I wonder if the EU had some part to play in the disgusting and disturbing action by Rotherham Council:

A council that broke up a foster family because the parents were members of the UK Independence Party (Ukip) was strongly criticised by the Education Secretary today for its 'indefensible' decision.

Education Secretary Michael Gove said social workers at the council had made 'the wrong decision in the wrong way for the wrong reasons' and that he would be personally investigating and exploring steps to 'deal with' the situation.

The married couple claimed they had their foster children taken away from them for joining the political party by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.The council has also launched an investigation into why the three youngsters were removed.

Yep, i love this "democracy" its 100 times worse that communism.
Its not that this is an isolated case, its bugs me that there are people who have to power to do this, and the same people are the backbone of the democracy in that particular country.

Yes heard this on the news earlier. So now it's racist to want to leave the E.U. & have better control of your boarders...amazing.
Biggest non-surprise of the story, the local authority is a labour run council ...Quelle surprise!

Erm, well no you probably wouldn't, but how does that have any bearing whatsoever on this?
& how is it 'fair play' to the (inept) council?

because they took immigrant children from a couple who support a party that hates immigrants the bearing is clear.

Okay so you're saying you 100% agree with every policy of every party you've ever voted for?

Politics is like a chore for most people, you pick the one that you dislike the least.

How the hell can you conclude that the parents hate immigrants?

The children had already been with the family for yrs, they were happy, well adjusted, no blight on any checkups/reports.

Loved children. Not abused/neglected or children in harms way.

THAT is what should have been the main focus.

you are totally wrong and thankfully you are on your own smurf0852. everyone has come out and condemned the councils decision - Labour leader Ed Miliband said: "What matters is children in Rotherham and elsewhere, and being a member of a political party like UKIP should not be a bar to fostering children. Conservative Education Secretary Michael Gove said: "Any council which decides that supporting a mainstream UK political party disbars an individual from looking after children in care is sending a dreadful signal that will only decrease the number of loving homes available to children in need."

Its funny how you see these foster carers as 'immigrant haters' because they support UKIP I would have thought that the very fact the foster parents agreed to take these children in indicates their attitude towards race and religion more than yours. and yet what of the kids who have been taken away. what sort of impact as this decision had on their lives. the mind boggles sometimes with these social workers. the head of the council was on the news defending the decision like she was right and the whole world was wrong. she'll soon see the error of her ways first thing Monday morning when her boss is on/in the phone/office

[libstaK]

To be clear, before things get out of hand UKIP do not agree with current U.K. Immigration POLICIES.  This does not automatically translate to them hating current immigrants in the U.K.

I believe this to be the position of the couple in question at any rate.  I have no doubt that a party which is mobilised to alter immigrations policies is going to attract the "lunatic fringe" who think it is an opportunity to mainstream hatreds - that's unfortunate but does not reflect the purpose of the legitimate party as far as the couple or any of the spoke people who are members have said so far.

I think that statement pretty much nails yours understanding of what UKIP are about & as such any further comments by you on this topic can be discarded without reading.
What this story actually demonstrates or rather confirms is the way that the political left wing in this country cannot see the wood for the trees. The person that made this decision patently didn't have the interests of the children in mind, how could they. This was done purely on the basis of a twisted political ideology & the sooner people like this are stripped of the power they have to ruin lives the better for everyone.

SEX GROOMING: We let down some young girls, says Rotherham Council
YOUNG Rotherham girls who were exploited for sex have been let down by the social services and the police it was admitted this week.

So the same Labour run council that turned a blind eye to gangs of asian pedophiles exploiting underage girls for god knows how many years are the same authority that make this decision & your response is 'fair play to them' !!!!!!!!
You seem to be as out of touch on this as they are.
