two weeks pass...

The port arrives and we move into the following week’s alcohol allowance. I broach the subject of Enoch Powell, the previous bearer of the anti-immigrant flame, who warned of rivers of blood in 1968. Farage once drove him to an event. “Powell was brilliant in so many ways — militarily, intellectually,” he says. “I don’t want to be Enoch Powell, do I? I don’t want to be right, but get the politics of it badly wrong.”

it's weird how little commentary Farage's open admiration for Powell has received? idk if it's just that no one took him seriously enough until last week

Few politicians had dared to praise him in public until 2008, when Mr Farage, who at the time had been leader of UK Independence Party for two years, named him as his political hero, saying: “While his language may seem out of date now, the principles remain good and true.”
Mr Farage added: “I would never say that Powell was racist in any way at all. Had we listened to him, we would have much better race relations now than we have got.” Then, in January this year, Mr Farage was read parts of the “Rivers of Blood” speech on Sky News’s Murnaghan programme and said he agreed with the “basic principle” of Mr Powell’s words.
