aw Josy people aren't begrudging the child, you know he'd be getting looked after either way, it's about his mother being more than able to afford to pay for it herself (and his father btw, he's gotten off lightly here, he was a multi millionaire football player)

That's what some comments in this thread reads to me Nimah, Harvey is the one entitled to the benefit from the government but all I keep seeing is Katie Price has enough cash, she should pay.

Ok, well, imo it should be means tested, I'm going to leave it there I think

Ok well I'm not sure what that has to do with her disabled son so I have nothing else to say..

Fair enough, I don't think it should and if it was then it would really have to be a very high threshold because living with a disability can be very expensive.

Put the blame squarely where it belongs, cynical and immoral governments (lab and con) whose policies are decided almost entirely on the most votes they can buy, or how much they can benefit the government insiders and their friends rather than what is right or wrong. We've had several other celebs crucified lately for tax avoidance, again perfectly legal, but which should be stopped under new tax laws, not by public trial in the media.

So. All people who are multi millionaires should still get child benefits? Not what the average voter thinks.

on the other hand should people who pop out children to feckless fathers every five minutes who then disappear into the sunset and never do a days work get it?

They don't, if someone in the household earns £50k you don't get it.

It is, you pay an extra tax levy on your income if you don't decline child benefit.

From what I know of the situation, due to cuts in her area, the facilities for Harvey's condition have been closed, so the best one for him is quite a long way away.

If I was in Katie's position, With her money she could use her own car, hire a driver and Harvey's carer from home could travel with him, costing far less than her 1k a day costs.

If I was her, I would be proud I could provide this for my son, that I had the money for it and could use it for his sake. Is sending him on this long journey really worth all the time spent traveling?

I read somewhere that Dwight Yorke paid for his schooling at one time, but do not know if this is the current situation.

I wouldn't use government money when I could well afford to fund it myself, whether I/he was eligible or not. There are so many other deserving cases who do not have Katie's resources and could do with the help and funding as used by her.

The 1,000 fee was given as an example it is not what it costs to take her son to and from school, I am not even sure 1,000 was mentioned it wasn't on the show, maybe on one of the upload clips that I haven't seen.

Yes Katie did make the quote of 1k or I wouldn't have known, it is also reported in the newspapers today.

Katie actually said, for her to go to London and back with a private drives cost her a grand..then went on to say it would cost a fortune for her to pay for a private driver and a private nurse for her son.

But she didn't say that's what it would cost to send my son to school. She said, that's what it cost for her to get a driver up to London and back. She used it as an example of how expensive a private driver is.

I wouldn't be that convinced she's 'paying her way' tax wise either, doubtless it will be all above board but she's more than likely a ltd company paying herself minimum wage and and taking an annual dividend therefore only paying 20% tax. Granted as a sum of money given her wealth she'll be paying more than us but I'd be amazed but a little elated if she was PAYE.
It all depends on your social compass I suppose but I'd be funding it myself in her position.

Same here if i was worth £40 mil net. She gave some feeble excuses too.

Katie Price pays a hell of a lot in taxes as shes said due to the nature of her jobs and amount of income she has.

That's what taxes are there for to pay for these expenses. In her paying her taxes she IS paying for Harveys day to day care and has not sponged off the government.

Katie H is making her out to be a mum with 5 kids on the dole sponging off the government which is not the case.

I disagree, she questioned whether is was morally acceptable for someone with KPs wealth to be taking from the welfare state.

Its a no win situation though, is it morally right for someone to sit on their arse when capable of working sponging off the government and pleading poverty whilst drinking, smoking and watching Jeremy Kyle on a 50 inch tv. Is it morally right for KP to let the taxpayer pick up the tab (which she is perfectly entitled to do) whilst paying into the coffers. Honestly you cannot win with some people, they will whinge at both ends of the scale It is her business and she is doing nothing wrong unlike the MP expenses scandal or the layabout taking money with no intention of ever paying anything in.

If I was to get pulled for no ins, I would be charged. She used her wealth to get off and even though she broke the law, she still got off. That's wrong.
