Simon Marcus in Barking talks about local issues and fighting the BNP

[duckgeezer]

not a SCRAP of difference between Tory and Labour.

BOTH stinking traitors.

[MetaCraken]

well if he REALLY wanted to stop the BNP he wouldn't split the opposition. But at least Griffin didn't get in.

[MarineAqua45]

Sorry Mr Marcus,but alot of working-class Eastenders,remember Thatcherism&the problems caused by the Tories,in the 1980s&upto 1997.The Tories haven't really got a chance in that borough,as the locals would either support Labour(mainly ethnic minorities&some whites that aren't as angry with Labour:-)or the BNP,whom many are turning to,for answers to these social problems.

[bertiesrussell]

I live in Barking, and there is most likely going to be racist attacks if the BNP win....the irony is, most of the real foreigners, i.e. actual immigrants, are white and from Europe (which I don't mind personally, I have many European friends, albeit student friends), but the racist attacks will be directed at British ethnic minorities, people who've lived here all their life, and couldn't possibly imagine living in any other place in the world...

[VigisKane]

VOTE BNP

[jbarks10]

The BNP is the only party that offers the people of Barking and the British people an amazing future.

[blears999]

bnp all the way

[cuddleashark]

This guy can bore me to death,he's so boring,another arrogant tory

[Widder23D]

obtuserie is bang on. The mainstream parties talk at people and don't listen. All they want is your vote and they don't give a toss. This particular Tory candidate is pathetic, almost as bad as my local Tory candidate, who ignored my letter to him no doubt because he had no answers to a challenging question.

[yohaneuano4]

Problems with the NHS, social housing, and school places? I do not see this guy offering any solutions because the Tories won't. He's busy worrying about windows - that's really the priority in bettering peoples' chances in life. You'll talk and you'll say "change" and that'll be the end of it, won't it?

[obtuserie]

If one of the mainstream parties had tackled immigration before it got out of hand, BNP would not be in the running: this country is now practically unrecognisable. Could we now stop using the hard-pressed British taxpayer to fund foreign families would arrive penniless and are housed and feted - and who frequently have little or no respect for this country, but milk it anyway.

[samtheman180]

British jobs and houses for British people Vote BNP!

[james9689]

If you don't come down hard on Illegals and all the mass immigration not embracing British culture or even the language yet get free housing, benefits and end up been just as soft and useless as labor, what else do you expect. People will support where people take these issues seriously.

[dogameel84]

Hey Tory - prepare to be defeated by the British National Party.

How embarrassing for you mate. Stop pushing Tory lies around and give up.

Vote BNP.

[Siegetower]

Great Britain and the Continent developed only once they returned to international trade/commerce by side stepping the islamic lands that were blocking the trade from Asia. The Maggreban and Ottoman traders refused to trade with Europeans unless they converted to islam and no self respecting Englishman does that.

The later colonial period you believe you know largely involved spreading good government and smashing the islamic slave-economies of Africa and Mogul India.

[mendal05]

Conservative who? This is BNP terroritoy, old boy!

[IAMARIX]

'Justtakeiteasy' is racist. Get an education you pea brain.

[strawberrysusan]

I agree. Had dealings with Justtakeiteasy earlier on this page. Not worth the time of day !

[IAMARIX]

'Justtakeiteasy'? Try just taking a reality check instead. YOU"RE the racist one as you clearly have it in for Britain and white people. You talk a load of shit.

[strawberrysusan]

I do not need a history lesson, and I dont think you quite understand either.

I do not believe the British are superior to any other nationality. I have good friends and family who are ethnic minorities, so I do not consider myself racist. Although I do have a problem with major cultural change in my area; I dont know why (except I do not agree with some muslims on their way of life), I wish I didnt feel that way but I do; its just human nature.

[strawberrysusan]

It is the responsibility of the rulers of any country to make sensible decisions on immigration. I have no argument with any ethnic minorities residing in Britain, many of them are lovely people and we all strive to make better lives for ourselves. You are clearly very bitter about historical events and believe Britain owes a huge debt. Neither I, or the BNP are responsible for your grievances; as you say, we are all individuals.

[strawberrysusan]

As you are trying to make me feel ashamed of my race, I shall defend my ancestors because I know many have done a lot of good in the world, which is not widely recognized. Most places that the British took over weren't 'Countries' ; they became Countries as a consequence of the Empire. The British Empire conquered some who had committed genocide, conquest and slavery against their neighbours long before the British arrived. Black tribal leaders sold the slaves.

[strawberrysusan]

If it wasn't for some British conquests in the past, many more people would still be living in severe poverty, with no sanitation, supermarkets, hospitals, medication etc.

