Is Theresa May the political heir of the odious racist Enoch Powell?

In the last few weeks I've been delving deep into Parliamentary discussions from the late 1969s and early 1970s about the possibility of the United Kingdom joining what was then the European Economic Communities.

I'm struck by how similar Theresa May's views now are to those of the odious racist Enoch Powell.

I plan to blog in more detail how Theresa May's views parallel those of Enoch Powell.

Perhaps that will closely follow her Brexit speech scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

I find it hugely worrying that a British Prime Minister in 2017 is so close in her views to an acknowleged racist politician of forty or fifty years ago.
