Britain risks returning to the anti-immigrant rhetoric of Enoch Powell’s infamous ‘rivers of blood’ speech, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has warned.
The Nobel peace laureate said the intense debate over opening borders to new migrants from Romania and Bulgaria risked overshadowing the ‘opportunity’ presented by new arrivals to Britain.
The intervention comes as a poll showed almost half of Britons think the right to work and live in the UK should be blocked for Romanians and Bulgarians.
Concerns have been raised in Westminster over the numbers of Romanians and Bulgarians who might come to the UK when movement controls imposed when they joined the European Union expire in January.
The government is considering extending the amount of time migrants have to be in the UK before they can claim benefits from three months to up to six months.
Ministers are also examining how to curb access to housing, benefits and NHS treatment for new arrivals to tackle the ‘pull factors’ which attract people to Britain.
But Archbishop Tutu said the issue risked creating racial tensions last seen in the 1968s, when senior Conservative Mr Powell criticised immigration from the Commonwealth, saying: ‘As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see “the River Tiber foaming with much blood”.’
Archbishop Tutu warned: ‘We are beginning to hear the same kind of tune that we had when Enoch Powell was doing his stuff..
‘I thought that was one of the worst moments of your modern history.’
He said it was people from Britain who helped to ‘recover’ South Africa’s humanity.
Speaking on a visit where he was granted the Freedom of the City of London, he added: ‘I hope you do not miss the opportunity [of immigration].