At the end of the day we need to focus on what may lie ahead if Britain's population and, indeed, that of the world, continues to rise as it is.

We could argue forever, particularly about historical events, and it will solve nothing. Its time to agree to disagree on this particular issue.

[strawberrysusan]

Multiculturalism as a concept is deeply flawed. It is futile to expect a myriad of cultures and religions to co-exist in harmony. Britain has a right to fundamentally maintain it's natural identity, as every other country in world has. I'm sorry you cant see my point of view but at least we agree that all we want is peace in the world and The Killers are a great band, I love Mr. Brightside :-)

[strawberrysusan]

justtakeiteasy -

Most British people are far from wealthy and we are second-class citizens in our own small, overpopulated Country. In many parts of London the indigenous children are a minority.

It is human nature to seek one's own culture and that is exactly what most of the ethnic minorities are doing in Britain today. It is not racist, but a fact.

Your 'mixed race peaceful world' theory is admirable but, sadly, I dont see it as feasible.

[strawberrysusan]

justtakeiteasy -

You are utterly intolerant of any differing views and you have the audacity to label ME a bigot! As for "RESPECT"..... I quote - "you can suck my horse d**k" .... that was YOUR opening address to ME !!

[czdavid1]

Some things don't deserve respect though...such as the idiotic ideologies of Islam or the BNP.

[AAS0009]

The True way to deal with the BNP is not for the left-wing politicans, we hear constantly how Nick Griffin uses criticisms from left wing people and he uses it as fuel and twists it, if we are to be truly rid of the BNP then it is the job of people from the right part of the political spectrum to deal with these people.

[casinohire]

The tories are not an alternative to Labour in Barking. When will people realise that oversea human beings are no less worthy for housing, health and work. The issues, particularly housing, is a failure of Labour to build social housing in the last 10 years. But to believe the Tories or the BNP will improve housing in Barking is complete fantasy..

[strawberrysusan]

If, as you say, white people can occupy where they like; then how come towns such as Wembly have been taken over by ethnic minorities. The British people have given billions over the years in foreign aid. I am not looking for a pure white Britain, nor am I racist; but with our population now in excess of 61 million and as a result of mass immigration, and with the Muslim population growing ten times faster than the rest of society, Britain is fast becoming a very overcrowded Islamic state.

[KendoSaggyknackers]

To be fair to Simon Marcus, even if you're a Tory, in Barking that makes you fairly left-wing - the only person from Barking who is significantly to the left of Simon Marcus is the Bard of Barking himself, the brilliant Billy Bragg. Barking is a heartland of the BNP, for crying out loud...

[TheMotherKelly]

Simon,do you get paid a salery from your charity?

[TheMotherKelly]

Simon,new windows is the least of our worries.WE WANT TO LIVE IN ENGLAND!!.When will you people listen?.

Tom,thats the last time I use your pub.

[closertofiftythanyew]

wish this puppet Simon Marcus would just go away, used and abused and a south-east part time actor, no doubt.

Never got his hands dirty in his life, just got his mouth dirty, the tory eton spinner.

[closertofiftythanyew]

Cardiff is proud to have their Muslims, where the first Mosque was proudly set up 150 years ago, the first Mosque on British soil. And if you have a problem with the followers of Islam, you will have a problem with me.

And that is why my heart broke that day eight odd years ago. There was no need for that to happen.

[TheHepworth]

Well pal. I've got a problem with you then. I hail from Cardiff and I know of no-one happy with the invasion of Wales. You stand in a very small band of Islamists.

[closertofiftythanyew]

If you were in the Merchant Navy, you might be more understanding. We used to trade with Islamic nations out of Cardiff, and there was no problems then (well, in the UK, at least) - no missunderstandings and nonsense that has been going on in the last few decades. And due to trade of many centuries is why we have their community now in Cardiff.

The Israel problem needs to be sorted - that is the boil that needs to be lanced!

[TheHepworth]

I suggest you try living in Cardiff, or any other "enriched" city before you start your Marxist b******t to me mate. go forth and multiply back to your comrades, traitor.

[closertofiftythanyew]

Such cities are now "unenriched " due to that small-town cornershop keeper Thatcher, and her foreign living off-shore friends from the 1980s, selling Britain for a song, putting whiteman Brit to walk the streets.

It will happen again that way if the torries get in this year. Give Dave five more years to sort his corner out and we'll see if they have forgotten the old hymns.

[closertofiftythanyew]

And by the way, is there filtering going on with new David Cameron youtube videos?

Tried commented on his new video but nothing happened. Ah well!

