Nigel Farage, the leader of Ukip, described the actions of the council as ‘a bloody outrage’ and ‘political prejudice of the very worst kind’ and accused the council of ‘bigotry’.
He said of the incident: ‘Very upset and very angry, particularly for the couple involved, who have been fostering for many years and are very decent people, and the awful shock to them of having these children removed, not to mention the upset to the children themselves.
‘Politically, I’m afraid not surprised at all. This is typical of the kind of bigotry we get from the Labour Party and from Labour controlled councils.
‘It was the Labour government that opened the doors to uncontrolled mass immigration into this country on a scale that we have never seen in the history of the island. And then anybody who tries to discuss or debate the issue is written off as being racist.’
Labour have urged the council to mount an urgent investigation.
A Labour Party spokesman said: ‘Membership of Ukip should not block parents from adopting children. There needs to be an urgent investigation by Rotherham Borough Council into this decision.’
I’m glad the Labour Party are investigating this council decision.
The sooner we cut through the bullsh.it of political correctness and restrict the powers of people that live by this kind of thinking the better.
