I like Chuff, she is entitled to her views and clearly has seen instances where she has got rightly annoyed at perhaps some 'manipulation' of the benefits structure as to claiming.
So from the instances she makes,I accept she is right and respect wholly her views as to them.
From my end however,I myself have seen a different angle,and the problem with Katie Hopkins is she dumps all benefit claimants in the same bag as she does those she rudely calls fat people and any other group of people, usually those at the lower end of the scale of things, who she has a pre-set negative prejudiced view of.
While it is the case, those on benefits have TVs and the like, where they got them is a different thing, they could be from some firm being paid for by weekly payments,they could even come from some local authorities who provide goods at a small or no interest level, if you are on 'certain' benefits.
Or it could be as what a lot of my family do, when some in my family upgrade their 'luxuries' for want of a better word, if they know someone who is struggling and on benefits, then they hand the old goods over to them. free.
It may well be these things are not acquired without assistance from friends and family.
I have however, these last 2 years come across some of the poorest and weakest in society who are struggling and really going along on the bones of their backside due to the heartlessness from this govt as to its welfare reforms.
The number I have come across and helped, and even dealt with leaves me in little doubt from my perspective, they they are the vast majority and certainly not the minority.
Katie Hopkins problem is that she has no compassion or in fact, in my view, real understanding of the situations those who are the poorest and weakest find themselves in.
If organisations and others help to bring some pleasure to such people by helping out with so called 'luxuries' then good, that is really good I say.
There will always be some, who abuse the system, that is inevitable but please, it is not the majority of people and it is certainly not as the picture is that is painted by Katie Hopkins.
She is just someone who uses controversy and discrimination to get attention by being cowardly and getting at the weakest and poorest who she knows cannot fight back against the media publicity she gets against them, and that is publicity she really craves and feeds on too.