[TheHepworth]

Whoops, another Muslim with a filth mind.

There's a pattern building here.

[blears999]

labour and tory have a pact to keep the bnp out absolutely no policies this video has helped me to decide who im voting for and that will be the bnp now thanks tories for your help

[closertofiftythanyew]

just go away Simon Marcus, you have no idea what Labour has done, like in todays money £5-80 odd per hour for labour.

Would Torries bring that in from the £1.50 an hour when they were last in?

[closertofiftythanyew]

And the most ironic thing, I could have been a hard core Tory now, if they accepted totally the NHS, as well as giving up that engineering, technology and science is ours, and not to be sold to the yanks as the tory civil service has done to the country for the lasy 70 years.

and don't get me started by the toryesque bankers in the city, playing their games, youtube search, marvellous video, copy and paste,

' Heaven 17 - Let Me Go (2006 Digital Remaster) emimusic '

'

[closertofiftythanyew]

anither video to gargle on, the Specials, using the same 'street' earlier in years, same thought, that tories will feck us as usual,

' The Specials - Ghost Town OfficialSpecials '

[miiawh]

well Mr Marcus why don't you start attacking Labour ,who are your real opponents !

[closertofiftythanyew]

I am not putting any words in anyones mouth, unless I am talking sense....

[closertofiftythanyew]

These torries are idiots. I have been threatened here, but they can't come after me, because I live off several relations wealth to get me by, until May, and afterwards if so has happened.

The torries will be worse than when they had oil in 1979+., much, much worse tool bastards.

[frankenstein369]

What an Actor

VOTE BNP

[closertofiftythanyew]

The head of the British civil service is based in South-East England, a throw-back to the days of the Empire.

And now we have got to put up with these generational ox-bridge civil service paid public school nepotistic Whitehall that blair/brown has suffered from.

Wish the nazzies invaded to put them up against the wall, a la La France!

[closertofiftythanyew]

white brit man has a point, blair/brown has done their best after the tory eighties decimation of Britain with the help of north sea oil wealth, pissed up the wall.

Leave the BNP alone you torries, at least they speak more sense than you south-eastern public school tools for Britain today.

Tossers.

[closertofiftythanyew]

Pillock - I am a basic person that lives in Britain, and for you to tell me to get out is worrying.

I have voted Labour all my life, and in the near future, will always will.

And for you to ask me to leave my country is worrying, pal.

[closertofiftythanyew]

I rather fight you Simon. Compared to you, Griffin is on my side.

Idiots!

But don't get me wrong, you talk like an idiot, divide and conquer bullshit. Just SHUT UP!

Brown to be still our PM in June

[closertofiftythanyew]

1989; Poll tax - gerrymandering - people disappear due to not being able to afford to pay poll tax. Kinnick would have won if basic people were not gerrymandered out of the voting process due to dodging the poll tax because they wanted the money to do other things, rather than spending their money to keep their vote to keep the torries out.

[closertofiftythanyew]

2010; reduce MPs proposal, you get them in and it will be Londonderry early 1960s again. Incredible gerrymandering there, or 1980s Thatchers friends, that cow that sold council flats to screened Conservative supporters in Westminster, or is it Wandsworth, yes, Wandsworth, with the terribly low Poll Tax rate for 1989.

Torries, you are true total idiots.

[rudeboy80]

This video was laughable. Blue Labour candidate Simon talks tough about debating with the BNP and then conveniently turns up at the BNP pub when nobody is there! Ha ha! If you're gonna debate, you're gonna need some policies first. Do you have any? Don't be surprised when Blue Labour lose their deposit in Barking.

[NewLabourVictory]

Don't be a race traitor, Simon.

VOTE BNP

[theakstonsrock]

@tucker672 probably reach em better if it was a footballer!

[tucker672]

Loved the picture of Maggie behind Simon Marcus :D

[19bob53]

Vote anything other than Tory and get Gordon Brown back for another 5 years.

BNP, LibDems, UKIP, will all dilute the vote and gain nothing for Britain, only another term of misery.

[TheHepworth]

The Tories will give the disadvantaged a hand up?

Did I really hear you say that Mr Marcus?

The BNP are the only viable option for the UK. What they say is what they mean.

[aconstantfalling]

Vote BNP

[linktrivium]

this is only getting the BNP more support all the mainstream parties 'uniting' against the BNP, itsb a democracy, so give everone a level playing field.

[mendal05]

I doubt Nick Griffin will care. It's Hodge V Griffin for this seat.

[czdavid1]

I don't know who is more dumb: the people who vote BNP or the BNP themselves. You only have to look at how inarticulate, ignorant and thuggish the pages of the BNP and supporters are on youtube to see what a bunch of boneheads they are.

