Social Service Terrorists

I may just have mentioned it before. And I may just mention it again: I became a grandfather recently. No need to congratulate me; it was easy.

Social workers in Edinburgh have taken two small children away from loving grandparents – Mum is a heroin addict – and placed them with a gay couple for adoption.

Gran and Grandad have spent all their savings challenging the decision to put them into care in the first place. Now that the kids are with a gay couple, Gran and Grandad have been told that, if they continue to fight, they will lose all access to their grandchildren.

Even Andrew Pierce – gay columnist at the Daily Telegraph – regards it as outrageous: ‘This case, even by the standards of what we have come to expect from social services, is shameful.’ And he continues, ‘Not because the adopters are two gay men but because they are strangers. The children not only lose their mother but are then torn from a warm embrace they know and trust.’

I almost agree with Pierce. It would still be a shameful decision if these kids were placed with a married, loving, experienced, heterosexual parents. But the truth is: it wouldn’t happen. This kind of decision is only ever taken in order to fulfil the perverted PC standards of Social Service departments which in practice argue, not that gays have equal rights to everyone else but that they have more rights than everyone else. That, and that alone, is the reason why Gran and Grandad aren’t allowed to argue anymore. Plainly, anyone who is remotely unhappy about placing two children with two gay men isn’t a fit human being, never mind a fit grandparent.

And the Mum? She said: “I did not under any circumstances want my children to be placed with gay men. I wanted them to have a mum and a dad. I have nothing against gay people. I’ve got gay friends, but children need a mum and a dad.” Be careful, dear; even if by heroic effort you conquer your heroin addiction, SS Big Brother may well not allow you to be a Mum ever again if you continue to spout such filth…

Oh, I despair of Britain, I really do! I used to pride myself on being an 'eccentric' (well, I still do - it can be very useful when you're a foreigner in a strange land) but it's all gone too far over your way :-(

I've just read about a foster mother who has been 'struck off' because one of the children in her care became...(sharp intake of breath)...a Christian! Apparently, the poor girl is banned from attending church or any Christian events for the next six months...

Then there's that nurse who offered to pray for a patient.

I'll stop now - I'm beginning to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells again.

*wanders off muttering*
