Wealthy celebs claimed thousands in taxpayers’ cash to furlough employees, new figures have revealed.

Film director Guy Ritchie, Donald Trump and the Queen’s nephew David Linley all claimed between £10,000 and £25,000 in December.

Trump’s luxury golfing resort at Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, took taxpayer handouts while he was still US President, through his firm Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd.

Model Cara Delevingne and her family, claimed  £10,000 for five members of staff at their property investment company Harvey White Properties Ltd.

Billionaire F1 heiress Petra Ecclestone used up to £10,000 of the fund for her charitable foundation.

TV chef Gordon Ramsay claimed up to £25,000. Jamie Oliver (£10,000) furloughed chefs who run classes at the Jamie Oliver Cookery School, while Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall’s (£10,000) firm Chain Reaction Ltd, which runs trendy Arbeia bar in South Shields, also received government cash.

Wealthy individuals have been criticised for using the scheme, which was designed to protect jobs and businesses during the pandemic, when many have been forced to stop or drastically reduce trading.

I just saw this too

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/feb/25/stimulus-check-1400-you-1400-week-federal-employee/

"President Joe Biden’s coronavirus stimulus package outlines a one-time $1,400 check to families financially affected by the virus.

Yet the fine print in the House stimulus bill sneaks in this fascinating nugget: If you’re a federal employee, you can receive $1,400 a week in paid time off for 15 weeks if you decide to stay at home and virtually school your child."

Trump being "worth 2.5bn" is a hoax.

Disgusting that these people claimed furlough for employees, especially when they continued to work and earn themselves.

All of these people should be ashamed of themselves.
