    actually, this case of the Rotherham child carers is like manna from heaven to UKIP with a parliamentary by-election coming up on Thursday.

    Only Terry could mess it all up for them on these boards. A real chance to make headway, and he just can’t help slathering at the mouth with abuse and insults…the hurt to the children just kinda falls by the wayside.

    An unkind person might even say that Terry doesn’t really care about the east european kids in Rotherham. An unkind person could also say the same about UKIP, who are playing it for all it’s worth politically.

    *hat off to Terry

    Ive just listened to an interview with the foster parents and I stand by my original thoughts on this case. The kids should have stayed put there was no need whatsoever in my view for them to be removed.

    It seems the mere mention of the name UKIP brings out the very worst in people.. I have never voted UKIP but because I have started to doubt if we should be in the EU I have started looking at their policies. I’ll be honest I haven’t seen anything in them I think is racist. I’m not persuaded to vote for them yet, Im still waiting for an informed debate on the EU…so who knows?

    I dont think the kids should be returned to the carers now…. I fear they would be stigmatized any damage has been done by moving them….. I just hope their best interests are what matters now and not political point scoring.

    Valid points as usual, Mrs T.

    I don’t share UKIP’s views on Europe or many other things to be honest, but I don’t think they are a racist party per se. I think even Pro EU supporters have issues about the EU and it has become a contentious issue whichever side of the fence you sit on.

    I don’t know if moving the children was in their best interest because, like everyone else, I don’t know the details and I most definitely don’t know anything about the foster parents. I still stand by my original conviction that it was an understandable concern, as is any belief that may be considered to potentially have a negative impact on the kids. As such I would question placing Jewish children with a Muslim family without necessarily implying any value judgement of the prospective foster parents.

    I fear that the welfare of the children is in danger of being completely lost in this issue, as those that should know better have chosen to take the opportunity to exploit it for their political benefit. It seems very few of those who have stepped on the soapbox have put the pending by election to one side and considered the complexity of this unique scenario.

    I don’t think UKIP have been blameless though, they gain greatly by polarizing the EU issue and most of us have more complex views about it, rather like your doubts.

    Polarizing the EU issue is what all political parties should be doing for goodness sake. :roll:
    It’s no good sitting on the fence when you’re a politician and we desperately need somebody (anybody but Cameron..) to lead this country rather than get led by unelected, corrupt EU bureaucrats. Let’s get one thing straight: The EU (or Hitler’s utopian vision) has been a disaster. What good has it ever done to any member nation?

    Silly me for listening to people who have a greater understanding of the complex implications of the EU when they declare that it is a complex issue. Silly me for not thinking that people like Mrs Teapot who have valid doubts are nothing more than fence sitters. Silly me for thinking the occasional typo or misplaced apostrophe doesn’t make someone a complete idiot. Silly me for having an opinion that might be contrary to yours. Silly me for thinking that there might be a chance that I was going to be one of the people on your Christmas card list.

    I agree with the silly you bit.

    Having been on the receiving end of several of your limp-wristed insults I wonder how you have the nerve to write this rubbish (without blushing).

    You really are a sad excuse for somebody who gives the impression of knowing it all, but who actually (in reality) knows very little. You may fool a few dimwits on these boards, but you don’t fool everyone.

    Praising George W Bush and Gordon Brown for saving the world was the moment of epiphany for me – the realisation there was a screw missing in that tiny warped mind of yours. How on earth could anyone (apart from you) find anything positive to say about Bush or Brown?

    I’m not going to accuse you of being a racist or a bigot – there seems to be a lot of that rubbish going on already on these boards. Only cowards stoop so low that they accuse others of racism. And, as far as I’m concerned, I can’t think of a better word than “coward” to best describe you. But there again “loser” is a pretty apt word too.

    Terry Kinesis is right!

    Everyone needs ****ing strength since that bloomin’ 50 Shades of Grey plus viagra turned ****ing into an olympic event with points for speed, stamina and artistic expression!

    Stiff wristed insults are the only kind that should be tolerated!

    Scep should stop being sad and start being a happy excuse for a person!

    (As he’s already started referring to Blair as an example, I’ll gloss over the Bush and Brown references for now, he might turn for them)

    Loser is such an apt word, everyone’s lost something at least once in their life, ergo scep must be a loser. But then, referencing the earlier principle about calling someone a racist, isn’t someone who calls another a loser as bad as the losers. . . . . . ?

    (Look, I only have the one joke, but I can keep it up for ages, phnar, phnar)

    No surprises there then.

    Don’t know if you know this, Terry, but intelligence is a social construct and it requires the ability to take on board ideas and concepts that you might not necessarily agree with and to put them under some sort of rational analysis. I’m not sure how always thinking that you’re right or criticising the person rather than the thrust of their argument fits with any decent definition of intelligent discussion.

    But I guess I’m the one who’s silly.

    Might be a good idea if we both elect to ignore our mutual comments. I don’t think you’re capable of taking on board the opinions of anyone else unless they align with yours and I don’t care to engage with someone who thinks they have all the answers.

    Don’t want to spoil his game rusty, but it’s obvious that Terry’s just enjoying winding people up. Trouble is, his ‘House’ icon identifies him with a clever character with a sense of irony, but great difficulty conveying a sense of his own fallibility.

    Best play with him and pretend to be wound up or openly ridicule him – he’s better than a a ball on a string on a good day.

    Thanks for the advice Words. I’ll give it some thought over a quick drink at the gentleman’s establishment as it seems to have been abandoned of late.
