His views are forthright and controversial. For many, he is the best Prime Minister Britain never had, an attractive and natural leader whose stubborn devotion to principle kept him out of public office. Others have called him the Tory Judas. He urged the nation to vote Labour when Edward Heath took Britain into the Common Market - and then abandoned the Tory Party for the Ulster Unionist seat of South Down. He remains one of the most outspoken orators and distinguished
Parliamentarians Britain has produced. Tonight The Rt Hon Enoch Powell, MP is Open to Question.
