Nearly 10 years after WW2, weeks
before the end of his second
stint as British Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill suggested
calling an anti-immigration
campaign "Keep England White"
"Churchill had been anxious about the
increasing numbers of immigrants
and, according to Macmillan's diary for
20 January 1955, had thought
'Keep England White' a good slogan. But
his government chose not to
restrict immigration because, as his
Commonwealth Secretary pointed out
in a private letter in 1954, 'If we
legislate on immigration we cannot
conceal
the obvious fact the object is to keep
out coloured people.'"
