  Tom, you are indeed a worthy successor to Thersites, that you can agree with Barry on the principle yet carp at the detail.
  
  I am sure that nowadays a child with an ethnic minority or mixed heritage would not be placed long-term with a white English couple unless such a couple were in a same-sex partnership; however I'm not so sure the reverse is true as refusing to place a white child with non-white foster parents would obviously be discriminatory. (Choosing my terms very carefully here, to avoid upsetting anyone who might be offended on behalf of any vulnerable person or group against whom I might unwittingly be appearing to discriminate.)
  
  You see, according to the accepted doctrines, only white British people can be racist, except of course the few British descendants of non-white immigrants who have joined UKIP.
  
  George Orwell couldn't have made it up.
