Old Tyrannia wrote:He made a very controversial speech about immigration for which he is widely remembered and with which I do not agree. He also helped create the National Health Service, abolish the death penalty and legalise homosexuality, was one of the few MPs to give a speech to Parliament condemning the Hola Massacre in 1959 (in his exact words, "In general, I would say that it is a fearful doctrine, which must recoil upon the heads of those who pronounce it, to stand in judgement on a fellow human being and to say, 'Because he was such-and-such, therefore the consequences which would otherwise flow from his death shall not flow'."), and actually called out one of his more racist supporters at a later rally for using the Nazi salute, having fought in World War II himself. I must reiterate, I disagree with Powell's thoughts on immigration, but I don't believe he was an "insane quasi-fascist racist" and in fact I admire him as a clever and principled politician who has been unfairly judged on just one regrettable speech.

I support a united Ireland at all costs and would gladly lay down my life for one and I do not agree with the killing of civilians but innocents must die in every war it's a very sad occurrence but it's what happens
