jade goody

[Stevie]

Hi Folks

Forgive my appearing insensitive, but does anybody else not get the whole 'Jade Goody' thing which you cannot fail to miss given each and every time you switch on the television or turn the pages of a magazine or newspaper you find her and her now husband staring back at you ??!!

By some way of explanation ....

She DIDN'T win Big Brother ....

Her personality & apparent lack of education and common sense became MORE than apparent during her reality tv show about her opening a salon ....

She made racist comments on television and then had the audacity to visit India to declare 'I'm not a racist' ....

Her now husband was featured modelling clothing in a magazine only last week while clutching a photograph of Jade .... are we forgetting something here .... he set about someone with a golf club and is a convicted criminal .... bet the victim of that assault is delighted about the media attention their assailant is getting ....

Despite everything above, these 2 are still being heralded as some kind of folk heroes ....

I can only imagine what other terminal cancer victims are thinking, people who would have made a bigger and much better contribution to society if they'd been given the chance and who are unable to leave their family anything when they die ....

Personally, I think the 'Jade Goody Express' is obscene as is the behaviour of the media who are falling over themselves to give column inches and television time to a convicted criminal and a female who has apparently contributed very little to society ....

Even with all the money in the world, I'm sure those two little boys would rather keep their mum...

(They may think differently in around 20 years time when the materialistic side of them kicks in and their mum is, not forgotten, but a distant memory.)

if they have to be supported on benefit you could look up what the DSS or whoever they are now, allow for each child per week.

But Jade has millions already, and they do have a dad! How many children have that much money to start with?

[4getmenot]

not alot but if they had oppurtunity to they would go for it. She cant be blamed because she's trying the best for her kids, if she wasnt people would be complaining she was taking all that money for herself, she cant win

[dot.hawkes]

personally I would like to go knowing my offspring are left well cared for both spiritually and financially than leave them with an unsure future, that's why I can only pay for life insurance, but if i could make money for them any other way for their future I would certainly persue my options quite vigorously with such a motive

"if she wasnt people would be complaining she was taking all that money for herself, she cant win "

To do what with it?

[gina32]

funny girl, according to her programme the other night she did have treatment but it always came back worse, three times she had treatment but this time, well we all know what happened.

[sleepy1j]

that jack is back in court soon so he might be in jail when she dies .got me thinking to get my test done a while back .

[pips1]

I didn't mean that the way it came across - I meant there is enough money now already for them to have a comfortable life, she should just concentrate on giving them what time she has left. Her time with the boys now is more important than money and like I said, they have a dad.

[puddicat]

Dont want to seem cynical do you really think he ever loved her???

[sqad617]

hi puddi,

of course he did, Max Clifford is a sincere guy.

max clifford is a very clever rich smug man.

Hi again Dot

What I'm trying to say is that Jade Goody or her husband should be in the position that they're in at the moment .... media celebrities .....

I'm disgusted at that .... tragic as it is when someone is diagnosed with a terminal illness ....

As Doc Spock says, how much money do they need .... or actually deserve ??!!

Perhaps I'd be more sympathetic if she were a single parent living in a ghetto as opposed to the mansion her family enjoys, as well as her stable of 4x4s and equally flash vehicles .... perhaps she should sell them off to add to the millions she already has ....

Jade Goody does not belong in the media or in any other spotlight .... and neither does her husband ....

The media should have turned their back on her and her entourage long before now !!

Hi again Dot

I'm not being a monster, but what I am saying is that Jade Goody and her husband should not be where they are now .... media celebrities ....

As I say, he is a convicted criminal and Jade .... well, let's be honest, is pretty talentless ....

Perhaps I'd be more sympathetic if she were a single parent living in a ghetto .... as opposed to the mansion her family enjoys, as well as the stable of 4x4s and other flash vehicles she appears to own ....

As Doc Spock says, she and her husband should not be in the position where she is commanding ANY money from the media or anywhere else for that matter ....

Decent, hardworking people are losing everything when diagnosed with a terminal or even serious illness .... perhaps Mrs Tweedy should have binned the publicist, sold some of her significant assets and scaled down the wedding a tad (I mean, how much did THAT cost ?!).... and then done the decent and respectable thing when she was diagnosed .... and stayed out of the media spotlight ....

Her sons .... well, they could do what us other mere mortals have to .... work ....

Wel my mum is in Sri Lanka and she is dying in her own home with liver, lung and bone cancer. We cant afford a medical evacuation out back to the uk to get treatmen. The doctors out there have basically given up on her. So she is just trying to get the best pain relief. The only blessing that we can hope for is that liver failure will take her as that is painless.
My mum has been a nurse for 45 years and never had a day off sick (not even when she was on intense chemo at an age of 64)
I dont think its fair but what is the point complaining about it? Im happy Jade Goody can get the best treatment and have the best quality life she can. If she is getting loads of money from this its because the public WANT to read about her.

[sqad617]

poltergeist......quite correct, but unfortunately that says more about the British public than it does about Jade Goody.
