It was on April 20th 1968 that Enoch Powell became the first establishment politician to warn the nation of the perils of mass immigration, and for which he was vilified and persecuted by the liberal-left establishment as well as his own party. Other minor figures had previously tried to warn the nation, as in the following passage from a small, duplicated publication of April 1955.

“With the possible exception of the harnessing of nuclear energy for weapons of war, the political awakening of the Coloured races of Asia and Africa is transcending all other socio-political problems of this age. Accompanying this awakening, is the gradual infiltration of Europe – Britain and France in particular – by Coloured people.

“Should Western opinion continue to face this problem with the old concept of ‘equality of man’. It will not be long before Europe as a racial entity ceases to exist, and with it the highly developed civilisation that Europe has given to the world.

“Here in Britain we are made daily aware of the increasing resistance that this Coloured influx is meeting, whether it be from busmen or hospital workers who are striking because they fear that the standards their Trade Unions have obtained for them will be undermined by Coloured labour, or from hotel landlords who reserve rooms for their White customers only – as the writer has seen done in reverse in hotels and clubs in India.

“Whilst this paper opposes the belief that all men are equal, we do not on the other hand contend that biologically any one race is superior to another. The fact is we are all different! “If we are to conserve our country as a European nation, all further Coloured immigration – except for the genuine student – must be halted now before it is too late. There is little point in creating a race problem where one does not exist.”

When I wrote the above in my early publication, National Unity, all those years ago I secretly hoped that the Conservative Party would see sense and stop that “race problem” becoming a reality. But like the other old parties, they sold the pass, and ignored the people’s wishes. I may feel bitter and hold those Tories in contempt, but I have not lost faith that at five minutes to midnight the BNP can still do something to save our race and nation.
