The man who raised the issue was Tory Enoch Powell, Harold Macmillan's Minister of Health. In 1968 Powell prophesied that rivers of blood would flow in Britain if colored immigration was allowed to continue.

The Heliconian strains of this celestial band flow sweetly to the ears of the listener, enveloping him in a rapture which has led more loquacious critics to rampant excess of sesquipedalian verbiage. The night I attended, however, must have been the Muse's night off, for the music seemed more a product of Hades than Halicon...
