Utter rubbish!!....I worked for 30 years and paid my taxes all that time. Now, unlike most people, I actually was sensible and didn't spend every penny I got on cars, holidays etc so when I lost my job in 2013 I had more than £16k in savings, therefore I don't get a SINGLE PENNY from the government. So WHY should someone who has earned millions and is also earning hell and all from this programme alone, be entitled to receive hard working tax payers money when she could afford to pay herself. Not only that, but people like her are making the scarce resources available these days for those who really NEED IT, harder to get.
Its disgraceful and so are the people saying its right, Katie H has got it spot on.
