(RoR was formed partially in response to Clapton getting drunk onstage and announcing "I think Enoch (Powell) is right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a *black colony.* Get the *foreigners* out. Get the *wogs* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wog> out.. Get the *coons* <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coon> out. Keep Britain white.")
