Still rivers of blood Forty years ago Enoch Powell pronounced an speech in Birmingham known as Rivers of blood. He was really worried about the increase of immigration and how this would destroy the english way of life, the culture, the jobs for english people... You can see I'm obviouly not English, but I think nowadays UK and specially London are melting pots keeping however an specific british style. Maybe a new style, but certainly british. These days I was thinking about my own country, Spain. Back then we didn't know what immigration was. Better say what receive immigration was, because for decades we emigrated all around Europe and overseas. It is now, in the last fifteen days, that we have received a lot of people coming from Africa, South America and the east european countries. Nobody calls out in the Parliament, it is not politically correct to say it loud, but a lot of spanish men and women certainly would agree presently with the old Enolch Powell speech. We have a long path ahead us. And it will not be easy. Unfortunately, we are not alone. All around the world less fortunate people search for oportunities. It is not easy helping their countries if we are not willing to leave some of our privileges. It is neither easy to build a common country if we don't want them neither in our backyards. It is easy seeing the problems, not so easy proposing solutions.
