(not satire – it’s the UKIP!)

A UKIP councillor in Cambridgeshire who accused 3 children in care of being “takers from society” – to their faces – received state grants for 8 of his own 10 children to attend public school.

UKIP’s Cllr Gordon Gillick stood up in a meeting and aggressively asked three children who had made a film showing what it was like to grow up in care “Can you tell us: how does it feel to be takers from the system?”

Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors who were present at the meeting were so shocked they have written a cross-party letter of complaint about Gillick:

Words Fail Me

But amazingly I’ve discovered that Cllr Gillick is what he would call a ‘taker from the system’ too.

Gillick and his wife received state grants to send 8 of their own children to a local public school:

Eight out of 10 Gillicks prefer it

So not only is Gillick a disgusting bully – it seems he’s a f*cking hypocrite too.

Some like me may be old enough to remember Victoria Gillick back in the 80s who campaigned against contraception. Victoria is Cllr Gillick’s wife.
