Listen.......lets get real here....you like her, I think she is a disaster as a role model and person, but its not worth falling out over because I actually like your posts and your views, especially those over Perez, so lets both agree to shelve this one and move on ....ok....kiss kiss. or a manly handshake and a wink. What do you say. |
If the law says she's entitled to help then she gets help, if the law stated she earned too much money to have her sons needs met then fair enough but they don't.

I think a means test could end this debate.
Many other people, pensioners, sick, housing benefits and other government grants are means tested and if this was too, there wouldn't be a problem. Harvey is a minor, so the parents would be means tested not him. With a millionaire mother and father, of course they wouldn't qualify. Of course Harvey is entitled to as much help as he needs but traveling so many hours a day to and from his school, cannot be the best for him. |

My opinion won't be popular probably but if I, as she does, paid 40% tax on all my earnings to the government, I would be taking every bit back that I could. Also, as for her having Harvey in the limelight, why not, she's not ashamed of him and he seems a perfectly happy boy in spite of his disabilities, I'd be more worried if she kept him hidde. |

Well said Popsy... It's amazing how people are quick to jump on people that call her a bad mother...(though people haven't critiqued her mothering more her behaviour as a mother)....but who are any of you to call her a good mother...how the hell do you know how much she does for him...for all we know she could leave it all to the hired hands. When she did her documentary married to Peter...every time Harvey appeared she kept asking him to tell her he loves her....it was so pretentious...everything to create the 'image' of the wonderful mother. She may well be a good mother but none of us can truly comment on that. The point has been missed by many....it's nothing to do with motherhood...it's the way she uses situations to enhance her profile. I don't like her one little bit...she is a money grabbing tramp and I don't fall for her 'sweetness and light'.. I agree with Popsy... |

Yes... I said 'for all we know...' That's not saying she IS...mine is a suggestion but I am not saying it's true. Those that say she is a good mother...I would like to know how they can state that as a fact. |

The trouble is the Health Service, Government etc. etc. seems to be in such a bad state that if it is all taken away, Katie P. will be able to pay but the likes of the poorer people will be struggling so whilst she may be entitled she could possibly contribute to help the funds.
As I said somewhere I am retired but for the last 12 years my husband and I have been bringing up two grandchildren. All I ever asked for to begin with was free school dinners but couldnt get it as my husband has a separate pension. If we were working we could have got working tax credit, this would have given us the right to free school dinners.......the mind boggles. The eldest is now at college but other than a free bus pass we have to pay for everything. We get family credit which I expect Katie P does as well? I guess we are means tested. I think she seems to have been a good mother but I am not particularly keen on her. |

I dont like KP but the one thing I do admire about her is that she is very family orientated, keeping her family around her all the time, mother,brother, sister etc I also admire the fact that she looks after a disabled child, cause I couldnt, and not because Im a lazy cow, or selfish, but because it would upset me so much every day to see my child suffering that Id fall apart The fact that she does it (and I know she has money but that can NEVER compensate) makes me admire her But in the house.................she's been a damp squib |

Well I watched the series and the amount of times she appeared on the screen with Harvey constantly asking him to say he loved her was nauseating and uncomfortable to watch....those are my facts. |

It's a bit of a weird one this - I can't say I disagree with Hopkins, really, but she pushes the point too far in the name of "point scoring"... she could / should simply say that she thinks those sort of benefits should be means tested and leave it at that. It's a flaw with the system, really, which Katie Price as far as I'm aware doesn't have any say in.
On the other hand, my youngest daughter is on the autistic spectrum, and may well need additional help when she reaches school age, not really possible to know as she's only 2.5. She's "high functioning" (potentially aspergers), not heavily disabled like Harvey, and may well be fully able to go to "normal" school by the time she's 5, but there's a chance that she won't in which case it's likely that we'll be getting various "handouts" for her. However, I can say with absolute certainty that if we were multi-millionaires, I wouldn't claim a penny of that money even if we were still "entitled to it". |

I tell my kids I love them and they tell me back or vice versa....I never used to ask them and then tell them to tell me. I wanted them to want to say it...not forced to...otherwise it's doesn't mean anything. |
