Didnt the Nolans do a big tour in 2009 for the 30th anniversary
There was only four of them that did the tour & DVD, I thought it was a sell out tour, it must not have paid much they left out Anne & Denise from the line up so they fell out with the rest of them Anne and Denise made up with Bernie & Maureen but it took the death of Bernie to get Coleen and Linda to put the past behind them and make up The farewell tour that was due spring 2013 was cancelled in Oct 2012 when they found out about Bernies cancer returning |

She's being paid so much that when it dries up she's not entitled to benefits even if she can't find work or earn money any other way?

Honestly, she's a middle-aged woman who should have some sort of financial stability. She should be using this opportunity to sensibly plan her future career, and not clutching at the hope that CBB will relaunch her (which it definitely won't). She could use the money to start up a small business? Why should she be able to splash it all on a lavish lifestyle, safe in the knowledge she'll be able to go back to living on benefits when it runs dry.
Things, the world, people should be a lot of things. But nobody's perfect and life doesn't always map out the way you plan or the way it should. If she has no regular income then she shouldn't be expected to live forever on one lump sum of cash. Because whether she has a lavish lifestyle or whether she lives on basics, the one lump sum from CBB is not going to last forever. |

The idea that somebody can just abuse the welfare system in that way doesn't sit well with me. I'm not saying she will definitely go back on benefits, and I hope she uses the money wisely. However, I predict she'll assume she's now famous again, appear on BOTS a few times, then disappear to spend the cash, and in a year or two, take the familiar trip back to the Job Centre... |

No, but people ought to learn from mistakes. All I'm saying is, instead of her spending the cash on I don't know, a nice car and champagne, she could at least try to invest it wisely.
You're making presumptions in a "Someone is on TV and claiming benefits, but I thought everyone in TV was rich" kind of way. That's how it comes across. |

My issue wasn't with her claiming benefits, my issue is that I doubt she was actively seeking work like another claimant of Job Seeker's Allowance. She's from the world of Showbiz, and I doubt she'd lower herself to working in somewhere like a supermarket. So she's accepted a cheque from Big Brother... What's gonna happen when that runs out? She'll be back on benefits, looking for her idea of work, but by then she won't have any relevance and she'll have no choice but to get a real job.
Quote:
Ah, well that's another issue. What alternative is there? ESA, for the ill and disabled? As far as I can tell, she's perfectly fine. She seems to be coping well in the Big Brother house. I'd be even more angry if I found out she was claiming ESA, as she's clearly fit enough to work.
Quote:
I know if I was in her position I'd realize that my career in showbiz is over, and I need to start planning an alternative career in the long term to support myself. Like I said, she's accepted a cheque from Big Brother which is all well and good, but that won't last, and she'll be in the exact same position, perhaps worse.

She sounds like success story to me

She hasn't even left the house to do anything with the money yet. How do you know what she plans to do with it, the state of her finances or how she ended up on benefits?

This is all conjecture.
And in any case, we don't even know if it was Job Seeker's Allowance that she was claiming. We're just assuming that it was. Wasn't she recently unwell with cancer? Perhaps it was some kind of incapacity benefit. You shouldn't worry about it so much. and this: http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Cancerin...ialissues.aspx |

What makes you think she is/has/or intends to live a lavish life style? We don't know how much she has earned or how it was spent. Your starting premise based on the posts on this thread seem to be based entirely on your own supposition that you believe she is profligate with money, splashing it about in some cavalier manner of which you seem to disapprove. On another thread you refer to Lionel funding a lavish retirement which you also seemed to find offensive even if it is money that he earned. On what do you base these statements about how lavishly they spend their money?
Secondly, I do think there's something wrong with Linda spending her cash without even trying to use it as an investment, then turning to the welfare system. My opinion on Lionel and Linda, though negative, are very different. |

I'm just saying I hope she tries (whether or not her attempt fails) to use the money as an investment, rather than a spending-spree.
Why shouldn't she splash out on what she likes? Anyone can fall on hard times due to unforseen circumstances even International Socialites like yourself . I would imaging that during the period that she was having treatment and recovering from breast cancer she wasn't earning any money. Losing her husband was obviously a terrible psychological blow and will have had financial repercussions too. Savings really don't last forever when there is no money coming in. You do seem to be very judgemental IMO. After the few years that she's had I really do hope that she splashes out on herself a bit .......God knows she deserves a bit of a boost.One day you may be old like Lionel .......you may find yourself unemployed with nothing to fall back on. How do you think you'll cope if people are as judgemental as you? |

Firstly, I don't find Lionel living lavishly offensive. On that thread, I was merely pointing out he is no living legend, and instead is a washed up entertainer who probably just wants a luxurious retirement. I don't care how he spends his money.

What exactly is there to invest wisely in? If she can't make money from showbiz, or can't find another job, then she like the rest of the country without a regular source of income should be able to get benefits.
I don't see why, like many other people, she can't use the money to set up her own business? She could do many things productively with the money. Anything is better than her going back to claiming benefits. |

![]() the money from CBB could well be used to pay off debts she's accumulated that led to her being in financial difficulty in the first place - she's now worked for it, so she can spend her money on how she sees fit and hopefully wisely after CBB. - The woman's in the house, earning, not claiming benefits, so why the issue ? A lot of actors, soap stars, singers do make a lot of money, then declare themselves bankrupt and end up on benefits as they've blown the lot - I think Linda's back story isn't like that, and the benefit system is there for those down on their luck for whatever reason, she's a darn sight more worthy of getting help than some of the stories of people i've read about. |

To me, as a taxpayer, using the welfare system in that way is offensive. |
