Radio Enoch

Interesting bit of history here for all you fellow British nationalists out there.. This is a recording of a pirate radio station broadcast by "Radio Enoch" which was originally transmitted in 1978.

Radio Enoch was operated out of various locations across the UK, but mainly within the West Midlands, homeland of its namesake, Enoch Powell. Enoch Powell was not connected with the radio station, however much of the content featured the politics and speeches of Enoch Powell.

Radio Enoch professed a right-wing viewpoint, being critical of immigration and multiculturalism. The manager claimed it operated as an unlicensed station because its views on race and immigration would prevent it from being able to broadcast in what it deemed a "socialist" media. The station was launched in 1978, broadcasting hour-long shows monthly.

The group behind Radio Enoch called themselves "People Against Marxism".

The General Post Office was unable to shut down Radio Enoch which had around 200 people involved with operating the station.

The rise of Thatcherism and a more conservative political climate signalled the end of Radio Enoch's usefulness. Its purpose in returning a Tory government complete,

Radio Enoch stopped broadcasting in June 1980, vowing to return if a socialist government returned, although it never did after the Labour party victory of 1997.
