Labour-Run Rotherham Council Gives UKIP Credibility
The bonkers decision of Labour-run Rotherham Council to take children away from foster parents who vote UKIP is either very questionable or just downright bonkers. It’s reported here on the BBC.
I have no brief for UKIP and regard them as a non-mainstream party, that has a minority appeal to people of a particular leaning. I would include the Greens or the Monster Raving Loony Party in the same grouping. But not of course any party which was downright racist like the BNP.
The council has been rounding condemned by all major parties, including Labour, but I can’t help feeling that we’re going to see an interesting result after the Rotherham by-election next week.

When there are so many children in need of loving foster care or loving adoptive families, I think the system in general is far too picky. And this particular situation is as you say, totally bonkers! I have friends who have adopted or who are seeking to adopt, and I see the ludicrous hoops they have to jump through.

I’ve met quite a few people, who’ve been adopted, for whom it worked out very well. C was also adopted and a lot of her legal work was in the field.
Quite a few of these adoptions, wouldn’t have been allowed by some of today’s councils.
