-- Andrea Levy riffs on Enoch Powell, in response to the announcement that her novel about Jamaican immigrants in Britian, Small Island, was awarded the Whitbread prize.

(And Trinidad-born Trevor McDonald, the judges' chairman, in answering the inevitable question about Caribbean connections, said that he was not among those who pushed for Small Island to win.)
