On July 5, 2009, Colin Powell told CNN said that the policy was " correct for the time " but that " sixteen years have now gone by, and I think a lot has changed with respect to attitudes within our country, and therefore I think this is a policy and a law that should be reviewed.

Powell cut out and retained all his life an article from the New Statesman newspaper of 13 November 1943, in which the American Clare Boothe Luce said in a speech that Indian independence would mean that the " USA will really have won the greatest war in the world for democracy ".

Powell said that the unity of the realm had evolved over centuries and included the British Empire: " It was a unit because it had one Sovereign.

After Macmillan's death in 1986 Powell said " Macmillan was a Whig, not a Tory ... he had no use for the Conservative loyalties and affections ; they interfered too much with the Whig's true vocation of detecting trends in events and riding them skilfully so as to preserve the privileges, property and interests of his class ".

The Daily Telegraph report of the speech said that " as Mr Powell sat down, he put his hand across his eyes.

" Powell also refused to launch a public inquiry, resisted calls to issue a warning against any left-over thalidomide pills that might remain in people's medicine cabinets ( as US President John F. Kennedy had done ), and said " I hope you're not going to sue the Government .... No one can sue the Government.

During the 1964 general election, Powell said in his election address, " it was essential, for the sake not only of our own people but of the immigrants themselves, to introduce control over the numbers allowed in.

In an interview for Today shortly after her departure from office in 1991, Margaret Thatcher said that Powell had " made a valid argument, if in sometimes regrettable terms.

At the press conference for its publication, Powell said if the government introduced a Bill to reform the Lords.

Later that day Powell said in a speech to the Primrose League:

Powell said the issue of British membership of the EEC was one where " if there be a conflict between the call of country and that of party, the call of country must come first ":

" Later in the speech Powell said, " I was born a Tory, am a Tory and shall die a Tory.

In 1987, Powell said there was no contradiction between urging people to vote Labour whilst proclaiming to be a Tory: " Many Labour members are quite good Tories ".

Powell, in an interview on 26 February, said he would be voting for Helene Middleweek, the Labour candidate, rather than the Conservative Nicholas Budgen.

Powell had a copy of a State Department Policy Statement from 15 August 1950, in which the American government said that the " agitation " caused by partition in Ireland " lessens the usefulness of Ireland in international organisations and complicates strategic planning for Europe ".

On 16 July, Powell gave a speech in the Commons in which he said the riots could not be understood unless one takes into consideration the fact that in some large cities between a quarter and a half of those under 25 were immigrant or descended from immigrants.

Powell disagreed with Scarman when he said that the black community was alienated because it was economically disadvantaged: the black community was alienated because it was alien.

Powell said that the government should be honest to the people by telling them in thirty years ' time, the black population of Lambeth would have doubled in size.

On 3 April, Powell said in the Commons that the time for inquests on the government's failure to protect the Falkland Islands would come later and that although it was right to put the issue before the United Nations, Britain should not wait upon that organisation to deliberate but use forceful action now.

The next day Powell, disagreed with the Labour Party leader Michael Foot's claim that the British government was acting under the authority of the United Nations: " The right of self-defence —- to repel aggression and to expel an invader from one's territory and one's people whom he has occupied and taken captive -— is, as the Government have said, an inherent right.

On 13 May Powell, said the task force was sent " to repossess the Falkland Islands, to restore British administration of the islands and to ensure that the decisive factor in the future of the islands should be the wishes of the inhabitants " but the Foreign Secretary ( Francis Pym ) desired an " interim agreement ": " So far as I understand that interim agreement, it is in breach, if not in contradiction, of each of the three objects with which the task force was dispatched to the South Atlantic.

Powell wrote an article for The Times on 29 June, in which he said: " The Falklands have brought to he surface of the British mind our latent perception of ourselves as a sea animal .... No assault on a landward possession would have evoked the same automatic defiance, tinged with a touch of that self sufficiency which belongs to all nations ".

Powell then said there was " the Hispanic factor ": " If we could gather together all the anxieties for the future which in Britain cluster around race relations ... and then attribute them, translated into Hispanic terms, to the Americans, we would have something of the phobias which haunt the United States and addressed itself to the aftermath of the Falklands campaign ".

Powell said that " it would be difficult to imagine a more cynically wicked or criminally absurd or insultingly provocative action ".

Powell said he supposed this to mean " that the Soviet Union, which seems always to be assumed to be the enemy in question, proved so victorious in a war of aggression in Europe as to stand upon the verge of invading these islands ....

Rolling Stone reviewer Kevin Powell wrote that " Without being preachy, Basehead's unconventional style challenges listeners to get beyond their basic instincts and open their minds, search their souls.

