Exactly. And they’ve failed, which is why an investigation is being launched.

To ensure that children get the proper ‘duty of care’ maybe Joyce Thacker should stand down from her position or be forcibly removed.

I personally think that in this case it’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Once they knew about the foster parents’ political affiliations they were on a hiding to nothing.

It was a decision based purely on political discrimination. If they’d been members of the Conservative Party the kids wouldn’t have been removed. At the…[Read more]

Joyce Thacker made the decision to remove the children from their carers. After seeing the video (below) as to why she made that decision I couldn’t help but think of her as some kind of Cruella de Ville-type figure.

I agree with Tom Winnifrith’s view;

UKIP questions the idea of multiculturalism. It is not alone. That Trevor Phillips chappy (yes…

I can only applaud Rotherham Council’s sensitivities to the issues involved in placing children with suitable caregivers. This is not to say that I concur with their final decision, which may have been rash, as it is possible to support a party and not agree with many of their stated beliefs.

I found it quite frightful when…

A government spokesperson (Michael Gove) has described Rotherham council’s decision as “indefensible”.

And he’s right.

I’m sure there are members of the Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem parties who are foster carers too. Does PC Kenty…[Read more]

That’s pretty much the answer I was expecting. :wink:

Thanks God you don’t make the rules because if you did, you’d have Kenty and me on the next plane back to our respective “homes.”

I think you just want this country to be British born whites only.

What a disgraceful (and libellous) thing to say and an indication of just how low you’re prepared to sink.

In my opinion if the parents are members of the UKIP then it’s the right decision.

Kenty, please explain your reasoning for this statement.

Racist or xenophobic?

Neither.

It’s a simple philosophy I have: Don’t travel 20 miles to buy a box of eggs when there’s a shop on the corner that sells them.

In my opinion you should stop being so politically correct and get yourself a life.

So the only possible reason for disapproving of UKIP and believing they are racist is political correctness?

Man Utd v QPR today. I’m hoping so much that QPR (bottom of the table and with Harry Redknapp as their new manager) can get the three points today.

Cos it’s supposed to be macho :wink:

I thought wearing a gold medallion, nestled amongst sprouting chest hair was meant to be macho. Or was that just the eighties? :roll:

They are racist so more fool you if you do vote for them.
