We have this strange recoiling reaction to someone who has the temerity to say �good riddance�. Why? Does someone�s death exonerate their behaviour whilst alive? Should every bad deed be silently swept under the carpet lest a criticism be heard?
I don�t think so.
There have been many unpleasant people in history. Some much more unpleasant than others. Whatever they have done, their unpleasant nature should not be forgotten nor forgiven just because they have died in tragic circumstances.
Jade�s media fuelled life has done far more harm to the nation than it has done good. While not being her fault entirely, she was complicit in perpetuating the myth that talent, education and good manners are unnecessary. Want to be rich and famous girls? Don�t bother with an education. Don�t bother putting yourself through university. Don�t bother learning good manners.
Just get your t*ts out on telly. And be mind-numbingly moronic. Become a national laughing stock. Hurl racist abuse at an Indian lady (call her Shilpa F*ckawalla' and 'Shilpa Poppadom' for good measure). Then publically blubber and wring your hands in abject fear that your perfume will stop selling and your world is about to come crashing down because everyone�s finally woken up to the fact that you�re a racist, ignorant, bully. Go to India to �prove� you�re not really racist after all (but, let�s face it, we all know you are really). Apologise to the world. Cross your fingers and hope that the media and the public have a short memory. Phew! They do. Continue as before. Get cancer. Hastily arrange to get married to a chap who punches people. Get a magazine to give you millions of pounds for the rights to publish the photos... I think we all know the rest.
