GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Pop Goes The Folk Singer (338* d) RE: Pop Goes The Folk Singer 30 Apr 08


Ron, from my reading, the issue of immigration, and should and who shouldn't be allowed into England, is one that has been on going for more years that I'd care to count, certainly longer than I've been alive. My father has related tales to me the events of which, took place in, in this particular case, Birmingham. One in particular, I recall, of my father and a friend of his attending a rally at which the arch British racist Enoch Powell spoke. As you can imagine, the heckling was on-going and very loud, anyway, this friend of my father's was dragged out of the assembly room by Powell's goons and beaten very severely, spending, as a result, two weeks in hospital. I believe Billy Bragg has a couple of similar tales in his book The Progressive Patriot...nothing changes.
