Funny that you don't denounce the racist (and foreign nationalist) BNP that claims him as their intellectual father. The silence is deafening.

Powell did not belong to the BNP, making your attempt to connect him to it a faulty guilt by association argument. Powell was a Tory thru the early 70's, then an Ulster Unionist until his death. His real intellectual followers included such ranks as Margaret Thatcher and, of course, Eric Clapton.

I'm not trying to hang that particular albatross around Enoch Powell's neck, although his speeches have given aid and comfort to racists throughout Albion. My quarrel here is with EnochPowellWasRight, who steadfastly refuses the condemn the BNP that uses his screen name as a catchphrase for its racism.
