Anybody Watched,  Mr. Enoch Powell and his Speech Tonight ?? -- I found it 'rivetting'!! -- There was a man with some 'Foresight' but never lived to see just how right he was!!

Mac, Yes!! I think that is the reason. No one is saying that He was perfect?? -- Nobody is!!-- It is certainly Not common for anyone to have such 'foresite'-- Consequently!! He was a very brilliant man!! -- Wish we had More like him?? Possibly, there would not be so many problems?? ---
 Prevention is far better than Cure (or trying to)

There certainly are No great Men or Women of Today, as 'they' all seem to sit on the fence 

Hello Mac, Possibly because He looked at the situation, in a different light?? -- He had a vision, of just how 'things' would develope in 1/2 decades -- He was quite Right!! -- Can You think of anyone else, that would stand up and 'Project' what the Future would bring?? I Cannot!!
Why do 'those' persons feel so 'terrible' that it is a Major Crime to be Wrong ?? Everybody is Human and we all make mistakes -- just a part of Life!! -- How about His 'Boss' Taking us into The E.E.U in 1972 ?? ---
 What a Shambles?? Heath by name, and bog heath by nature??
 36 years later and just what progress has been made??
 I wish that I could find,some difference between them all, I Just Cannot 

I heard about that phoenix who was it that was giving the abuse I thought it was the brits in their hoodies ?

Our Country is in a mess because we British are largely a politically docile nation, immigrants/asylum seekers/the homeless, single parents mothers, are not to blame, these people are merely being used as scapegoats for a dilapidated
system.

Since Margaret Thatcher's era, Britain has adhered to market forces and profiteering, these policies have left us without council housing, and as a result house prices have soared.

The role of the British state has been allowed to erode, in favour of Britain's Communities being devolved from central Government funding via national income tax, onto local council tax which was initially poll tax.

Income tax no longer increases to fund our local services UK wide, local council tax does, and it hits the poorest people in our communities the hardest, namely the elderly, and the low waged.

Our leading politicians have got it made while we all stand as a nation and say, and do, nothing, and even if we were to stand and be counted, while we moan and blame those on the fringes of our Society, because we cannot "think" any further than that, our policians again are laughing their heads of, at us, because devide and conquer is the oldest political trick in the book.

Hi Phoenix,  Yes I agree, and ive been up to my neck in pensioners issues for 20 years, up against the media, the press, and public apathy, all rolled into one, and the most apathetic in my experience are the richer pensioners to their poorer counterparts, there is that kind of Thatcher arrogance, dismissive, typically British, centred on class, is it any wonder we have the politicians we do, some people just cannot see themselves.

Mac that wouldn't be just - at least in Germany - some pay more in the pension institution when they are working and others less.
