suspect it will be more than that. Uni fees are 9grand a year - for a 3 year course. plus 10 grand a year for living costs, that's £57k!
the problem with Enoch Powell, is that the rivers of blood speech gets miss quoted, one or 2 lines get taken out of context, and he is instantly a racist bigot and those that are too lazy to actually learn the facts take that on board as the be all end all without looking at the big picture of what the man did and said in a very long parliamentary career.
His forward thinking if you read him properly is becoming scarily accurate. he foresaw the rise of extremism on both sides, especially the far right, the rivers of blood speech was a warning against the decision to start a program allowing immigration to go unchecked and entitling those arriving to the full benefit of the welfare state and to legislate directly against questioning the process, an act which would in law define you as a racist:
Here is a decent, ordinary fellow-Englishman, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that the country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking – not throughout Great Britain, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of English history
For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted. On top of this, they now learn that a one-way privilege is to be established by Act of Parliament; a law which cannot, and is not intended to, operate to protect them or redress their grievances, is to be enacted to give the stranger, the disgruntled and the agent provocateur the power to pillory them for their private actions
As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood". That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal
