Enoch Powell - 'Rivers Of Blood' Speech (1968)

“As I Look Ahead, I Am Filled With Foreboding; Like The Roman, I Seem To See ‘The River Tiber Foaming With Much Blood.’”

Enoch Powell’s Passionate ‘Rivers Of Blood’ Speech About The Concept Of Integration And How He Felt About British Tradition Being Eroded Had A Deep Impact Upon Society At The Time It Was Made And In Modern Times.

The Speech Caused A Political Storm, Powell Argued That Although “Many Thousands” Of Immigrants Wanted To Integrate, He Contended That The Majority Did Not And That Some Had Vested Interests In Fostering Racial And Religious Differences “With A View To The Exercise Of Actual Domination, First Over Fellow-Immigrants And Then Over The Rest Of The Population”.

John Enoch Powell MBE (16 June 1912 – 8 February 1998) Was A British Politician, Classical Scholar, Author, Linguist, Soldier, Philologist, And Poet.
