-oXo- Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm sure they were fearing a black mark against their name, especially with their views. Each to their own. Still no reason to discriminate them for it though. Free speech and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm not a UKIP supporter but 1. how did the Council know they were in any political party - isnt that private - unless you are a foster parent ? 2. did politics make it more important to 'protect' these children rather than those we know were failed ? 3. is this a senior officer watching his back and his pension? or, is this a decision made by Councillors who think one thing and do another, and what colour were they and did that affcet their decision ? Far better to have thought this through first rather than 'after the fact' - i'm sure a muslim family would have difficulty with a white Anglican, It does however seem that those who should do things properly on behalf of the residents have failed yet again ?

NickS Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I wonder if what the DT has printed is the whole truth? If so, it is a disgrace. I may or may not agree with much of what UKIP says but they are a part of the legitimate political makeup of this country. What next? You cannot foster children since as a Labour supporter you wish to see a revolution or as a Conservative you would like the poor to starve? I hope the muppet who thought to "tip off" the council are satisfied with themselves for destroying a chance those children had of living a life that most of us take for granted.

Mungler Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Pity Rotherham council weren't so concerned about the 54 youngsters groomed and abused by asian gangs whilst they looked the other way. Spot on And these poor kids, where are they to be moved on to? Ah back to one of those lovely care homes that appear to be central in the supply of under age children to paedos and organised criminal gangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone decided to tip off the council. Don't know why. The issue has been covered on BBC Breakfast just now, and I think they're hoping to speak to Nigel Farage and the parents later.

kdubya Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Anyone watch the sky news interview with Nigel Farrage? the presenter (Gillian Joseph, work that out for your selves) as good as accused him of "electioneering" makes me sick the way the media will do anything and everything to portray anyone who bucks the 3 party system as some sort of racist Satan. As has been said perhaps if Rotherham council was a bit more concerned about the seedy going,s on in and around the local kebab shops in the early hours, as opposed to a couple providing love and care to those who need it, we might just see an end to the PC induced blindness affecting those in public office.

Gimlet Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 THis outrage has convinced me to join UKIP. Since they're now considered a proscribed organisation by the anti-British neo-Marxist consensus that is the three main parties, that is reason enough to pledge UKIP my full support. I will sign up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 UKIP could steal a chunk of voters currently with Tory, LibDems and even BNP, English Democrats but they need money and PR.

Katzenjammer Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Surely foster parents can refuse to look after children if it is not convenient for them at that moment in time? This they would have used as an excuse would they not had they been racists and not wanting to look after ethnic minority children. The fact they did look after them surely shows they are not racist. Just because you belong to a party who wants you to come out of Europe does not make you a racist! There are many people from other races who are settled in the UK who do not want any more immigrants in!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxtav Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Latest update: http://www.telegraph...IP-members.html Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has announced it will now carry out an urgent review of the case, after the husband and wife, who have been fostering for nearly seven years, said they were made to feel like criminals when a social worker told them their views on immigration made them unsuitable carers for the three ethnic minority children. How do the social workers know what the parents views are. Just because you are a member of a political party doesn't mean that you agree with all the policies that they have as these are decided by debates and votes during their confrences. You just have to take any of the 3 so called main parties and not every MP of those parties agrees with everything their party does if they did you would never have rebel MP's voting against their party. I don't know about any other members on here but when I have to vote I look at what all the parties have to offer see what is best for my circumstances at that time and vote accordingly. I don't always agree with everything the party I vote for stands but look at what is best overall i.e I know people who voted for the SNP at the last Scottish elections but they don't all believe independence is a good idea just that overall they are better with them in power than any of the others.

Somone tipped them off about it. That's how they found out. Then the social worker tried to claim that UKIP wants to send all immigrants out of Britain. Which they don't.

Vince Green Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) My wife has a job that interfaces a lot with Social workers. She calls them Socialist Workers. Many come to the job because they already have bee's in their bonnet before they start. Its the sort of job that tends to attract people with strong convictions both good and bad. There are some good ones apparantly but also a lot that are not. Its a very variable job apparantly, some are comparatively poorly qualified and pay can vary a lot as well.
