Carole Malone, another day it how it is Lady, had the following to say about KP in her column today
Headed: Your £40m will buy a lot of Cabs, Katie Theres been much debate about whether katie Price is right to accept a £1,000-day-taxi service to take her disable son Harvey to school. Of course, its not right. Nor is it fair to those mums and dads denied this service because their Council couldnt affordit. Katie Price is worth an estimated £40 million and is making another £500,000 for three weeks on Celebrity Big Brother. And I dont give a stuff that she might be legally entitled to this Super Taxi because of the small print int he benefits rules. Yes, the 100-mile round trip to Harvey's school everyday if "f..king expensive" (her words). In which case, why doesnt she do what other parents do when their child needs to go to a special school - move closer, make sacrifices (although its hard to think what sacrifices shes have to make with £40 million in the bank) Price's mother Amy says "Its hurtful people can criticise Katie for doing the best she can for Harvey". Im sorry, Pricey's got £40m to do whats best for Harvey. What about doing whats best for parents with kids like Harvey but are skint? And if I lived in West Sussex, which forks out this cash, Id scream blue murder about councillors who cut vital sevrices for hard up working people and charge the old for care homes, yet fund taxis for a woman who is disgustingly rich (excuse the money jealousy, this woman does write for the Mirror after all, youd never get that in the Sun) Whats happened here is a blatant abuse of a system (and its the systems fault) supposed to help people who cant help themselves. Not to fund a super rich celebrity who might go shouting to the press about victimisation of her disable son if she didnt get her way. Carole Malone This echos what I said earlier on another thread, the Welfare State was invented so that those at the top, could contribute to those at the bottom, those STILL at the top (ie: with lots of dosh) are not supposed to be the ones taking OUT of the system, they are just supposed to pay into it so that kids like Harvey from less well off homes, get the same chances he does! No one would begrudge any disabled child a chance, and Katie Price is doing that by using those funds that could be used for another kid on a waiting list somewhere in West Sussex.........

She pays into the system, she receives what the system entitled her to. It's all fair.

So, she's obligated to pay large amounts of tax from her fortune into this system but is not entitled to use the benefits this system offers because of her fortune?
Makes sense. Not. |

Why would you live 100 miles from your kids school? It's boring for the kid let alone anything else.

Makes perfect sense to me. She doesn't need any benefits, even if she is legally entitled. Benefits should be reserved for those who really need them, it is a limited pot after all.

Well dare I say , no she didn't do well another lady who is hated for being blunt ,I am beginning to think that old saying "The truth hurts" fits these scenarios perfectly.

this argument has been done to death already. There is no means testing on the benefit. KP's lad needs to go to that school because his local one was shut down. KP has not behaved improperly in this regard at all.
if people have an issue with the benefit not being means tested, they should take it up with the government, not Katie Price |

Harvey is not a multi-millionaire, his mother is.
That money is for him, not for Katie Price, this is the point that some people on this forum are not understanding, Harvey will get government hand outs for the rest of his life unless his mother or/and father gives him enough money to disqualify the hand out when he is an adult. |

Why would you live 100 miles from your kid's specialist school?

Has it even been confirmed that it's actually 100 miles? Because it's not even confirmed it costs £1000 either but people keep throwing that figure around. |
