Emma Reynolds, Labour MP for Wolverhampton North East has criticised proposals for a plaque to be erected honouring former MP Enoch Powell. Emma said, “I feel very strongly that there should not be a blue plaque for Enoch Powell in Wolverhampton. His ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech in 1968 sought to sow division but thankfully all of his predictions have been proved wrong.

“Today Wolverhampton is a friendly, welcoming and inclusive city. Huge progress has been made to improve relations between different communities. A blue plaque would send out all the wrong messages about Wolverhampton.”

What do you think? Do you have a view on the proposals?
