Rivers of Blood & Brexit
Hey everyone,
For the video, I've put a link to Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech. There's not a lot of footage, so maybe we can use parts as audio for our film. But I'll try to find a better vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix_7p1qczXs
Enoch Powell was a Conservative MP and made the speech in Birmingham 1968. It led to a lot of controversy as he talked about mass immigration, the EU and race.
Here's an interesting article about the speech and relating it to Brexit as the same rhetoric was used in the EU referendum leave campaign https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/16/enoch-powell-rivers-of-blood-speech-brexit-right
And also here's a clip of Nigel Farage talking about Powell and immigration https://youtu.be/Fvn6tpo0-vI
