP membership. It is thus not incumbent upon him to disclaim it any more than I should expect you to disclaim association with CAIR, seeing as you seem to hold their viewpoints on Ellison.
