- It's 50 years since Enoch Powell's infamous 'Rivers of Blood' speech, warning that Britain was under threat from mass immigration.
Sky's Political Correspondent, Lewis Goodall, has spent time in Powell's former constituency of Wolverhampton to see what kind of impact the speech still has today.

Enoch's not turning in his grave, he's just lying there thinking 'I told them so'.
And he was right too. Shame they never listened. But they were never going to anyway, just like now
And what is the name of the black man who would have the whip over the white man?
we were never asked
Exactly. It was imposed on us. I think the wrong side won the war to be honest
No brother, we were told.

"Democracy" means rule by societies dregs. Plato covers it elequently in "The Republic", 2400 years ago.
Enoch Powell one of the greatest man to ever walk the earth.
Please kindly elaborate. Keen to know more ...
do your own research.
@Jupiter, yes, I recall seeing that book on someone’s bookshelf a few years ago. I hope y’all “get your country back” from us filthy foreigners 🌏
Totally agree why can't we get a pm with balls of steel like nigel farage or richard tice to sort our problems out
Ahh the right wing conspiracy nut jobs favourite line.
“Do your own research”
He was 100% correct.
And it’s only getting worse.
Braveheart Physique that's why the areas that had the least immigration voted for brexit.
Yep, definitely happening now.

The Native British people move to places where they can live in a native British society & they can count & follow demographic trends.
Peoples are different; a British Isles populated by Indian Subcontinentals, MENAs, SubSaharans & South East Asians cannot be societies of the Islands Native Peoples and close relations.
Just Look at London, Leicester, Birmingham & Luton now.
Braveheart Physique racist nonce
@jon tyler And their gene pool is very much needing some outside input.
@@Mageroeth They are also the poorest.
he was correct
He was right though wasn’t he
Why did they use a immigrants to read the speach
mrarcher857 shut up
it has mor impact to realise that it is really painfully bad disaster n
Virtue signalling
It's called propaganda. In an era with such a learned populace, where such things are so widely understood and studied, the fact they still did it anyway is nothing short of evil.
He was absolutely spot on. What a third world dumping ground this country had become. It's a disgrace
@Sean Wood
''Their neighbourhood will change beyond all recognition'' Born in East London year of speech....now look at it.Enoch was a visionary.
Boleyn Boy we shouldn’t have invaded every country
@Sakkra101 Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Malaisia etc Those poor pathetic countries destroyed by those monsterous Brits and their cruel policies of law, democracy, fresh running water, agricultural expertise, railway building, antibiotics...
@@vordman Singapore = Asia. Asia was civilised long before the UK. The Chinese could read and write 5000 years ago. Australia and NZ were discovered by the Dutch, Had Cook not planted the flag the Dutch would have turned the Antipodes into Dutch colonies. All the inventions of the west would have happened regardless. Can't take credit for "civilising the Antipodes." Colonised is the better description. And it came at great cost to the native populations. The brits were not good Colonists.
@Sakkra101 csa?
@@vordman tell that to the indigenous peoples in those countries.
He was a visionary, and correct.
theres a french novel from 1973 called 'camp of the saints' its about a huge wave of desperate 3rd world people landing on the shores of europe and the subsequent decay of european civilization.
easyglide racist
George Thompson IDIOT
Absolutely
He was absolutely correct. The mainstream media says the pressure on our country is down to us indigenous white British folks living longer now.
Neither is correct, the biggest problem with our amazing NHS is the disgraceful state of the nations health.
About a 1/4 or 16 million critically Obese, alcohol as way of live , crap diet , recreational drug use and sedentary life styles are crippling the health services. 90'000 people are admitted to NHS England hospitals every single month , that's 3000 a day or 125 an hour with a primary cause of obesity 😫 not to mention the 1.5 million alcoholics or the 3 million diabetics all soaking up huge resources. The immigrants are but a tiny fraction of the problem.
