Who can now say that Enoch Powell was wrong when he predicted "rivers of blood"? It seems to me it has arrived?

    There have been "rivers of blood" since the dawn of time. Man is a murderous creature.

    When the Romans invaded Jerusalem in 70 AD, Josephus writes that the blood was as deep as the horses' bridles.

    I can, because wars are going to happen in every century. So I can also predict "rivers of blood". Wow! That makes me a prophet, right?

    By 'Rivers of Blood he meant that there would be bloody race wars on the streets of the UK,.. which hasn't happened yet.
