In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with historian, author and House of Lords member Simon Heffer to revisit one of the most controversial figures in British political history: Enoch Powell. Was his infamous ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech a racist provocation, or a warning Britain failed to heed? Simon, who knew Powell personally and wrote his official biography, reveals the extraordinary story behind the speech, why the political establishment turned against him and how the media shaped his legacy. We debate mass immigration, integration, grooming gangs, two-tier policing, the Southport riots and whether Britain is now witnessing the social unrest Powell predicted nearly 60 years ago.