@@The-General36
No. Its because of overpopulation through immigration. The NHS is a finite resource. It can't treat an infinite number of patients. Its also wrong to take doctors and nurses from other countries too. Those other countries need their doctors and nurses. The left are modern day slavers though. They love to take foreign people away from their countries of origin to use as a workforce here in the uk. Its gross and disgusting.
I had to go to A&E last year. The waiting room was wall to wall with people. Less than half of them were English.
Enoch has been vindicated by time.
He has. I'll definitely say so
czcams.com/video/_w-7p0mX2_o/video.html
And he was right. He saw into the future.
the man 100% right
he was an honest man and time has proved him right
At 02:40 as we see the street is a crap hole full of garbage, what a mess.
Labour look from Enoch to Dianne Abbott and call it 'progress'.
And that's why they're going extinct.
Blimey, some "progress" eh wtf
She looks like a prehistoric human
@@Dominic-fd2wz so did thatcher
Best prime minister we never had
Theres one like him in power now. And look at the mess as a result. Had Enoch Powell been PM, the UK would have become a third world county decades ago,. he had no economic policies, no negotiation skills, no long term vision and no leadership. He was a mere populist. A primitive politician. A man with basic thought.
Boris is no comparison whatsoever to Enoch, Boris is portrayed like him by the MSM but is just a puppet like every other modern politician, Enoch Powell wasn't, hence his demise from politics.
@@pauly71 Enoch Powell was his own worst enemy.
@@philster611-ih8te he might have been his own worst enemy at the time but look at his legacy, his predictions became true.
@@philster611-ih8tehe was a genius, & we need him now more than ever, everything he said came true, & in my house he was allways & allways will be a hero,
Enoch Powell was a visionary and a realist, let's be honest, he was bang on the button. Racisms has nothing to do with it. England would be a better and safer place to live today, if they listened to him back then.
He was so obviously correct though
Immigration only happened because anglo saxons went to Australia. If they didnt go, we wouldnt have needed immigration.
The comments and like to dislike ratio speak for themselves.
ᴡ ʜ ɪ ᴛ ᴇ ᴍ ᴀ ɴ nope just racist old men

@@HypervoxelRBX Xenophobes don't have much ion the way of brainpower in the first place.
Yeah, CZcams’s filled with racists
@@JanSanono Begone regime puppet, Europe belongs to Europeans.
I'm not sure exactly when this video was made. But it is so obvious Enoch Powell was exactly right. National identity and cohesiveness is not bigotry. Importing millions of people who have no emotional attachment to your country, may even in fact despise it, is suicide.
The guy was bang on... simples. He wasn't a racist, he spoke the truth. Now it's happening tenfold...
Why the hell didn't this country listen to Enoch Powell? He was right about immigration, and he was right about what became the EU. The grief we could have spared ourselves.
so true ! look at the millions who have invaded this once beautiful country
Prophetic and correct
Sadly he turned out to be correct
He was right and always will be.
Enoch was right , the fools can now eat their words it’s 2020 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.
And how right this great man was .
If only they'd listened.
Well now in 2023 .HOW RIGHT HE WAS..I for one do not like what I see now in my country…..WE ARE IN REAL TROUBLE and there is no doubt about it he was 100% right……It has now all come true…..
Shame no one heeded his warnings
Oh people did, many people did. 88% of the population agreed with him. But for some reason he was ignored
Modern Britain has no place for the people this country was founded upon, the white Anglo Saxon Protestant. Enochs words have proven to be prophetic
50 years later he’s right
a true British patriot . he loved a multicultural world and he loved a Britain with traditional values . he will be sitting with god looking down saying i told them so !
I heard a lot of his speechs live and also gave him a lift in my car after a speech he gave in Market Drayton, HE WAS HIS OWN MAN AS HE PROVED WHEN HE CONDEMED the Hola camp atrocities. HIS VISION OF THE FUTURE HAS NOW COME TRUE. which is why people say every day "ENOCH WAS RIGHT"
He was true Enoch there Enoch here Enoch everywhere
Even the cat is Enoch.
