Rumble in Brum

It's almost exactly a month after Trevor Phillips, the head of the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), echoed the sentiments of the late Enoch Powell, suggesting that current levels of immigration will lead to ghettoisation and that our country is in danger of "sleepwalking into apartheid".

An unfortunate coincidence for Powell was that he made his controversial 'rivers of blood' speech on the anniversary of Adolph Hitler's birthday. Philip's remarks also are unfortunate as it was Hitler who claimed to "go the way that Providence dictates for me with all the assurance of a sleepwalker".

Philips may have spent the best part of his career denouncing Powell as a racist and a bigot, but when it comes to recognising that society's ability to successfully absorb migrants is dependent upon the rate at which they come - it turns out Enoch was right.

Phillips recently publicly denounced the CRE's previously underlying principle of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism was the stick with which equality wytch-fynders such as the CRE beat anyone that dared to question the accepted belief in un-fettered inward migration. It is now clear that previously taboo subjects such as 'saturation rates', 'assimilation', and 'ghettoisation' are no longer the ramblings of the paranoid right, they are the key to avoiding a divided and segregated society.

Powell's home town of Birmingham is currently ravaged by race riots between Black and Asian youths. These communities represent the ghettoised and segregated consequences of immigration without integration that Enoch feared and Trevor Phillips alluded to in his 'sleepwalking' speech at Manchester a month ago.
