1968 'Rivers of Blood'

• The arrival of Kenyan Asians in 1967 focused media and political attention of the "immigration problem"
• This "problem" of migration was specifically from a newly formed Far-right party called the National Front (1967) who wanted to expel immigrants
• Enoch Powell was a Conservative for, one of the centres of Caribbean and Asian migrants, Wolverhampton. In 1968 he famously made a speech called 'Rivers of Blood', condemning immigration in Britain. This ended his political career but led to a huge impact as London dock workers rioted in support of his statement
