"Rivers of Blood"

"Rivers of Blood" is a phrase originating from a 1968 speech by British politician Enoch Powell, warning against immigration from Commonwealth countries, particularly affecting Britain’s demographic and social fabric. The phrase metaphorically suggests that continued immigration could lead to violent or chaotic consequences, implying a future of conflict and division. The speech remains controversial, symbolizing fears about cultural change and immigration debates in the UK. It is often cited in discussions about race, policy, and societal integration, serving as a stark and provocative metaphor for perceived upheaval linked to immigration.
