The idea Enoch Powell was a “racist villain” is “absolute nonsense”, UKIP Wales leader Neil Hamilton has said. The AM was defending Powell’s anti-immigration “rivers of blood” speech of 50 years ago. He told BBC Radio Wales the former Tory MP had been “proved right by events” in terms of social change if not violence. Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood accused Mr Hamilton of “keeping Powell’s racist rhetoric going” while Labour AM Hefin David called his comments “outrageous”. It comes after Labour peer and former Welsh secretary Lord Hain said he had heard echoes of the “clearly racist” speech in Wales during the EU referendum. The Politicians of this country have let the people down, and what is worse, they have become aware of it, and continue it. Enoch Powell was Correct, the Violence hasn’t come yet, and I so hope it doesn’t. But if the Politicians do not support the Masses, the People will eventually Revolt.
