Who said what - again.

A prospective Conservative candidate has been dismissed for suggesting that Enoch Powell had it right in his infamous "rivers of blood" speech 40 years ago. Except that Powell didn't say that - he never used those words. He was a classical scholar, and what he actually said was "As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood'." The Roman in question was Virgil, and this was a quotation from the Aeneid. This doesn't make what he said any more right or wrong, but let's be accurate, for heaven's sake.
