I've not watched BB for a couple of days. Katie H seems to be a hypocrite here , but we'd only know for sure if someone brought up this apparent hypocrisy to her. And heard her reply. I doubt anyone has brought this up in the house.

And yes both Katie P and the PM were , and are in Katie's case now entitled to the benefit.

OP
Well said

Yes I understand Hopkins may not know as I didn't till just found it and posted a link, so fair points.

That is a real shame. No one should be denied help.
The system is failing in it's duty to help families in your situation. Adult day centres are shutting down everywhere. These centres are needed because it is a safe place for adults of all ages who have a disability to go to and with the help of a support worker they can have a better quality of life. There was a adult day centre near me that use to have over 100 service users and they had a flat above the centre where the more able were taught how to live more independently and eventually they could apply for independent living accommodation. It is gone now. I can't help thinking It must have been quite a comfort for some of the elderly parents to know their disabled child was receiving all this help. After all the parents can't be around forever.

Now if anyone wants to say Katie H is a dick head for not thinking Katie P should have that benefit , then well i doubt there's to many who dispute that one

Thing is the adult day centres are only for those who have high functioning learning disabilities. After 18 there is nothing for those with severe learning disabilities. None of the local facilities can cope or cater to them.

Oh don't get me wrong, I agree with you entirely.

I was just outlining what I presume would be Hopkins (entirely hypocritical) thinking on it.

If the government took away the option for high tax earners to access the benefits and services we are paying for then why stay and work in the UK? Alot of top earners will go work in Europe or other countries, its not hard to do so. So then what happens when there is less taxation being received for those who contribute nothing.

I really can't believe people are upset at someone who contributes getting something back vs those who contribute zero.

Price should not be claiming. Cameron should not have claimed either.

There are some who did not like me posting the link, but I am glad I did as I am finding out things that I did not know. I am shocked that there are no facilities available for the disabled after the age of 18 such as those with autism. It must be so difficult for their families to try to get the help and care they need. Very sad.

Well then anyone who gets pregnant and has no means of supporting themselves should not claim either.

Why get pregnant a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time when you are relying on state benefits for the first child?

Why fund school leavers who get pregnant for the reason of getting a council house or rehousing familes and in bigger council houses as they continue to expand.

Imagine you are an adult but with the mental age of 2, you want to go to the park and play on the swing and slide like you have always done. Even that becomes difficult when you are now in your 20s or 30s and people stare and there are age restrictions on the playground.

In the news there was an article about a young man who was denied access to legoland in manchester, even though he had the mental age of 3 - but they wouldn't let him and his carer in - as all adults need a young child to access the venue. That young man loved lego, his sister had bought him an annual pass and he went every week until they stopped him.

Knowing Katie I think she would have a go at him if she met him.

People are quick to talk about pensioners being means tested to have winter fuel allowances or bus passes, so why not means test everything. I think when you get into the millionaire bracket, in terms of income you should be means tested. Clegg wanted free school meals for all including his and Camerons kids, in a time when funding is short for most services that is bang out of order.

It costs a lot money to means test, you need to pay people to implement it. Wouldn't you rather the money goes to a disabled kid who needs it rather than on middle men?

You don't claim money for taxi fares for disabled kids.

It's set out quite clearly here, in a statement from Katie Price's representatives, clearly and concisely.

This is not only sad but very wrong. I hope anyone thinking of going to Legoland don't go as a protest, maybe they will change their minds and let the young man in. I find it appalling. I don't know if it is just me, but these days there seems to be less respect for people, less empathy for those who are not able bodied and from what I heard from a colleague do not stand up and offer a seat for a heavily pregnant lady on a packed train. I despair sometimes I really do.

I didn't even know he was a HM this year

exactly

When your child is statemented and they're assigned to a named school, no matter what the distance is you will be given FREE transport.
Transport is usually a taxi, Social Services puts out to tender the transport, usually the lowest quote wins the contract.

My Son had free transport from the age of 2 to 18 years old.

Thank you for the link. I do feel sorry that he has to travel 3 hours a day to get to the special school. It would be a long journey for any child let alone a disabled child.
I was never over keen on KP, but I wish her all the best.

Cameron is not economically or socially vulnerable. Why would Hopkins attack him on this front?

The same as it is for Katie's son and not her

Hi
its actually not a process of Claiming it all goes through the local education authority
I posted in another thread this was mums job for a long time.
it basically comes out of the same Dept that provides the school buses. Hopkins just saw this as another ploy to show her "dismantle everything taxpayer funded". She really does need to emigrate to Monaco

As others have said the kid is dead so that would be disrespectful - Katie Hopkins is a far right pundit so dont expect her to have a go at Cameron, there are 10 times as many left wing pundits/comedians/journalists/taxpayer funded DS'ers to do that. There's plenty of hypocrisy to go round trust me...

Also Katie Price suggested it could cost up to £1000 a day to pay for everything - I have no idea what Cameron claimed for but I dont see how it would be in that ballpark.
Katie Prices estimated wealth is 40 million so im not overly sympathetic to be honest.

Don't have time for KP or DC but they're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't.

Had they been paying privately there would be some people outraged that NHS treatment wasn't good enough for them etc etc etc.

Oh dear - hit a nerve there didn't I? The link is from the Mirror which is known for its left wing tendencies - that is why I said apparently. I have no objections to Katie P or anyone else that matter from getting what they are entitled to
