Racist UKIP?

In my various trawls through the MSM looking for anything that piques my interest i ran across this odd story, something I must admit to put any sort of credence in. Mind you as we're dealing with a situation in Labour run Rotherham perhaps I shouldn't be surprised.
Telegraph.

A couple had their three foster children taken away by a council on the grounds that their membership of the UK Independence Party meant that they supported “racist” policies.
The husband and wife, who have been fostering for nearly seven years, said they were made to feel like criminals when a social worker told them that their views on immigration made them unsuitable carers.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the couple said they feared that there was a black mark against their name and they would not be able to foster again.
They took on the three children — a baby girl, a boy and an older girl, who were all from an ethnic minority and a troubled family background — in September in an emergency placement.
However, just under eight weeks into the placement, they received a visit out of the blue from the children’s social worker at the Labour-run council and an official from their fostering agency.
They were told that the local safeguarding children team had received an anonymous tip-off that they were members of Ukip.
The wife recalled: “I was dumbfounded. Then my question to both of them was, 'What has Ukip got to do with having the children removed?’
“Then one of them said, 'Well, Ukip have got racist policies’. The implication was that we were racist. [The social worker] said Ukip does not like European people and wants them all out of the country to be returned to their own countries.
“I’m sat there and I’m thinking, 'What the hell is going off here?’ because I wouldn’t have joined Ukip if they thought that.

This is pretty much what I and other have been railing against for years in the way that the hard of thinking loony left have taken such a hold in certain areas of the country when they can regard a political party such as UKIP to be racist. This by the way is the same Labour run Rotherham whose social services turned a blind eye to the muslim grooming scandal in their home town in case they offended the religion and its Pakistani community.
Not for one second in the real world (as opposed to the lunatic world socialists believe exists) would anyone believe that UKIP were a racist party, but in the wonderful (for a given value of wonderful) world of left wing thinking anyone to the right of Stalin is suspect and probably a closet racist and must be removed from any form of contact with the services they provide. By the way UKIP are fielding a black candidate in the Croydon by-election so somehow or other the belief that they are racist does not appear to have entered UKIP's own mentality.
What this couple have run into is leftyspeak which takes a basic premise of a UKIP policy and twists it until it no longer resembles the actual policy. UKIP opposes the EU = UKIP hates Europeans and wants to send them all home, after all who could think otherwise, well apart from 99% of all the rest of the country, but they don't count as they're probably closet racists too...
Wonder if their next step will be to prevent Tory party members from adopting, after all they're right wing too?
