This is the first time I have heard of this, and I watch the news frequently.

I heard about it on BBC radio WM this afternoon, trt.

Probably kept it off the main TV News tonyav in case it encouraged other people to do the same.

Enoch Powell was a man gifted with great foresight and intelligence. H e would be too gracious to smugly declare, "I told you so" to the left wing who labelled him a racist crank. After all he hadn't set a time limit when the rivers of blood would flow due to excessive immigration policies. Sadly, it appears, the chickens come home to roost. i.e. Paris, Birmingham ? where next I wonder.

Having read the headline of my link "BBC Local Live: Birmingham & the Black Country"

I wondered, how long it will be before this historical description will no longer be acceptable?

It may well become a Factual Description AOG given time

We have our own flag - black by day and red by night

I fear we are soon to be gobbled up in to a 'Greater Birmingham' which will be a great shame as far as I'm concerned. Give us back our shires!

As for the damage to the shops this horrible incident occurred in one road only and has not spread all over Birmingham. Hopefully it will not escalate.

Blimey hc when I saw the flag I though it had gone further than I anticipated and the chains denoted slavery.

Now, now, AOG. We have a proud history of chain making.

Enoch Powell spent the latter years of his political career as MP for South Down, where he would have seen at close hand the consequences of a society divided not by immigration and he would have had to admit I think that violence in NI far exceeded anything he predicted at the time.
I predict all sorts of things but my get out clause is that I set no time boundary on my predictions: I can always claim it has 'yet to happen'
In fairness Enoch P was probably too clever a man (he did after all leave the Tories for Labour :-) ) not to admit that he'd had his allotted time span for the Tiber prediction several times over :-)
