Rivers of Blood

Currently reading Stuart Maconie's new book: Hope and Glory. I enjoyed his previous travel books and this also has an element of travel in it.

In the chapter "Rivers of Blood", which takes its name from an infamous speech by Enoch Powell, he looks at the issue of migration.
Maconie visits Norfolk for this chapter. He stays in King's Lynn before moving on to Thetford, where a significant proportion of the population are Portuguese migrants. Some good descriptions of the places that he visits, and would make a useful alternative stimulus resource for exploring some of the impacts of large scale migration into an area.
