actor in to read it
If a recording of the whole speech existed, would it be more neutral to play the original? Interested as to why.
They used an actor as only a partial recording exists. -

On second thoughts think it’s too soon for that.

This is generally a thing that’s progressing in the right way. I had an argument on here a few years ago with some frequent posters who thought Powell’s speech was completely reasonable. Can’t imagine they’d argue the same these days.

Assume you mean the bikini trimmer but I'm more interested in the "red/blue led facial brush". Wtf is that?

Sounds entertaining. Link?
BTW turns out @andyp was exactly right in his prediction, Amol Rajan did describe Enoch Powell as a 'great orator'. I found the speech chilling. -

Maybe not here, but it's not hard to find plenty of people being vocal about how the speech should have been taken as a warning, what a great intellectual Powell was and how he was completely right etc.
What makes you think this is a thing that is progressing in the right way?

Jacob Rees mogg of all people called it an evil speech on his Twatter feed.
The comments underneath are somewhat enlightening...

All this brings to mind this recent On The Media podcast episode actually. About the pros and cons of giving voice to intolerant views, even if the initial goal is to raise discussion and 'out' them so to speak. See the alt right, Richard Spencer, KKK, Trump.
It's a good episode: https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/on-the-media-2018-03-02/

They’ve got a fucking actor in to read it, they are seemingly treating it with reverence by reading the whole thing out.
Given the current climate, it’s an astonishingly bad error of judgement.
