Dagenham - The Times They Are A Changin'

by Esmerelda Weatherwax (March 2011)


Has anybody seen the film Made in Dagenham? The critics called it ‘a sweet natured film’ with ‘a little too much of the grimness removed’. The Guardian’s Greenslade ended his blog post on the film’s release last year thus,  “the film captured a sense of working class solidarity . . . that is too easily forgotten. Especially in the much-changed place called Dagenham.”  more>>>

Very disturbing, and must be particularly upsetting for someone whose family has lived nearby for generations. Such changes have happened in the north of England as well. How dare the Hampstead Lefties patronise people and call them racist when they object.

I saw "Made in Dagenham" - definitely a feel-good film, with everyone looking prettier than they really did. Few women would want to turn the clock back to a time when they were paid less than men, but it would be good to pay a brief visit to the past in order to find the man who allowed so much Muslim immigration - and stick a sock in his mouth.

Made in Dagenham....so was I.  My old mum was one of the strikers at fords, as for English/London/Essex women walking freely,  not only did they walk alongside, but also they were protected and cherished by the men of their families

My old mum was queen of her sons lives, Dagenham men knew how to look after their women, especially the older ones and widows, one of my neighbours had ten kids, each visited on a Saturday, and as they left each pressed a pound note into mums hand............makes you sigh for the sixties.
