Enoch Powell's point was that it would be a very bad thing. Therefore, to try and say Enoch Powell was right is to criticise that of how Britain is today by blaming it on the ethnic minorities. </BLOCKQUOTE>I think the point he was trying to make was that uncontrolled immigration is a real and live event.

Enoch was quite clearly right. Hence the Immigration Act 1971.

But no one was ever allowed to say he was right, because that'd make you one of they racists.

No problems with immigrants who integrate. Those who don't are a disaster. I've integrated, btw.
