Katie Price - claiming benefits

Easy 10 · Jan 27, 2015

Apparently her son Harvey needs a daily taxi to school, accompanied by a nurse. This, according to Price, is "paid for by the government" (ie you and me).

When challenged on this by Katie Hopkins, in that perhaps she could probably afford to pay for this herself privately, the response was "that would be f-king ridiculous, it would cost up to a grand a day!". Quite apart from the slightly dubious claim of it costing THAT much, this is coming from a multi-millionaire (estimated fortune of £40m), who will pick up the thick end of £150k just for loafing around in the CBB house over a couple of weeks.

How, in the name of Holy Guacamole FRIG, does she qualify to have state-funded transport for her child to school ? Seriously, I have not the words, and this has sent me to bed angry. Could she not sell her tacky pink Land Rover, or one or two of her horses to help with this heinous expense ? Well, apparently not.

I know its my own fault for putting CBB on tonight, and I'm not proud of it. But I was bored and faintly curious, and that plastic vacuous slut just made made jaw drop with this off-the-cuff revelation.

UN. Believable.

Just a thought, but maybe she could get behind the cuffing wheel herself and run her own kid to school and back ? Oh no, wait, hang on. She's got CBB. And then another hair appointment in LA to have her extensions done again, before taking in a photoshoot on Santa Monica Boulevard where she can pull some more DUCK faces into her iphone for her cocking Instagram account.

Right-o love, you carry on. Your mum will look after your kids, and we'll pay for it. Enjoy !

I'm surprised you are surprised. Although it does always surprise me how many people don't realise that what's paid for by the "Government" is actually paid for by us as you mention. But she's just getting even more money by being on the Big Brother equivalent of I'm a **** get me out of here. It's the general public getting annoyed by oxygen thieves like her that allow her to take the piss.

What benefits is she claiming?

Triggaaar · Jan 27, 2015

I believe children like Harvey are often picked by the school in a bus, but when she explained her situation it sounded like he had a private driver, as well as his nurse to travel with him. That sounded unusual to me.

But that said, I think most people would claim it if they could. It's nothing like as bad as the celebs who don't pay their taxes in the first place.

Yeah, this.

At least the slapper is paying her taxes in this country (I assume anyway) unlike Lewis bloody Hamilton who smells a bit of success and ****s off to live in Monaco.

Not entirely relevant to the thread title (and I completely disagree with her getting any government funding) but I know 2 taxi drivers here who have a very good living out of working Mon to Fri only doing the morning and afternoon school runs only.

I think that Katie Price is a ****. However, she has earned, and continues to earn, a shed load of cash for being a professional celebrity. I am assuming that, even with Harvey's transport paid for, she is a net contributor of a lot more tax than the average Joe. I expect Peter pays his fair share as well.

Harvey isn't Peter's son but don't recall if he adopted Harvey when he was married to kp - either way I believe he is an honourable guy

Dwight Yorke is the father and I can't find anything saying Andre adopted Harvey, but I agree as far as the kids go he does everything correctly IMO.

Isn't Harvey the son of Dwight Yorke?...or was it Andy Cole?...or was it Les Ferdinand?...or was it Chris Eubank?...or was it...etc...etc...etc.

Seriously,a grand a day.Jesus wept

I think that the real recipient of any government assistance here is her son Harvey, who through no fault of his own, was born 'disabled'. Don't get me wrong, I hate everything that KP epitomises, but in this instance she is doing no worse than many, many people in claiming what she/Harvey are legally entitled to. There are hundreds of thousands of families claiming child benefit who do not need it, you don't hear of too many of them handing it back?

(Possibly one of the most magnimous things I have ever written on here, must be going soft).

I know her old maths teacher. Trust me thats one of her more accurate estimates.

vegster · Jan 27, 2015

Surely she could sell some of her assets in order to fund this ? oh dear, I forgot she sold everything including her soul ages ago.

kevtherev · Jan 27, 2015

At least she has paid millions in tax over the years. Unlike most who bleed this country dry..Believe me when I say I'm no fan of Price. I think represents just about everything wrong with our society today.

A civilization is measured by how it treats it's less fortunate.

Nail on head.

How many people claim child benefit who don't actually need it, out of interest?
