		Listening to a Powell speech could be a fascinating, benumbing experience he would use headlines to dazzle, plain words to bemuse.

		Powell's disgusting speech in which he referred to a metaphorical River Tiber "foaming with blood", made on the anniversary of Hitler's birth, 20 April 1968, gave violent racism a respectability it had never previously enjoyed in postwar Britain.
		Powell subscribed to the view that a nation is bound together by blood and soil, an ideology that on the far right is called the Race Soul concept.
		Powell's political judgment was often questionable, but he made one very wise decision, which was not to fall for the approaches of some sections of the newly formed National Front in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
