Unfortunately, as far as I can work out, you can't sack a Labour supporter.

not a UKIP supporter by any means but if true then this story is outrageous. However, we only have the couple's word that it is their membership of UKIP is what caused the children to removed from their care.

No we don't. Both 'sides' agree.

Rotherham Borough Council's Strategic Director of Children and Young People's Services, Joyce Thacker, told the BBC: "We always try to place children in a sensible cultural placement.

"These children are not UK children and we were not aware of the foster parents having strong political views. There are some strong views in the UKIP party and we have to think of the future of the children."

On BBC news now.

Well would you want your kids looked after by anyone with such severe emotional and psychological problems that would support the UKImbecileParty ? shudder

Why not? The council have said there's no issue with the quality of care provided, they're currently looking after these children after all.

Do UKIP actively discourage multi-culturalism as the head of services stated on BBC news just now?

The irony of you calling it the imbicile party is not lost on me.

Care to expand on your views?

The social workers are "damned if they do, damned if they don't"

They are responsible for the safety of the kids they place, and, with the best will in the world, a lot of UKIP members have a tendency to the sendemback.

The majority might not be racist, but they sure don't like The Foreign.

Is it worth the risk ?

UKIP servers are in meltdown as we speak.....

I cannot articulate my contempt for Rotherham council officers for their decision.

Lunatics running the asylum. Somebody earlier on said this situation was par for the course with Rotherham Council, if so why are the Councillors and Officers not accompanied everywhere by a responsible adult? We might then avoid such idiocy.

You appear to apply apply the same irrational judgement on members of UKIP that racists and xenophobes apply to people of different racial backgrounds or different countries.

okay - just seen that quote. In which case, it is a completely ridiculous decision by the council. I don't see how membership of any legal, political party should have any bearing on the ability of anyone to be a foster parent.

UKIP = racists was a slur that went around at the last elections, it is an easy way of trying to put people off voting for them when they are a growing threat to the main three political parties.

This fiasco is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Dave promised us an EU referendum and reneged on his decision, nothing really changes and faceless idiots get to make decisions like this.

Well done Rotherham, you've just converted a lifelong Tory to the UKIP

Not in the way suggested.

Exactly. Is it worth the risk of having children fostered with people who can see that the EU is a costly gravy train with accounts that nobody will sign off and a penchant for wasting time and money to suit the inflated egos and grandiose tastes of mediocre political nonentities? Yes - the children might not grow up seeing the reality of it unlike their foster parents, but that's a risk worth taking.

And this is not do-or-don't where a child has been injured because they fell down the stairs or bumped into a door...they're damned if they behave like politically correct imbeciles, and rightly so in this case.

So why would these particular UKIP members want custody of 'ethnic minority' children then?

To raise and care for them for a bit before they 'sendemback'?

To take them to the local UKIP meeting where they are used as target practice?

Lesson 1

When anyone in officialdom asks what your political leanings are the only correct answer is Labour

Anything else is seen as being wrong
