11/04/2007: "Politician quits but does not apologize for praising fascist"

The Tory parliamentary candidate who declared that Enoch Powell was "right" on immigration resigned last night.

Nigel Hastilow was summoned for an emergency meeting by party chiefs where he refused to apologise for his comments.

Mr Hastilow wrote: "When you ask most people in the Black Country what the single biggest problem facing the country is, most say immigration. Many insist 'Enoch Powell was right'. Enoch, once MP for Wolverhampton South-West, was sacked from the Conservative front bench and marginalised politically for his 1968 rivers of blood speech, warning that uncontrolled immigration would change our country irrevocably.

"He was right. It has changed dramatically."

[ Public pretense says we can't affirm reality, so we lie, and take revenge on those who tell truth. That's no way to run a society. ]
