ENOCH POWELL vs JONATHAN MILLER

Yes, I've been watching that loathsome intellectual midget Dick Cavett again. Rather, I have been watching his guests, in this case, the academic, soldier, philosopher and politician Enoch Powell dueling with the Jew Jonathan Miller, who had his nose in the arts and Leftist causes for half a century and was beloved of The Guardian. Throughout the debate, it is obvious whose side Cavett is on and that the audience has been stacked against Powell. These are tricks that have become as obvious as they are commonplace. Despite having the odds stacked against him, Powell still manages to win the day with his wit, wisdom and reason. Little wonder when Miller asks us to abandon "rationalism" and "reasonableness" in favour of what he describes as "a sense of the variety of the human existence and also attention to the capacities of human beings to absorb each other's differences". Little wonder indeed, for if one abandons reason, one can no longer see the contradiction of what he has just said. How can there be variety if difference is absorbed? Typical Hebraic deconstructive nonsense. Miller's obfuscation and constant shifting of argument is to defect from the real reasoning behind his argumentation. It is in Miller's interest to open the borders up to non-European immigration, for it benefits himself and those like him. One also notes his barely-disguised contempt for our elderly.
