* pulls up a chair and gets out the popcorn ready for the Panda and Terry show…don’t think this is about the fostering any longer somehow… :-

I don’t like toblerone and haven’t got the faintest idea what Louboutin shoes are (see previous post about labels) so you’ve got to get past Su AND me!

I like it! Is that a jen quote?

Alas no, not sure whose it is as several people have been credited with it over the years.

My adapted version is:
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely at Heaven’s gates in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, chocolate in one hand, a glass of red wine in the other hand, and proclaiming, “Wooohoooo, what a ride!!!”

I have mixed feelings on this.

On the one hand I think that all children need is to know they are safe, that their needs will be met, and to be loved.

On the other hand…
When placing children for fostering, social services take into account the fit into the family. The children that were removed were not indigenous white British – the very kind of people that UKIP stand against being in this country, being a party that wants to end the active promotion of multiculturism. We can only assume that this is also important to the couple since they have joined UKIP and unfortunately this wasn’t known at the time that the children were placed. The couple will be allowed to foster other children in the future but presumably only white British.

Political and religious views shouldn’t matter unless they are likely to have an adverse effect on the children. Imagine being a child who is already feeling vulnerable, confused, even unloved, then finding yourself with people caring for you who don’t think that you and your parents should have been allowed into the country?

Well I think he definitely did the latter!
