UKIP leader Nigel Farage, a member of the European Parliament, said the situation was ‘appalling’ and ‘disgraceful’. He accused the council of bigotry, insisting that decisions on foster care should be ‘colour-blind’. The decision came after two officials visited to question them about their membership of UKIP, Britain’s fourth-biggest party which campaigns for an end to Britain’s membership of the European Union.”