They can't manage simple things like grammar or spelling so imagine what a mess they would make of a school or hospital (or god forbid a constituency)!!

[2PALACE2]

lab & cons have made a mess of everything, how dare you say the BNP would make a mess of Hospitals, Have you been to a NHS One lately Tory Boy?? Bark & Dag has been voted the most improved Borough for the last 2 years, WHY? Because the BNP have forced the others too do a fair days work for a fair days pay. That`s all the Taxpayers ask for. The lib/lab/Con/UKIP have all had their Faces in the Trough, are all Despised by the Working Public who pay for all & receive nothing BNP are the ONLY Answer

[czdavid1]

You prove my point precisely with your appalling grammar and spelling.

I agree that the mainstream political parties are a disgrace. Voting BNP will with their simpleton grasp of economics is really just what we don't need.

[TheHepworth]

There we go.

The typical attitude of the Tories to the slightest mistake in the working mans grammar. You condescending... expletive deleted.

[czdavid1]

Don't assume to represent the working man. There is no bigger threat to the working man than the ignorance of the BNP. A country run by the BNP would turn into a chav zone with no more cultural or intellectual depth than a film of diarrhoea.

PS I am no tory.

[TheHepworth]

Obviously you're no Tory, You're a Muslim. Charming turn of phrase by the way.

[czdavid1]

I'm no muslim either. I love bacon, love cartoons of mohammed the great kiddy filddler and I think the Koran is a book for idiots. Anyone who is stupid enough to believe that backward and misogynistic load of contradictory rubbish deserves what's coming to them.

To vote BNP though would be a wasted choice. Their lunacy is no less than Islams and really the more we see of them on telly the better so they can be exposed for what they really are : - ignorant fools.

[czdavid1]

Yeah...I live in fear.

[KendoSaggyknackers]

Ha ha ha - ouch! You'd be wise not to reveal your true identity, my friend - you might find that you'll have a 'fatwah' placed upon your head. Actually, rather than having a fatwah, I'd prefer a 'thinwah'...

(Copyright: Arabella Weir, C 1999)

[strawberrysusan]

czdavid1.

What an appalling insult to the BNP and their electorate.

More intolerable,though, was the leader of the Tory party's referral to Mr Griffin as a "ghastly piece of filth". Then we have Labours Jack Straw who thinks "The English as a race are not worth saving".

I have examined all the political party options, and despite your opinion of me, I shall be voting BNP.

[WelshCrusader87]

You're campaign is flawed, quit attacking the BNP and actually tackle Labour. What's wrong with you for gods sake!?

[emzallan]

Nice video, Good luck Simon!

[LachlanRFC]

Keep on going Simon.

[tdp1909]

Does anyone else see an irony in a skinhead fighting against the BNP?

[bertwindon]

@tdp1909  Well is a BNP voter likely to vote for a guy looking otherwise !?

[tdp1909]

@bertwindon:

True, though I shud point out that most skinheads have nothing to do with ppl like the BNP.

Still, to have Nick Griffin meet his nemesis in a skinhead would be deliciously ironic...

[bertwindon]

@tdp19.. Yes, - what's more this small conversation may have revealed the true meaning of "irony" to me. Thanks !

But the question remains "will Nick Griffin ever manage to sort his head out ?"

and further how do we measure this ?

[KendoSaggyknackers]

Nice one - by the way, that reminds me of a joke: Did you hear about the agoraphobic skinhead who challenges people to fight with the exhortation, "Oi, you - inside, now."...

[tdp1909]

@KendoSaggyknackers: XD

[chriscroc]

Well done Simon. Keep strong. The age of voting Labour just because you're working class or your parents did, will hopefully be over as more people become educated about Labour has failed to do in this country and release the Conservatives speak up for the people of Britain.

[bertwindon]

Thumbs-up, but it is "about how labour..." or "about labour having failed..." - ok ?

[kalaspera12]

Nick Griffin wont be concerned about you. all lib lab con are out of the same mould,As Camerons recent statements verify and these 3 parties donot and will not listen to the man in the street

[computersolutions164]

Actually I don't see the BNP fighting the CONservatives, they are behaving themselves at present, although they do need to weed out the thugs in the party.

They make a lot more sense than most politicians and Nick Griffin has the backing of some very rich and powerful people behind him.

That's the reason the CONservatives are getting upset because they see him as a threat.

[gawaintowler]

The best way of fighting the BNP in Barking is by getting behind Frank Maloney and voting for UKIP

[TheHepworth]

You'r having a laugh. Griffin stands for Britain not "Britian".
