Carole Malone in the Sunday Mirror - KP

[Miranda123]

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.........

Why are they still saying a grand?

But i agree with the rest.

[sampvt]

No surprises there then

[JoshBB]

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

[MB.]

Yes, Carole did brilliantly on CBB, didn't she?...

[abhorson]

The next book may not go down so well. Unlike Katie!

[abhorson]

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

Yep. the Mirror story said that.

[Lstan]

how far does she live from this schoo for it to cost £1000 a day?! thats crazy.

[Jack The Cat]

I totally agree with the article.

[Marsh.]

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.

[Pincho Paxton]

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

I read this and have to say I kind of agree.I say let some other poor kid have the benefit of her taxes,if I was that rich I certainly wouldn't mind.

[abhorson]

This is the relevant point. Don't forget. This is the Mirror newspaper. £40 million. wink wink

[Jack The Cat]

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.

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.

[Kazanne]

Yes, Carole did brilliantly on CBB, didn't she?...

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.

[abhorson]

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?

That is the Mirrors way!

[Marsh.]

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

Because Harvey has several disabilities/conditions and requires a specialist school?

[abhorson]

:joker:

[Marsh.]

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.

Is it limited because of people like Katie Price? No. It's limited because of the people in charge of the pot being crap managers.

Also, Harvey fits the bill for someone who really needs them. Not Katie. Harvey.

[MB.]

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.

Her son does.

[bots]

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

[waylander1973]

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.

[abhorson]

KP not going down too well then in the press i take it.

[Pincho Paxton]

Because Harvey has several disabilities/conditions and requires a specialist school?

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

[Marsh.]

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

Because the nearest school that fits his needs is that far?

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.

[abhorson]

Yes, your are right.:shrug:

[abhorson]

He is a child. He doesn't have money.


Yep. He is a pauper.

[Jack The Cat]

Her son does.

As his parent and legal guardian, the money is paid to KP (The multi millionaire) not her son (A child). If she wished to she could refuse the benefit and pay for any required care, etc out of her very large fortune.

She has chosen not to do that, it doesn't make her a bad Mother, just in my opinion a bad millionaire.

[sampvt]

I think she is incredibly druel and selfish to send her poor disabled child out in a car for 3 hrs a day, just because she wants to live in the country. So much for loving him eh. If you ask me its all very stage managed this so called love. I live in Leeds and I would never send my kid to blackpool to go to school every day, That's nuts, Id sell up and move like every loving parent would or should.

She is putting her own luxury in front of her kids welfare so its not right whichever way you look at it.

[Marsh.]

Why would you live 100 miles from the school that fits your child's needs?

Look the correct answer is that you would move nearer. I'll save you some time.

Away from your home, friends, family and everything else? Would you?

We don't even know it's 100 miles and apparently the one closer to home closed down.

[Marsh.]

Yep. He is a pauper.

When in doubt, twist the argument. :thumbs:

[abhorson]

Is it limited because of people like Katie Price? No. It's limited because of the people in charge of the pot being crap managers.

[Jack The Cat]

The amount doesn't matter to me £1 or £10000, it is the principal.

[Pincho Paxton]

Away from your home, friends, family and everything else? Would you?

We don't even know it's 100 miles and apparently the one closer to home closed down.

The kid is 100 miles away from his home, family and everything else. Try better next time.

[sampvt]

The kid is 100 miles away from his home, family and everything else. Try better next time.

She said it was 50 miles away so its 100 miles a day or 3 hrs in a car

[abhorson]

You can pick up some useful things from Campbell! And the Mirror.

[Pincho Paxton]

Still move nearer though anyway.

Keep up

The rich (and all the rest of us) pay in so that those who dont have, can have

Its the same with the NHS, we all pay for it, but we dont all use it, if you have enough money for private medical care, pay for it, and take some burden off the NHS

Katie Price should take the burden off Sussex Council and pay for her own driver and nurse, which would cost her £1,000 a week with those two being paid £500 per week each!

