were removed from their foster carers because it emerged they were members of Ukip showed that social workers must become "better at explaining our reasoning", Professor Eileen Munro of the London School of Economics told The Independent. "I haven't read anywhere the reasoning for removing those children," she said. "I can’t think it was as simple as saying ‘well they belong to Ukip, therefore they can’t foster children’. That’s far too naive a line of reasoning. The social workers must have had a more complicated line of thought.”

Africa hooked on growth after 12 years of progress
Financial Times, 02/01/2013, p.9, Sebastian Mallaby
