Ah, stoopid naive me.
Bloody hell, didn't know about this.
So was Powell a bit of an 'embarrassment' then?
Did they 'regretfully' get rid?
Afterall someone sanctioned this ( the '64 leaflet), or maybe not.
Maybe politics hadn't got its head round pr in those days.
EDIT: What I mean is perhaps he was reflecting the mood of more or less the whole bloody party. Powell just made it more obvious and nation wide. Here's me giving them a bit credit too.

Reading the manifesto's and studying the policies of the Conservatives (they are NOT tories... Tories have not existed since the Whigs existed... "Tory" is a misnomer) over the last 3 decades will reveal a cunning and subtlely-veiled Xenophobia and closet-racism/class-ism; a willingness, if you will, to deny and/or ignore people who are struggling.

Aye... Same as the UK press have jumped on the BS about the EU dictating the shape of bananas (utter bollocks)
Or the local councils *forced* to remove nativity displays to appease Muslim community (utter bollocks - it never happened)
Or local authorities banning the term Christmas or even Xmas to appease the muslims community (utter bollocks - never happened)
Or Muslims asking community (religious) leaders to remove xtian iconography from Easter (utter bollocks - it never happened)
BAN FUCKING NEWSPAPERS! lol
Incidentally - has anyone ever fucked a newspaper? (*_*)

I think 'tory' is a great word for em though, think it means 'thief' in Irish or Scottish gaelic.

and? are you saying we should spend more time on black over white issues, per month? this is nonsense. Please be clear in your posts...you are communicating with a multicultural, multi-politico audience (ok, I think I made the last but one word up).

I agree with you measured approach. As you have mentioned Powell, I have to say that I have always thought his infamous speech more reflected the concerns he was receiveing from his constituents on imigration...than anything else.
I read it again tonight...

What on earth are you talking about? Where did I even imply anything remotely close to that?
The question was put to me (albeit second-hand): "Why don't we have a White History month?" My response (and this is, in my view, a rather uncontroversial point) was simply that "history", as it is generally taught in Europe and America, is almost exclusively the history of -- and from the perspective of -- white Europeans. So the notion of a White History Month is entirely redundant.
It's worth pointing out that my response made no value judgments and didn't recommend we spend more time "per month" on any particular issue or set of issues. I made a cultural observation. You then took my observation, built yourself a straw man out of it, and proceeded to argue with him.
Well, whatever turns you on I suppose.

Pretty much what Grufty Jim said. There is no need for a 'White History Month' as there is no lack of 'white history' teaching.It would addressing a problem that doesn't exist.
