Rivers of blood?
The following is a guest post by the Rev Dr Peter Mullen, Hon. Chaplain of The Freedom Association.
The former Chief Rabbi, Dr Jonathan Sacks, has compared Jeremy Corbyn’s remarks about Jews to Enoch Powell’s so called “rivers of blood” speech of 20th April 1968. Dr Sacks says Corbyn’s words were “divisive and hateful like Powell’s speech” and he accuses both men of “…undermining the existence of an entire group of British citizens by depicting them as alien.”
No plaque for Enoch
The following is a guest post by the Rev Dr Peter Mullen, Hon. Chaplain of The Freedom Association.
The Rt Rev’d Clive Gregory and the Rt Rev’d Michael Ipgrave have embarked on a project inept and mean-spirited even by the debased standards of our politicised episcopate. The Bishop of Wolverhampton and the Bishop of Lichfield have signed a petition got up by Black Country Stand Up To Racism to oppose the proposal to erect a commemorative plaque to Enoch Powell in Wolverhampton – Mr Powell’s parliamentary constituency from 1950 to 1974.
