(8 Jun 1976) STORY
Coloured immigration has once again moved into the forefront of British politics with the leak of a confidential government report stating that there are widespread abuses of the immigration laws and that the number of people waiting to come to Britain is virtually infinite. The report was used by MP Enoch Powell to repeat his dire warning about the future course of race relations in Britain. The extreme right-wing National Front has also staged more demonstrations against coloured immigration. This film reviews the immigration arguments, includes interview with immigrant leaders and British politicians and looks at points of racial tension in Britain.

Film: Rev – Sound: Mag/SOF – Colour– Available in HD

    Quaint, but now it's 100 times worse. WE WERE NEVER ASKED.

    It is absolutely astonishing to watch this and Powel’s parliamentary speech in March,1980, through today’s lense.

    I don't mind a few and generally get on well with them but I am sick of seeing the prefferential treatment they recieve.
  • @markaldridge389
    I don't think Enoch is speaking with any hate. He is just telling the truth.
  • Don't like the way Polish people bully English who work in factories, have had personal experience and know of others who have been bullied

    All I’ll say is the indigenous people are having the country colonised and this film shows the early wave of colonisers. The indigenous population are are a minority in London and Birmingham….

    Enoch Powell was right. Such a insightful, articulate visionary. I thought him a crank and racist but think his words ring true today.

    Tolerance will always lead to the minority abusing ones goodwill.
  • @landan4924
    Immigrants didn't make their countries of origin better, so how do we expect them to make our countries better?...
