In deed, and whatever we think there was great popular support for his more extreme views - feels like history is repeating itself. However, really interested in the title of the thread. -
Enock Powell certainly was demonised after making a speech in 1968. In many ways it was out of character. His was a most interesting character and arguably one of the most highly intelligent person to enter parliament.

Mistakes do get made, but she's given little credence to other's 'mistakes' in the past and called for resignations. Let's just hope the enquiry gets published soon. There are a lot more important things to be getting on with.
