Dagenham is a big suburb in east London, England, forming the eastern part of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and located 12 mi (19.3 km) east of Charing Cross. It was historically an agrarian village in the county of Essex and remained mostly undeveloped until 1921 when the London County Council began construction of the large Becontree estate. The population of the area significantly increased during the 20th century, with the parish of Dagenham becoming an urban district in 1926 and a municipal borough in 1938. It has formed part of Greater London since 1965 and is a predominantly residential area, with some areas of declining industrial activity, including the Ford Dagenham plant. The population is set to rise as the southern part of Dagenham, adjacent to the River Thames, forms part of the London Riverside section of the Thames Gateway redevelopment area.

2.55 min. | 4.82 user rating		 www.blockbuster.co.uk From the director of Calendar Girls comes the new comedy-drama with an all star British cast, Made in Dagenham. Paramount Pictures UK is delighted to announce the theatrical release on October 1st in both the UK and Ireland for the film that was formerly known under the working title of We Want Sex. The film stars the award winning Sally Hawkins as Rita OGrady who is the catalyst for the 1968 Ford Dagenham strike by 187 sewing machinists which led to the advent of the Equal Pay Act. Working in extremely impoverished conditions and for long arduous hours, the women at the Ford Dagenham plant finally lay down their tools when they are reclassified as unskilled. With humour, common sense and courage they take on their corporate paymasters, an increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government itself. The leader of the womens struggle is fast-talking, no nonsense Rita whose fiery temper and occasionally hilarious unpredictability proves to be a match for any of her male opponents, and is echoed by Barbara Castle's struggle in the male-dominated House of Commons.

From the draining of a soon to be demolished local authority swimming pool in Dagenham, East London, into a world class park in less than two weeks was a feat in itself, but to see the diversity and level or riding on display at the launch event was truly remarkable. 40 international riders with a brand new team format saw non-comp riders, veterans, street destroyers and park animals all throw down into something far better than we could have dreamt of. Winning Team: Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Josh Harrington and Jeremiah Smith Best Line: (Awarded to Ruben's team) Ruben Alcantara, Kevin Kalkoff, Sergio Layos, and Tom Dugan Best Rider: (Rider's choice) Dennis Enarson Best Trick: Brian Foster - Gap to curved wallride out of the deep end The Pool is free to ride until the 12th June 2011

2.38 min. | 4.82 user rating		 BNP Barking and Dagenham councillor Richard Barnbrook (with megaphone) photographed on a BNP demo with senior BNP official and convicted criminal Mick Treacy (white top with black stripe) and with senior BNP official, race-hate criminal and terrorist Tony Lecomber (holding stick / placard). Tony Lecomber was a veteran NF activist who defected to the BNP after the NF defeat in the 1979 general election. He has 12 criminal convictions. In 1985 he was injured when a nail-bomb he was carrying blew up in his car. Police found 10 hand grenades, bomb detonators and 7 petrol bombs at his home, and sentenced Tony Lecomber to an incredibly light term of just 3 years in jail. AFTER he was released from prison, BNP chairman Nick Griffin chose to promote (!) Tony Lecomber to the job of BNP Propaganda Director, when in 1991 BNP he was jailed for another 3 years for an unprovoked attack on a Jewish man. Despite his long career of criminal violence, AFTER the 2nd time he was released from prison, Nick Griffin chose to promote Tony Lecomber AGAIN - to the post of BNP Group Development Officer, before he was finally sacked for trying to hire a hitman to murder opponents of the BNP. However, if anyone is naive enough to think that the BNP might finally have changed, the photo of Richard Barnbrook and his criminal friends was taken in 2004, and the recent leak of the BNP Membership List confirms the BNP still keep in touch with this terrorist through his wife Judith Lecomber!

0.80 min. | 2.57 user rating		 The first photograph in this video shows the Nazi terrorist, mass murderer, nailbomber and BNP (British National Party) member David Copeland (in the baseball cap) working as a bodyguard for BNP founder John Tyndall. The 2nd photo shows a younger John Tyndall (on the left) posing in a German Nazi uniform, wearing a Nazi armband, next to a Swastika flag, under a picture of Adolf Hitler. David Copeland exploded bombs in Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho, killing 3 adults and one (unborn) baby, and maiming 129 people. If any BNP supporters think that David Copeland was an isolated or rogue element, a senior BNP official called Tony Lecomber has a string of prison convictions for violence, and was injured and jailed after a nailbomb he was carrying blew up his car - police found 7 petrol bombs and 10 hand grenades in his home. The BNP website claims that "no senior member of the BNP has any serious criminal convictions"! The BNP claim that all this BNP violence is "in the past", but as recently as Aug 2007, 3 times failed BNP candidate Robert Cottage was jailed for stockpiling crossbows, explosives (to make bombs) and ball-bearings (to use as bomb shrapnel). The current BNP internet operation (including the BNP website for Barking and Dagenham) is run by Lambertus Nieuwhof - a South African immigrant and Nazi race terrorist, who was jailed for trying to (unsuccessfully) murder black and white children in a mixed-race school. Even if we do accept that, according to another You Tube <b>...</b>
