Western civilization is plagued with traitors who are cheerleaders for the destruction of the West. This assertion is not new, for British Member of Parliament Enoch Powell delivered his famous “Rivers of Blood” speech roughly four decades ago, and in his speech, he derided his countrymen for pursuing policies that served as a detriment to England.

Rumours surfaced earlier this year that Nigel Farage had been invited to join the Conservatives for a safe seat. I suspect that all bets are now off, assuming they were ever on, after the UKIP leader Enoch Powell in the latest edition of (article not online). Shame really. I always thought Farage would have made a good Europe Minister in a Tory government. Talking about the far-right,...

Enoch Powell may have exited this earthly coil some time back, but his name still has the power to propel politicians into paroxysms of rage or joy. This time around it’s UKIP leader Nigel Farage eulogising the former Conservative minister in the latest edition of Total Politics. Little surprise there. The leader of a small party, battling the BNP for right wing votes, invokes the image...

... became, in later life, a close friend of Ian Gilmour. I did, somehow, know that he was a friend of Enoch Powell’s, but it is surprising nevertheless, and what is particularly surprising is that they seem to have become friends, on Foot’s initiative, shortly after the “rivers of blood” speech (Radio 4 had a very good evaluation of Powell last year, during which the son of some...

You often hear people saying that we don't have great orators in Parliament anymore, the sort of speakers where people would rush into the Chamber to hear them speak. (Enoch Powell, Michael Foot, Aneurin Bevan). That's true, but there are a couple of new boys whose names appearing on the TV monitor in my office would at least make me flick channels so I can hear what they're saying. And...

... “All political careers end in failure,” said the British parliamentarian and classical scholar Enoch Powell. It is not a thought congenial to Americans. But of course, when we think harder about our great leaders, we see that they left big problems unsolved. George W. Bush’s critics, like Harry Truman’s as he prepared to leave office in 1952, seem to want him to admit he has failed....

“ Yet it is more truly when he looks into the eyes of Asia that the Englishman comes face to face with those who will dispute with him possession of his native land. ” Enoch Powell By Mister Fox To insinuate those of us who follow a traditional Conservative way and who lost thousands fighting Nazism to be maliciously called Nazis or Fascists is disrespectful and offensive.

An enterprising black club promoter, one Mr J, today said he was taking inspiration from Obama's victory and run a special club night for "nasty bigoted old Republicans who live in London". Taking his inspiration from Enoch Powell's famous speech, Mr J, told Damaged "We just wanted to create their worst nightmare as depicted by Mr Powell. It'll play to every prejudice and sterotype...

I've finally got round to reading the collection of Enoch Powell's essays on Christianity and the Church of England, No Easy Answers. In his opening passage on the Athanasian Creed, he seems to make a connection, albeit a very slight one, between the emergence and bloating of the welfare state with the decline of Christianity in Britain: Over and over again the Christ of the Gospels...

One of the key points I made in my “Can we give the white working classes what they want” speech at the Fabian event at the Labour Party conference was that a lot of middle class white commentators on this country - people like Rod Liddle for example - use the working classes to project their own bigotry. It’s that classic Enoch Powell syndrome - conjure up a conversation with some poor...
