We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependants, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried persons to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancées whom they have never seen. Enoch Powell, speech 20th April 1968
As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman I seem to see ‘the River Tiber foaming with much blood’. ibid.

I would like to see a time when man loves his fellow man and forgets his colour of his creed. We will never be civilized until that time comes. I know the Negro race has a long road to go. I believe that the life of the Negro race has been a life of tragedy, of injustice, of oppression. The law has made him equal, but man has not. Clarence Darrow, 1857-1938, speech 19th May 1926
You’re just some racist who can’t tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man. Thomas Henry Huxley
Race! It is a feeling, not a reality. 95% at least is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today. Amusingly enough not one of those who have proclaimed the nobility of the Teutonic race was himself a Teuton. Benito Mussolini
But which race? Does there exist a German race? Has it ever existed? Will it ever exist? Reality, myth, or hoax of the theorists? Ah well, we respond, a Germanic race does not exist. Various movements. Curiosity. Stupor. We repeat. Does not exist. We don’t say so. Scientists say so. Hitler says so. Benito Mussolini
The general English populace has no idea of the Jewish danger ... Our worst Jews only operate behind the scenes ... We look forward to the day when we can say with force and authority: England for the English! Jews get out! Unity Mitford, open letter

[Margaret Thatcher taps newspaper: Bongo Bongo Bust-Up! Racist slur by Tories’ job chief] ‘We’ve got to get rid of Clark. He’s a complete Norris.
