Tory MP claims Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech was right Sir Gerald Howarth claims that immigrants of a 'non-Christian faith' have presented a 'challenge' to British society.
A veteran Conservative MP has claimed that Enoch Powell was right to warn against immigration in his controversial "rivers of blood" speech.
Sir Gerald Howarth, a former defence minister, said that the Tory MP was correct in saying that the influx of immigrants of a "non-Christian" faith has presented a "challenge" to British society.
In a letter to a constituent, Sir Gerald said that the Trojan Horse plot in which extremists attempted to take over schools in Birmingham highlighted the problems.
