Enoch Powell is the latest – conveniently dead – politician to be accused of awful crimes. This nonsense has to stop

As headlines go it was a belter. “Enoch Powell accused of satanic sex abuse,” the Mailreported at the weekend. “Bishop of Durham gave his name to Met detectives.”

Bishops are sedate and careful creatures, you might think, not given to being impulsive. If the Bishop of Durham (for it was he) passed on Enoch Powell’s name — along with those of Thatcher’s home secretary Willie Whitelaw and the Labour MP Leo Abse — to the authorities, then he must have had reason to do so.