Neither director Michael Powell nor star David Niven was very interested in doing the film, but had their minds changed by threats of contract suspension.

Powell further claimed that even if nuclear weapons had not existed, the Russians would still not have invaded Western Europe: " What has prevented that from happening was ... the fact that the Soviet Union knew ... that such an action on its part would have led to a third world war -— a long war, bitterly fought, a war which in the end the Soviet Union would have been likely to lose on the same basis and in the same way as the corresponding war was lost by Napoleon, by the Emperor Wilhelm and by Adolf Hitler.

" A number of reviewers made some comparisons to the members previous bands with PopMatters reviewer David Powell stating that " Contraband is a pretty good record of unpretentious rock and roll that suffers from inevitable comparison with the best efforts of its parent bands.

On 25 February, he made another speech at Shipley and urged a vote for Labour and saying he did not believe the claim that Wilson would renege his commitment to renegotiation, which Powell believed was ironic because of Heath's premiership: " In acrobatics Harold Wilson, for all his nimbleness and skill, is simply no match for the breathtaking, thoroughgoing efficiency of the present Prime Minister ".

In a busy summer, Powell brought in 19 new players and after a successful season, on 14 April 2012, Charlton Athletic won promotion back to the Championship with a 1 – 0 away win at Carlisle United.

President Bill Clinton, the moderator in a town meeting discussing the topic " Race In America ", in response to a participant argument that the issue was not affirmative action but " racial preferences " asked the participant a loaded question: " Do you favor the United States Army abolishing the affirmative-action program that produced Colin Powell?

On August 30 of that year, Mike Powell of the United States, in a well-known show down against Carl Lewis, leapt at the World Championships in Tokyo, setting the current men's world record which has now stood for over 20 years.

Colin Powell told a United States Senate panel that he'd reviewed a transcript of a message from bin Laden stating that he was in " partnership with Iraq ", which was to be broadcast on al Jazeera.

Alf was an admirer of Enoch Powell, a right-wing Conservative politician known particularly for strong opposition to the immigration of non-white races into the United Kingdom.

In 1967, Powell spoke of his opposition to the immigration of Kenyan Asians to the United Kingdom after the African country's leader Jomo Kenyatta's discriminatory policies led to the flight of Asians from that country.

In 1969, when it was first suggested that the United Kingdom would join the European Economic Community, Powell spoke openly of his opposition to such a move.

Since 1968, Powell had been an increasingly frequent visitor to Northern Ireland, and in keeping with his general British nationalist viewpoint, he sided strongly with the Ulster Unionists in their desire to remain a constituent part of the United Kingdom.

Powell claimed that the only way to stop the PIRA was for Northern Ireland to be an integral part of the United Kingdom, treated the same as any other of its constituent parts.

In Powell's later career as an Ulster Unionist MP he continued to criticise the United States and claimed that the Americans were trying to persuade the British to surrender Northern Ireland into an all-Irish state because the condition for Irish membership of NATO, Powell claimed, was Northern Ireland.

After a riot in Bristol in 1980, Powell asserted that the media were ignoring similar events in south London and Birmingham, and claimed: " Far less than the foreseeable New Commonwealth and Pakistan ethnic proportion would be sufficient to constitute a dominant political force in the United Kingdom able to extract from a government and the main parties terms calculated to render its influence still more impregnable.

Powell claimed that the debate was now more political than military ; that Britain did not possess an independent deterrent and that through NATO Britain was tied to the nuclear deterrence theory of the United States.

Powell also criticised the United Nations Security Council's resolution calling for a " peaceful solution ".

Speaking to the Aldershot and North Hants Conservative Association on 4 February 1983, Powell blamed the United Nations for the Falklands War by the General Assembly resolution of December 1967 that stated " its gratitude for the continuous efforts made by the Government of Argentina to facilitate the process of decolonisation " and further called on Britain and Argentina to negotiate.

On 2 June, Powell spoke against the stationing of American Cruise missiles in Britain and claimed the United States had an obsessive sense of mission and a hallucinatory view of international relations: " The American nation, as we have watched their proceedings during these last 25 years, will not, when another Atlantic crisis, another Middle East crisis or another European crisis comes, wait upon the deliberations of the British Cabinet, whose point of view and appreciation of the situation will be so different from their own ".

In 1987, Thatcher visited the Soviet Union, which signified to Powell a " radical transformation which is in progress in both the foreign policy and the defence policy of the United Kingdom ".

In December 1991, Powell claimed that " Whether Yugoslavia dissolves into two states or half a dozen states or does not dissolve at all makes no difference to the safety and well being of the United Kingdom ".
