UK Foster Care Controversy, UKIP and Political Discrimination

The Rotherham Borough Council in the UK removed three foster children from a couple's care solely because the parents were members of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). The council defended the decision by citing UKIP's stance on immigration, despite the couple's exemplary 12-year fostering record. The move has been condemned by Education Secretary Michael Gove and is viewed by the hosts as a disturbing example of political discrimination in "Gitmo Nation East."