If the rich start using the NHS and not private care and then they start filling up all the state school places and all the social services that are there for the less fortunate, then this country will really crumble

If youre rich,. pay for it yourself!

No doubt the same very well paid accountants who ensure that irrespective to the amount, KP pays a far smaller percentage of her income as tax, than the average person.

[DemolitionRed]

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.

Then shouldn't people like KP be exempt from having to pay large sums of money into the benefit system? Perhaps she could use that money to pay for her disabled sons school journeys.

[Jack The Cat]

Then shouldn't people like KP be exempt from having to pay large sums of money into the benefit system? Perhaps she could use that money to pay for her disabled sons school journeys.

No she should pay in, as required by law, she may be entitled to take out but that is not mandated. I am not making an argument about the legal position but more a moral one. Katie Price is not mearly well off due to hard work and prudence she is mega rich, and will only become more wealthy.

[darkestcornwall]

She lives in a mansion she could employ the best teacher and school the poor kid at home.Save him the 3 hours travel a day.

[Jules2]

I agree with the article, as I have said we couldnt even get free school dinners for my two granddaughters who live with us. We are retired so we cannot get working tax credit.

Through family trouble my daughter and husband looked after a little boy for nearly two years, all they got was 20 pounds child allowance whilst social services did their best to get the lad back with his mother. They paid her for everything, they even used my daughters house and asked them to go out whilst the woman was there. They could have said no but they wanted to do their best for the child. It wasnt about money with them but there should be a principle somewhere, they were used left right and centre.

Katie should either move or pay the amount imo. There are people who cannot get help so where do they turn?

[Caballo]

It's all about social conscience, you either have one or you don't.

[Kazanne]

She lives in a mansion she could employ the best teacher and school the poor kid at home.Save him the 3 hours travel a day.

Hmm,yes,I wondered about that too,surely the best way to go.

[Amy Jade]

I agree with her tbh

[DemolitionRed]

She lives in a mansion she could employ the best teacher and school the poor kid at home.Save him the 3 hours travel a day.

Now that I agree with.

[sampvt]

Like many Millionaires with highly paid accountants, the majority of her wealth is funnelled through tax shelter companies registered overseas, so she avoids paying taxes based on what the public perception, so where does this leave this argument. Now it looks like she isn't paying in loads of money but she is still getting benefit for her son based on her claiming it which indirectly leaves less for those that need it.

Just thought I would mention it after researching her wealth and status under british laws.

[Angelika]

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.........

Miranda, I expect you researched all this personally? You obviously don't read the papers either?!

As it so happens Harvey was in a school close to his home but the Council chose to close the school and insist Harvey was placed in the current school far from home. It was the Council who compromised and offered Harvey the expensive taxi ride every day because of the schools closure. My guess is the school was uneconomical to run and the taxi fair peanuts in comparison.

The Council may have had to taxi other children to the new school unless Harvey was the only disabled local using the school - no mention of them!

Anyone who has a clue about the convoluted benifits system in the UK will know that Harvey needs to be registered and on the Social Services radar because if something happens to Katie it would take years and mountains of letters to get him registered for care. The system is the problem, not Katie Price. The failings and slowness in the system force families to use food banks or starve or live on the streets while the incompetent staff try to work through the mountains of red tape.

Pretty pointless reading beyond the first line.

The article is based on pure bull.
she really should do better with her homework, or is it just convenient to keep on lying about the taxi fare.
Katie P has never mentioned how much it actually cost, her only reference to money was the amount it costs HER to travel to London and back with a private driver.

Miranda, I expect you researched all this personally? You obviously don't read the papers either?!

As it so happens Harvey was in a school close to his home but the Council chose to close the school and insist Harvey was placed in the current school far from home. It was the Council who compromised and offered Harvey the expensive taxi ride every day because of the schools closure. My guess is the school was uneconomical to run and the taxi fair peanuts in comparison.

Great post.

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

This, and do not forget it is for Harvey not kp.

Harvey doesn't need the money he has an extremely rich Mother to pay for what he needs.
