Love Music Hate Racism

Members of UB40 and other local bands will hold a Birmingham press conference for Love Music Hate Racism on Friday April 21st to say that Enoch Powell was wrong, there have been no rivers of blood – let's celebrate multi-racial Britain. 40 years ago, on 20 April 1968, Conservative cabinet member, Enoch Powell, called for a halt to immigration, and an end to anti-race discrimination legislation. He predicted "Rivers of Blood" on the streets of Britain if immigration continued, and if the dependents of migrants living in Britain were allowed to join them here. His speech unleashed a massive wave of racism directed at Ugandan Asians fleeing Idi Amin, and at all non-white immigrants then living in Britain.
