In 1992, Enoch Powell, a controversial British politician known for his 1968 “Rivers of Blood” speech on immigration, retired from politics. He had served as an MP for both the Conservative and Ulster Unionist parties. Though an intellectual and classical scholar, his views on immigration and British identity sparked widespread debate and criticism. By 1992, Powell’s influence had waned, but his legacy remained polarising, reflecting deep divisions in British society over race, nationalism, and integration.
