Outrage as foster couple have children removed for being UKIP members

Friday, 23rd November 2012

A Rotherham council decison to remove a couple's three foster children on the grounds that their membership of UKIP meant that they supported “racist” policies has been condemned by the Party leadership.
UKIP Leader Nigel Farage said: “Rotherham metropolitan borough council has many questions to answer, both publicly and privately.
"They have to look at themselves in the mirror and ask who it is that is prejudiced? A normal couple who have fostered for seven years, or themselves who are blinded by political bias?

"Publicly they must make absolutely clear the decision-making process in this case, who was responsible for this decision and why.

"That the couple involved were former Labour voters should give them pause for thought, or do they regard any questions about the level of migration into this country, as Gordon Brown did, as bigotry?“
