Crazy Decisions


I think people who vote for UKIP are bonkers - but I also believe that 'good Christians' in the Church of England who voted against the ordination of women bishops - are bonkers as well.

In fact there's much more evidence of discriminatory behaviour on the part of  the Christian group than the people who support UKIP.

Yet I would think long and hard before deciding that the deeply held views of people in either group - however bonkers from my own perspective - makes them unfit to be foster parents.

So what are we to make of Labour controlled Rotheram council removing three foster children (of eastern European origin) from two experienced foster parents - simply because they were members of UKIP.

Prior to that the couple were supporters of the Labour Party apparently - although that didn't seem to be a heinous crime in the eyes of senior social work managers - whose politics, if any, are not public knowledge at this stage.

So a Government investigation has been launched - presumably into why Rotheram Council is off its rocker - and why it employs people (on big salaries no doubt) whose judgment is so terribly poor.

Social workers suffer from a bad press generally speaking - though it's not hard to see why when senior managers are able to behave in this ridiculous fashion.

The 'service' that Rotheram Council provides to its clients must be truly awful - if this crazy UKIP decision is anything to go by.

The last thing anyone needs - is social workers holding themselves out as the self-appointed guardians of people's politics - where will it all end? 

And with a parliamentary by-election in the offing to fill the seat vacated by disgraced Labour MP - Denis McShane - Rotheram Council has given UKIP an unexpected boost.

I suppose it's even possible that Rotheram Council's ham-fisted intervention - might even influence which candidate ends up in the House of Commons.

Now that would be bonkers as well - but stranger things have happened.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
