They do try, my God, they really do try over and over and over again but somehow the mouth-breathing nose-pickers who waste their time and my money by idling away the daylight hours inside so-called Social Services offices still never quite reach the bottom of their pit of utter, brainless stupidity. This, from the BBC, says it all:
A couple have had three foster children removed from their care because they belong to the UK Independence Party.
Rotherham Borough Council said the children were "not indigenous white British" and that it had concerns about UKIP's stance on immigration.
And this from:
Rotherham Borough Council's Strategic Director of Children and Young People's Services, Joyce Thacker [shome mishtake, surely, that should be 'Thicker'!], told the BBC she did not regret the decision, which was reached after "a lot of soul searching".
No, dear, it's not your "soul" that you should be searching for but your intelligence and I'm sure that if you set the whole department looking for it over the next few weeks someone will find it and no one will notice your absence in the mean time.
Mind you, I suppose that Ms. Thicker Thacker must have been 'busy' searching for her soul when all those Asian sex-grooming gangs were gang-banging teen-age girls in Rotherham for years and her department did absolutely nothing!
Sometimes, just sometimes, this blog is lost for words - or at least, words that are printable.
So, there is a group called "Indigenous White British". Or IWB for short. How about forming a party for us David?

Problem is, 'Envelope', that throughout my life I have been noted for a taking a tan very, perhaps, too, quickly. I always put it down to a long-lost great grandfather in the Black Watch but my late father-in-law was convinced I was an Arab!

The comrades in the People's Republic will be voting for another red-flag waving monkey on Thursday. This must be a UKIP plot to get further up the queue for second place.

I understand that one of UKIP's candidates in some election or other is deep deep black. So surely, the IWB could make an exception for you. Anyway, if your weather is like ours, you are unlikely to be tanned.

If only UKIP were that clever, Jannie (welcome to D&N by the way) but you really couldn't make this one up!

Today, 'Envelope', and apparently for the rest of the weekend I am pale, wan, washed-out and whiter than white - as well as wet!

Surely Social Services, not Social Security ?

The woman let her personal politics decide on her decision methinks. She will probably get the heave ho soon.
David it was difficult to tell ones race where I lived in Bridgeton, East End Glasgow. Everyone was black from the fallout from the factories and steelworks. You booked a bath in the steamie on a Friday and the white man suddenly appeared!

You've let me down, Jimmy, I was expecting a contribution to my 'Jock Jokes' post!

Laban, belated thanks for your correction - the steam coming out of my ears must have clouded my specs!
