TRANSCRIPT
I've been involved with St. Margaret's church for 50 years now which is quite a long time, you know, I'm just a brick in the wall I think and this particular team rooms is part of my time and talents and it's part of my voluntary work for the church and for the community outside, it's all about being there for the community we might not be able to help them but we can listen and that's what's so important that we have people come in all the time I've got no money so we give him the sandwich cup of tea or coffee, it doesn't cost much and it makes them feel that they are worth the person again. We have a mental health group here which is a self-help group and some of those people are now volunteers in the team rooms and it's giving that their self respect.
So it's about some Margaret's tea rooms becoming a central hub for the community. I think the one thing that's helped me understand people a lot better is that I was a magistrate for over 18 years and you learned to listen and look at people and not judge them. You've got two ears to listen with and one mouth to speak with, so you listen twice as much as you speak.
This is the difference now from when I was a child and you had the family around you, your uncles up the road your aunt was around the corner, grandma was just down the road on the bus trip, now people are split mad across the world and that family community is different with all the ups and downs that I've had in my life my central core has always been a family of the church and of course you you draw strength from each other and I think that's what's helped me through the different ups and downs, it's drawing a family unit but a different sort of family unit. People said to me: Well, you're English and well, I don't really know what I am. I said if you look at all the centuries that we were invaded, we were invaded by the Romans and the Danes and the French and the Germans. I said: I don't really know who I am
I'm just a complete hotchpotch I'm a Heinz 57 varieties, so: Who am I? I'm just me.

Battle For Barking - Barking Mad Margaret
Video by
Clips taken from last night's 'Battle of Barking' programme on More4.
Hodge's campaign was not centred around what she could do for the people of Barking if elected but based entirely on stopping the BNP winning, even if it meant lying.
The clips show the depths the far left will stoop to.
Anglians March In Barking
There's no mistaking the pride that the vast majority of British people have in our armed forces. This was plainly evident today as the 1st Battalion Anglian Regiment marched through Barking & Dagenham, having been awarded the freedom of this London borough. The obvious enjoyment of the crowds was only slightly marred by the presence of Muslims against the Crusades, a group described by the BBC as extremists. Police kept the Muslims and a number of EDL supporters apart while the regiment marched on to the Town Hall for a memorable parade. Richard Barnbrook AM paid tribute to this distinguished regiment.

The Battle For Barking (2010) [BNP Documentary]
The Battle for Barking is a 2010 British documentary film, chronologically filming the campaign for the election of MP to the Barking constituency. It won the Sheffield Youth Jury Award at Sheffield Doc/Fest in 2010.
Filmed, directed and produced by Laura Fairrie, The Battle for Barking records an historic moment in British politics through the microcosm of one East London constituency. As it chronicles the rise and fall of the far-right British National Party, it gives a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the BNP family and the working class disillusionment with the Labour party that fuelled the BNP campaign. The film is an honest, moving and humorous portrait of a white working class community forced to face the changes brought by new immigrant populations and decide whether the BNP could ever provide an answer to their despair. Filmed over the course of a year, and with extraordinary access to both camps, the film follows two very different political opponents as they battle towards the 2010 General Election. Long-standing Labour MP Margaret Hodge is a stalwart of the New Labour establishment and, as the daughter of a German Jewish refugee, a strong advocate of community cohesion. Running against her is Nick Griffin, the BNP leader and self-styled voice of the ordinary people. Griffin is a controversial figure, with a conviction for inciting racial hatred, who nonetheless wields considerable support. Following the candidates and their respective teams right up until election night, the film takes you behind the scenes of both campaigns and as the election draws nearer follows the action as violence escalates on the streets.

Bell Ringing at Barking, Gr London
Although a few of the bells might sound a bit strange (4 in particular), I think it gives them character.
If you sit on the window ledge and lean back, you can really feel the tower wobbling.
The present church was once part of Barking Abbey. The abbey closed in 1539 and was destroyed as part of King Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The only parts left are the present church and a curfew tower. The old abbey site is now part of 'Abbey Green'.
Will BNP seize control of Barking and Dagenham council?
BNP leader Nick Griffin's decision to stand as a candidate to be the next MP for Barking has attracted a great deal of attention, Newsnight's Justin Rowlatt finds that the BNP's real prize in Barking may be control of the local authority - and its almost £700m budget - delivering them their first major foothold in British politics. Comments from Richard Barnbrook (BNP), Simon Marcus (Conservative), Margaret Hodge (Labour MP), Dominic Carman (Lib Dems) and Billy Bragg (musician)
