Has anyone here read the rivers of blood speech?

Has anyone read it in its entirety?

Most people just say old EP was right, without knowing what was actually said or whether it was true.

Yes i have read it fully.

A most interesting piece full of correct prophesy, very thought provoking, i recommend anyone to look it up and digest it.

Unfortunately for Powell he used some silly words and phrases that whilst being the norm in his former life, were horrible unacceptable terms even in those days to be used in Britain.

He scored an own goal there and handed his opponents the very weapons to beat him with, i believe it cost him the possible leadership of the party and ultimately the probable leadership of the country.

Unfortunately Powell was a realistic honest and thoroughly honourable man who made a grave error of judgement whilst telling the honest truth, he stood head and shoulders over the self seeking money grubbing career politicians we’ve had the misfortune to have foisted on us since.

We shan’t see his like again, i doubt half of the current bunch could spell honour or integrity let alone hope to rise to the meaning.

Wake up & smell the java people, things are the way they are because we, the voter, have let it get this way. We have put into power a group of people who have had no experience of what we would call normal work. Politicians used to go into politics after a career, now it is a career. They have shown themselves on many occasions to be unfit for public office yet we still put them in. If we committed half the things they get up to we would be fired on the spot or jailed, these self regulators move sideways only to pop up in another job later. The ones at the bottom are busy lining pockets and the top ones are too busy looking for the “legacy” they will leave.
No foreigners will leave while they are looked after. Fact. We can look forward to higher fuel prices. Fact. This countries people will continue to be bent over and done dry. Fact. The sooner this country wakes up from its booze/ drug induced lethargy the better.

But who or what are the alternatives, none of them seem to have an ounce of savvy, how come Joe Public can see whats happening but those blinkered idiots cant.