Strange but true eco states like Japan where only 2pc are non Japanese do better. Their economy is stronger, people work hard and pull together. They all have unity ...it's hard to mix a cocktail using incompatible ingredients. Britain will lose its identity, already has, if there was another war no one would fight for this country with the same pride that they had in the last war.
And he was right. What did he say in that speech that isn't now true??
I absolutely despise racism. However, I am deeply concerned about the obliteration of the
indigenous British people from it's traditional values and cultural heritage.
Thank god I'm in my 60s. Enoch warned us, and our corrupt evil Government has caused this country to change, and allow our culture to change to what we will have to succumb to eventually. So sad. 😟😟
As a 19 year old, i dont see the point anymore. The country is already fcked as it is, let alone in 50 years. I want out.
A government voted into power whichever they were by people who knew immigration was the policy of those parties.
They voted for it! And still will.
Bill-B.N.P.
The man was a prophet and deserves to be remembered as such
He was bloody right everything was true
As an East African Asian and Goan, I completely agree with the 'Rivers Of Blood' speech. For, many from my wave of immigrants settled in Leicester, creating ghettos and driving out the indigenous people. Today the third generation have nothing in common with Whites, have never visited an English household and know more about their grandfathers village in India then the one next door.
Now both the Race Card and their concentration of numbers means that immigrants have the 'Whip Hand' over the Englishman. For the Race Card has been deployed by the West Indian community to destroy British policing. Our electoral system, means that a community only has to get a small but significant number of their people to the polling booth, in order to win a seat at Westminster. Most Black and Asian MP's are therefore nakedly partisan, even when there exists a conflict between the norms of our civilisation and their culture.
Today 23 out off 33 London Boroughs have a white minority, in which neighbourhoods are split along the lines of race.
Englands future will evolve to one in which each region of the country and neighbourhood will have its own racial identity. This will be remarkably similar to the system of apartheid in South Africa.
Enoch will go down in history as one of the greatest statesmen ever.
All countries evolve, apparently Enoch wasn’t smart enough to understand that...
@@beyourself2444 Sure evolving to a third world country
Great comment
I see how south Asians look down on the blacks in England... calling them the same names the white English people did, and still do to this day.
@@beyourself2444 Evolution happens naturally, mass immigration is a distortion of nature, with disastrous results. Our population and demographics are changing too fast, it is destabilising the country and it could bankrupt us and destroy our culture.
The presenter calls him a bigot and then in the very next sentence says he wanted a debate on immigration.
M A S S D E P O R T A T I O N S
Of whom?
YES!
@@MaxKropiunikMUSLIMS!!!
He was absolutely right, white British people are second class citizens, I’m not pure English myself but I can see that.
And how right he was what a shame the politicians have done to this country
He's correct, as an Asian man born here, I've made a point to live by the values of being a yorkshirman which I am. What Enoch meant which people who are too woke failed to understand is that we risk losing our national identity
Enoch wasn’t wrong was he ??? As far as I’m concerned he told a truthful future prediction !!! This country is finished !!!!!
Not finished the truth is we need to move in with the times for the better Britain multiculturalism learn to love blacks get to know each other not despise each other.
I'm french and when i see how my British brothers country is going, i can only agree with Enoch Powell.
Europe Arise ! ✋
What would he say today?
Enoch Powell wasnt a racist, a term which he referred to as a form of abuse due to its broad definition. Rather, he rightly saw, that uncontrolled immigration would lead to to tension and he feared, even conflict between communities. Its interesting that this same problem is playing out in South Africa, where uncontrolled migrants have flooded our cities. This has resulted in very serious and violent reactions from the local population.
We were never asked
Enoch Powell, now iconic, representing legitimate strong character, profound intellect, and resoluteness, made even more stark and obvious now in this shallow era of Wokeism.
