	Hodge - the Socialist Republic of Islington
		For much of the decade that Margaret Hodge led Islington council in north London she was known - without much affection - as Enver Hodge, with reference to the former dictator of Stalinist Albania.
		Mrs Hodge brought her firm brand of leadership to the authority in 1982 when Labour recovered from the convulsions caused by the short-lived success of the SDP and took all but one of the seats.
		Mrs Hodge was in her final year at Islington when, on October 6 1992, under the headline The Scandal at the Heart of Child Care, London's Evening Standard newspaper alleged that young people in Islington care homes had "descended into a life of degradation and exploitation".

		Margarets response to this was that at DfES, it is seen that postgraduate funding mainly comes from the research councils, where supply is in need.
		Again Margarets response was that there was again no funding to support this, nor was there any way that the repayment threshold of £15,000 at undergraduate level could be increased with the costs involved in subsidising such loans.
		Margarets response to this was that there is now a growing trend towards individual contributions to pensions and that a green paper produced by the Department of Work and Pensions should be noted.

	Longrider » Margaret Hodge and the BNP
		Margaret Hodge, the Employment Minister, is facing possible disciplinary action from her local Labour branch in East London for comments that are thought to have helped the BNP gain make stunning gains in yesterday’s local elections.
		Defending her comments last night, Mrs Hodge said that all she had done was to reflect what she was “picking up on the doorstep” during the campaign.
		Are we supposed to believe that because Ms Hodge pointed out that voters were telling her that this was their preferred voting strategy that everyone else (at least sufficient to give the BNP a significant success at the polls in Barking) jumped on the bandwagon?

		Unfortunate too, the Guardian, not noted for its crusading against the welfare state, details the case neatly, including recent attmpts by Hodge to prevent the BBC from telling the story of one of the abused children who were unsung recipients of Islington's special care.
		Margaret Hodge is a government minister with a nice salary, lifestyle to add to her already considerable wealth before becoming a national politician.
		When commenting about the dreadful Margaret Hodge we should, of course, bear in mind Stewart Stevens and the Evening Standard's original investigation (Link)into the Islington abuse scandal, often quoted these days as a model for the investigation of corrupt UK local authorities and referred to by Hodge as "gutter journalism".

		We think Margaret Hodge deserves praise for her bravery in questioning the religious orthodoxy of the government, and it is good to see that more and more people are realising what we have been saying for many years: faith schools are a key cause of segregation.
		Ms Hodge's speech comes close on the heels of polls that show massive public opposition to faith schools in the New Statesman, where 96% of respondents agreed that 'Tony Blair should end his support of faith schools' and The Guardian, where 64% said they were opposed to faith schools.

		At the moment there is no suggestion Ms Hodge is about to resign or be sacked, with her supporters insisting there is no case against her other than the bad judgement in writing the letter.
