Soviet Socialist Republic of Rotherham

Guido Fawkes has a good take on the Rotherham Social Services Starzi here.. He says

There is no doubt that the children removed from the foster care of a UKIP supporting couple are just the latest victims of the culture war being waged by so-called “progressives”. Marxists and Fabians have long waged war on the traditional family since the days of George Bernard Shaw when he wrote in “Socialism and the Family” that socialism…

…intervenes between the children and the parents, claiming to support them, protect them, and educate them for its own ampler purposes. Socialism, in fact, is the State family. The old family of the private individual must vanish before it, just as the old water works of private enterprise, or the old gas company. They are incompatible with it. Socialism assails the rampant egotism of the family today… So far as English Socialism is concerned … I must confess that the assault has displayed a quite extraordinary instinct for taking cover, but that is a question of tactics rather than of essential antagonism.

Guido also mentions that Rotherham Social Services said

“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.” If the implicitly small ‘c’ conservative nature of a family antagonises progressives, how much more horrifying for them are parents openly opposed to progressive values.

Labour have been known in some parts of the country to tell people that if they didn’t vote Labour they would be evicted from their council houses, the children taken into care for routine daily abuse and their pets shot. It is easy to imagine that Labour are seeing their core supporters deserting to UKIP now that UKIP can no longer campaign as if it is solely designed to keep Tories out and have sunk to similar let’s-get-personal campaigning with foster parents.

Ed Miliband condemned Rotherham Social Services action because in five days’ time the town has a parliamentary by-election.
