I heard Enoch Powell speak, more than once. Back in 1968, I was one of thousands who marched in protest at his dismissal from the Shadow Cabinet by that effete organ-fiddler Heath.
I once had the honour to shake his hand. That was after a meeting where I had asked him to leave the Tories and start a new party for patriots. I suppose we could have called it UKIP!

He was right, although not about everything.
–
I also attended his memorial service at Westminster.
It was therefore with no small degree of fury that I read of the attempt by some prattling mitred twat to smear his name with unsubstantiated allegations of ‘satanist sex activity.’
I don’t expect much of the modern churches, as a rule. We had that rotten priest in Ulster, describing Gerry Adams as ‘a man sent by God.’ A murder-gang-leader? Who covered for a child-molestor?

Yet the vile old swine who praised the fiend was not at once excommunicated. Nor was he denied his church’s funeral rites when he died and went to whichever fiery place awaited him.
Neither is Adams excommunicated, which exposes the Catholic Church on the Emerald Isle as spiritually bankrupt, a moral midden.
Nor is the Church of England notably more respectable, as long as it harbours dastards like that bishop who defamed a dead statesman, a man still idolised by millions.
But I held my fire – it would not be long before the episcopal slander was rebutted by those with a wider circulation than I.
Sure enough, Simon Heffer in the Mail has demolished the pusillanimous prelate’s smear-mongering, quite finely. If you have not read the rebuttal, there’s the link at the foot of our page. It’s top-notch.

And more, because, once again, the BBC is outed as an agency of leftist lies, though in this case they were so utterly mendacious that they had to issue a humiliating apology.
In 1998, just after Enoch died, the BBC broadcast a programme in which they railed at Enoch for his hypocrisy. They said this scourge of mass immigration had visited the West Indies in 1953 to recruit black labour for the NHS.
I was told of the story before the programme was broadcast and informed its researcher that Enoch had never been to the West Indies in his life. I was told, effectively, that I was lying, and it was broadcast.
—————-
The allegations are a monstrous lie. That the lie appears to have been retailed by a priest is beyond contempt, writes Simon Heffer…
—————————–
A black clergywoman, then resident in London, talked at length of Enoch having recruited her as a nurse. The story was rubbish.
Detailed investigation by the BBC complaints department found that the woman had been recruited after a visit to her island by Jack Profumo, not Enoch Powell at all, and the Corporation was forced to make a grovelling on-air apology in peak time. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3017219/SIMON-HEFFER-allegations-against-Enoch-Powell-monstrous-lie-contempt.html
Yup!
The same BBC which declared itself neutral while British servicemen and women were fighting and dying in the Falkland War.
The same BBC which cooks the books on immigration. Will the BBC EVER Be Pro-British?
The same BBC which cast its charter to the winds by acting as Harold Wilson’s Pravda during the Rhodesian sell-out.
Harold Wilson used the BBC World Service to promulgate false information about Ian Smith. A letter in the PRO from the Rhodesia Ministerial Committee to the Prime Minister advised that Ian Smith should be portrayed as a weak unreliable figure. Note that the BBC’s World Service, although fully financed by the government, is subject to the same “public service” conditions as the Home Services…

….Another letter from the Commonwealth office dated 25th May 1967 refers to a request by the PM to be shown fresh guidance before it was sent to the BBC. The official said; “I am afraid this guidance has gone; in accordance with our usual practice it was given orally and confidentially to the Head of their African Service. It was suggested to the BBC, we should continue as in the past to make Mr Smith appear incapable of making up his own mind. He should be portrayed as evasive, weak and vacillating. Full agreement was reached with the BBC and the guidance has already been reflected in the content of broadcasts.”…-

This campaign went on for two years. A letter from the BBC to the Civil Service asks for permission to discontinue the campaign because of staffing problems. The BBC man in charge, presumably responsible for continuously breaking his obligations under the Royal Charter, was being promoted.
These letters are probably the only official documents available which prove without any doubt that the BBC has been used by the government of the day to broadcast government propaganda. Stop BBC Bias – BBC Charter Review
Why has that nest of traitors not been de-licensed? Or better still sent packing to Brussels, which subsidises their treasom today?

That Canon Black is iniquitous, which means unfair.
Isn’t there a Bible verse condemning those who ‘rejoiceth in iniquity?’

I expected you to deliver a rousing pro-Brexit Party message but you took us by surprise with this.
Well done, to take up the cudgels for the little party’s candidate whom that ‘holy man’ has cheated of a fair hearing.
The Church of England is decomposing and it stinks.

Quite a few voters will still support the other two pro-Brexit candidates, and I would think some contrary people may give their votes to that Christian party man just because the arbitrary canon was so unfair to him.
So it possibly is wise to be cautious about cheering on Nigel Farage’s party and although I desperately want Brexit to happen, there are Farage candidates I would never vote for, like that communist IRA sympathiser.

When I had an interest in local politics, it was quite common for the local vicar to be asked to chair all-party candidate meetings before elections. Everybody trusted them to be fair.
It’s no longer the same, at least in Peterborough.
I like your idea of suitable penance..
They used to do that to nuns who broke their vows, wall them up. Immured, was the word used, to put them to shame. Sometimes they never let them out!
I have no notion of what vows that Canon Black ever took but he’s a disgrace to his church, treating people like that.
Then as you say, his church is a disgrace too, if we’re talking about the Church of England.

Your choice of topic on byelection day interests me.
Does it mean you have doubts about Brexit Party’s chances?
There has been so much counting of chickens that I share the doubts I think you may have.
