A Place to Stand

A couple had their three foster children taken away by a council on the grounds that their membership of the UK Independence Party meant that they supported “racist” policies.
The couple from near Rotherham who had the children they were fostering taken away after it was discovered they were supporters of UKIP
The husband and wife, who have been fostering for nearly seven years, said they were made to feel like criminals when a social worker told them that their views on immigration made them unsuitable carers.....

"Being a supporter of a mainstream political party is not a deal-breaker when it comes to looking after children if it means they can have a loving family home.”

The husband was a Royal Navy reservist for more than 30 years and works with disabled people, while his wife is a qualified nursery nurse.

Former Labour voters, they have been approved foster parents for nearly seven years and have looked after about a dozen different children, one of them in a placement lasting four years....
They believe that the youngsters thrived in their care. The couple were described as “exemplary” foster parents: the baby put on weight and the older girl even began calling them “mum and dad”...
The wife recalled: “I was dumbfounded. Then my question to both of them was, 'What has Ukip got to do with having the children removed?’....
The wife said she told the social worker and agency official: “These kids have been loved. These kids have been treated no differently to our own children. We wouldn’t have taken these children on if we had been racist.”....

The wife said the social worker told her: “We would not have placed these children with you had we known you were members of Ukip because it wouldn’t have been the right cultural match.” The wife said she was left “bereft”, adding: “We felt like we were criminals. From having a little baby in my arms, suddenly there was an empty cot. I knew she wouldn’t have been here for ever, but usually there is a build-up of several weeks. I was in tears.”....

.....Ukip has a black candidate in the forthcoming Croydon North by-election.

     I have underlined the bit which suggests this is just the tip of the iceberg. For every child stolen publicly because their real or foster parents have unapproved political thoughts there must be dozens, perhaps hundreds where it is done quietly, either never approving them for adoption or where these fascist parasites had the sense to pretend it was for another reason.
 This is the comment I put on Bishop Hill who put it under the heading "soft totalitarianism":   Not so "soft" this totalitarianism.
Not long ago these fascist parasites took a woman's child because she was a member of the EDL. This got little media coverage or political concern (including from UKIP) because after all it was the Jews, sorry EDL.

Pastor Neimoller's words clearly apply:

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

There are those who would imprison or section sceptics. Already children are being failed in exams when even the markers admit they were well informed, simply for expressing doubt that catastrophic warming is taking place
Life for children in council care is a cruel and unusual punishment as the close correlation with subsequent criminality, drink and drug abuse, illiteracy, suicide and almost every measure of human failure shows.

Yet social workers have nearly 100,000 children in "care", for which they get well over £10 billion from the taxpayer. Rochdale proves the "professional carers" not only do not care for them but allow them to be raped. Rape of children by "professional carers" is common, as described by Benjamin Zephaniah from personal experience, recently on Question Time. Despite the "professional carers" claiming this was being done "for the children" it is clear they did not ask them and virtually certain it was done against their wishes.

This is somewhere that a line in the sand must be drawn.

Politicians of all parties must unite in saying that taking these children is a disgusting fascist act. The Labour party must require that their Rotherham council not only reverse the decision but that the totalitarian fascists who did this never get paid from the public purse again.
It is impossible that any politician who is not personally an out and out fascist could support the "professional carers" position which in turn means that any remotely honest journalistic organisation (that wouldn't include the BBC) could ever describe any such politician as being in any way anti-fascist."
----------------------------------
  Note that in Scotland you are 2 1/2 times more likely to have yoour children taken into council "care" than in England. This can only be either because Scots parents are 2 1/2 times more abusive than English or because we have 2 1/2 times more totalitarian ideologues in our councils.

  We also have the case, a few days ago, of the man who was removed from his job simply because he held the politically incorrect view that the word "marriage" sgould not be redefined for idological reasons.

  I do not think it can be honestly suggested that those in the EDL or BNP have demonstrated that they are in any way as fascist as these state funded, child abusing "professional carers". Or than any politician, who has approved of firing BNP or EDL members from public service but is not willing to say loudly and publicly that these child abusers should be.