Where individuality, speaking ones mind, having an alternative opinion is pounced upon and vilified.
Great characters are required in humanity, for weak peoples to hide behind, be anonymous and feel secure, that someone else is in the spotlight, taking the flack!
RIP Enoch
How right was he and yet no one listened. Look at the state of Britain now!
He was 100% correct.
Atleast they kept the comments section open.
He was right about immigration and he was right about E U .
boy was he right!
Hatchet Job.
We. Were. Never. Asked!
Enoch Powell was so right. The situation is far worse than he ever envisaged. Agreed with him then agree with him now
A political giant! Surrounded by ignorance,,
"It split the country down the middle."
It absolutely did not. Polls taken after the speech showed that almost 85% of respondents agreed with Powell.
History has proven him, and that speech, entirely correct.
Remember this is a Sky documentary very one sided and guess what side ?
Very honest man who was looking after his own country.
I met Enoch Powell in 1988. However as I was only eight years old the political discourse was limited...
sad, should’ve listened to him
A greatly maligned ,far sighted man,
As an irish man that guy was on the ball
Even though he was talking about the black man. In 15 or 20 year time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man
Look at the state of western Europe today like him or hate him Enoch was right
Take a look at London now and it's hard to see there wasn't an element of truth to what enoch was saying
God if they could see how bad the uk is now
Why do liberals keep equating immigration discussion with racism. Its about values. There are different values systems around the world. Trying to smash them altogether is hard and dilutes the culture. This country has been a Christian country for thousands of years, now we have a Hindu prime minister. Imagine a British Priminister of India....they would t have it. Yes empire took from india, but today it would not happen. Why do we let it happen in uk
And now his message resonates with more people now than ever.
We should have listened.
Why do most posts by news agencies unlike this one disable comments? Are they afraid of peoples opinions?
Best speech ever
The man was right.
Upon reading the various comments on this speech and similar youtube videos, I'm surprised at the universal support for wanting to stem immigration. I often wonder why such people do not seem to be represented on live television debates. This surely undemocratic and ignoring the wishes of the British public!
@@mrgorbygorby4137 Perhaps, but surely the question that should be being asked is WHY?
Because they want to pretend UK is not racist.
RIP England
He was ridiculed as being a crazy over zealous crank, yet he UNDERESTIMATED how bad it actually became, he was vindicated and then some!
Looks like he was right, we’re into the last years of the UK
Okay I wouldn’t say last years of the uk but last years of mass English culture maybe
@@avus-kw2f213 NI will within 5 years it’s currently in turmoil and there’s no parties in mainland UK that give them political support. Scotland also has made considerable efforts towards leaving with little retort from unionists
Glad I'm over my 3 score and into my 10 ,I'm disgusted what Britain has become,
Does anyone still think he was wrong?
Look who's running England scotland today 😮

Decades before his time
Powell was brilliant. The UK will disappear.
Enoch was a man of the world, he saw Hitler and hated it, he just understood that the values system of many immigrants were not like ours.
2023. He didn't change anything at all! He Underestimated the Numbers. Scared My A**!
What a hatchet piece.
In spite of those challenges UK has coped fairly well with a change of it's demographic and post colonial effect. Good to see small market towns across the land thriving off of this diversity in a multicultural environment.

The most 77th brigade comment i've seen all week, congratulations user fc5vg9fk5g
This report differs vastly from the admirably neutral BBC report on the ROD anniversary.
That says masses about Sky's coverage.
I get frustrated that ‘populist’ appears to be regarded as negative description. Populist definition ‘a person, especially a politician, who strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups’……is that why we vote?
Powell was utterly brilliant and would have been a great PM
These days people more freedom than ever. Yet “changing” one’s nationality is not a fundamental human right.
How right was he, but the news nothing to see here
Enoch Powell did nothing wrong
Rest in Peace Enoch Powell.
