His infamous ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech – in which he warned that immigration would spark ethnic conflict – continues to shape some of today’s most important debates on race, identity and immigration. Michael Gove and assistant editor Madeline Grant sit down with Simon Heffer , author of Like the Roman: The Life of Enoch Powell , to explore Powell’s legacy. They examine how he became a model for populist rhetoric and discuss why understanding Enoch Powell is central to understanding the right today.  This podcast was originally recorded as a live event.
