This week is the anniversary of one of the most resonant speeches made since the end of World War II. It still echoes down the decades, ringingly relevant to Western civilization, perhaps more today than ever.
At a meeting of Conservatives in Birmingham, England, on April 20, 1968, Enoch Powell warned of the peril of allowing mass immigration from alien and incompatible cultures. A scholar of classics, he wound up his peroration saying, “As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”
Link fixed!
