  1. Around that time the BBC had its first West Indian woman presenter in Birmingham. Enoch Powell insisted that she was sent away when he came for an interview. She was eventually sacked because too many Brummies complained about seeing a black woman on TV. P.S. Many insist to this day that Powell was not a racist.

  4.  @danielwarren3138  No, Powell insisted that she was not to be in the studio if he came there for interview, so some pretext was contrived to have her elsewhere at the relevant time.

  5.  @antonioveritas  I was thinking more of "Carry On Up The Khyber."
