Nabarro was made a Knight Bachelor for political and public services in the 1963 New Years Honours list. Style Nabarro characterised himself as an old-style Tory: he opposed the European Economic Community project as well as drugs, pop music and pornography and was critical of students. He was a supporter of capital punishment and backed Enoch Powell following the latter's "Rivers of Blood" speech. Even five years earlier, on 5 April 1963, while appearing on Any Questions?, he said, "How would you feel if your daughter wanted to marry a big buck nigger with the prospect of coffee-coloured grandchildren?", remarks which were excised from a repeat of the programme the following week.
