Rivers
of Blood - 1968
"The other dangerous
delusion from which those who are willfully or otherwise blind
to realities suffer, is summed up in the word 'integration' To
be integrated into a population means to become for all practical
purposes indistinguishable from its other members..."
"For these dangerous and divisive
elements the legislation proposed in the Race Relations Bill
is the very pabulum they need to flourish. Here is the means
of showing that the immigrator communities can organise to consolidate
their members, to agitate and campaign against their fellow citizens,
and to overawe and dominate the rest with the legal weapons which
the ignorant and the ill-informed have provided. As I look ahead,
I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the
River Tiber foaming with much blood". |
