Britain is less strong as a nation state than it was half a century ago when Powell made his infamous speech
Conservative Party politician Enoch Powell speaks at the Conservative Party Conference in Brighton in 1969
Powell was thrown out of the shadow cabinet by the Conservative leader Edward Heath who denounced the speech as “racialist in tone and liable to exacerbate racial tensions.” Protest marches took place for and against Powell, but his anti-immigrant stance probably played a role in the Conservatives’ surprise victory in the general election in 1970.
Heath sacked Powell, but Braverman’s text was approved by Downing Street. Hypocritically, Rishi Sunak refused to endorse her views publicly, though he clearly intends to milk “the small boats” issue for any political advantage he can gain from it.with the Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni published on Friday, they say that it is up to “nation states to decide who comes to Europe, not the smugglers and traffickers”.
Excuses for failure are plentiful: it costs nine times as much to build a kilometre of high speed track in Britain as it does in France, though nobody seems to quite know why this should be so. Experts explain there are no big experienced well financed British rail construction companies as there are in these other countries. Design requirements for high speed were excessive and a heavily populated country requires too many expensive tunnels.
