Enoch Powell's speech was about "blackmen" no mention of east europeans or asians.. it was totally colour predudice.
What happend to the Lib-Dem manifesto that included an amnesty for all illegall immigrants that had lived here for over ten years?.. I did not agree with it but all of a sudden it's gone.
Cameron yaps on about controlling illegals at the same time he makes massive cuts in the border control police.. the border control these don't just run around in speedboats.. they are active in finding illegals in work places and those claiming benifits and yet the tories cut the workforce.. Cameron and his mob are spinning ..and digging this country into a deeper hole than we were in 2yrs ago.

i agree wi most of that, but disagree wi yer view on Powells speech, whilst these days it would be viewed by many as colour prejudice, that was a different era,don't forget Powell was a guy who went oer to the Caribbean in the 50s, inviting em to come oer, fer work on london buses/underground etc, was very few eastern europeans back then,apart from those who settled after WW2 n integrated, His speech was all about - we are reaching the limit,saturation etc, that was 40 odd yrs ago, it seems funny its taken that long fer the penny to drop! nowt to do wi colour prejudice, more to do wi common sense.
