According to the article it was based on them supporting racist principles of the party. Now, the story isn't exactly full of detail, but I think even for the UK, there is a limit to the insanity of taking away kids for political support, but racist parents going to an extreme, might not be such a bad thing.

Don't like it don't read it. Blame MSNBC or Huffington for not covering it not The Blaze for covering things they won't.

They claim the Independence party is racist for wanting to cut back on immigration. That isn't racist.

UK couple lose foster children for being members of conservative political party - National Social Issues | Examiner.com

The following article has a little more detail. I don't say I agree with taking the children away from this side of the story, but again, not my country, not my fight.

The wife said the social worker told her: “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."
Liberalism in a nutshell.

Liberals are nothing but closed minded and politically "correct" people.

In other words - absolutely pathetic.
