Fears for future harmony in UK

Sir, - On Sunday night we saw what I fear to be just the start of things to come in this country, an attack on a mosque by a lone activist.

While inexcusable and unacceptable, are we to soon see a revolt by ordinary people for this and previous governments’ failure to take an effective stance on immigration?

Enoch Powell in Birmingham in 1968 spoke honestly about how the government were irresponsible to allow mass immigration and he saw the future with a sense of foreboding.

He even said: “Like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”

Enoch Powell’s views offended the majority in government and ending up costing him his political career, but were supported by many ordinary workers fed up of immigration.

Nearly 50 years later, my fear is great for the future of this country as we have allowed mass immigration over the years and we have forgotten our heritage as a Christian country.

Our culture of political correctness means we fear offending immigrants.

I fear that Enoch Powell’s words may have been prophetic and we will see the River Thames foaming with much blood unless this country starts taking effective and decisive action now.

If it does not, it will have blood on its own hands.
