Welsh Ukip leader Neil Hamilton has come under fire for saying that Enoch Powell has been " proved right.
(...)
"But on the whole Britain is an amazingly tolerant country but I do think the kind of social changes which mass immigration has brought were never desired by the majority of the British public - indeed, they'd never been asked, 'Do you want to transform your country?' in the way that has happened."
Describing the changes in the UK, he said: "We've seen massive changes in the cities of England. We haven't seen such changes in Wales but in the great cities of England we've seen them utterly transformed.
"The whole point of Enoch's speech was to warn that if immigration continued on the scale it was being experienced then that the populations of people coming from abroad could not be absorbed and integrated and that's exactly what has happened.
"We have a series of monocultures existing side by side with one another; we haven't got true integration of different races and population groups in this country - they live side by side and live in different cultural circumstances very largely."
