If we don't face the past then we will never face the future.

I believe the BBC is right to air Enoch Powell's speech,to show how we are going backwards,to show how the very speech that was demonised for so many decades has now become the rhetoric of our newspapers and the right wing. How in the last few years we have become just like him, xenophobic and with delusions of grandeur. The speech repulsed so many back then that it became a model of how we should not be. He was proven wrong, and the UK would not have prospered without the influx of Commonwealth citizens who came and worked and helped to build modern Britain.
Play it again,let his words sink in, and then let's once again do the opposite.
