State funeral for Saint Jade of Goody?

[Uncle C]

and was seen to be a bit dim.

I think you need a reality check there young man. She lived in Essex yet thought East Angular was abroad.

 

[Dandyman]

Its sad to hear about her, or indeed anyone, dying so young,

but couldnt not understand when heard strangers sobbing on the radio..

And Max Clifford was on full form, making out thousands are going to line the funeral route.. and the whole thing is going to be on tv as well..

ffs. Has it come to this, when people grieve for someone they have never met
as if Jade was like a Princess Diana figure, or slagging her off for being perhaps not the brightest tool in the box, but then hailing her as some saviour of the cancer screening program..

In fairness she probably had less random cock than Diana.

Were said threads actually about her death, or the ghoulish media circus and public outpourings from people she had never met surrounding her final days/weeks etc?

3,000 a week die from cancer in this country, they are all tragedies to those connected to the deceased, but don't register a flicker in the Red Tops or internet.

Yesterday a 20 year old Rugby League player died in a match, no RIP threads on NSC, two weeks Tim Kretschmer killed 16 people, many of them young and totally innocent, in Germany, how did we react on NSC, by talking about Slade, Knight and the usual shite, we didn't give a flying f***.

The reaction to JG's death is disproportionate to the contribution she made to our lives (which, lets be honest, was zero), and many people find it (the reaction and mawkishness of politicians and fellow bandwagon hoppers) distasteful. It does not mean that many (if any) on this site wished her to die young from cancer, and I would have thought that that was clear in their posts.

Some would say it is distasteful to take the piss out of someone's death, but are they lampooning the death itself, or the hypocritical headlines in the press who have loved every second of the past few weeks, because it SELLS MORE COPIES OF THEIR RAGS. They know it, Max Clifford knows it, Jade Goody I suspect didn't.

Very good post

However, I would just like to reply to this part -

The reaction to JG's death is disproportionate to the contribution she made to our lives (which, lets be honest, was zero)

Because she did do such great (role modelling) things as -

This is my favourite -

Anyway - lets all move on...

Seeing how Jade has joined the "Forever 27" club she has surely taken on a new quasi religious status!

The Forever 27 Club



The Church of Jade:

Celebrant: Brothers and Sisters in Jade

All: Awright mate!

Celebrant: On this the holy feast day of the blessed Jade we are urged to look within ourselves and to our neighbour fo forgiveness of our sin through Jade as we say:

All:
Our Father, whoever he is
Hello its me again!
In Aquascutum
In Basildon
In Erith and in Laindon
Give us this day
Our ASBO tag
And forgive us our chavness
As we go around lakeside
In our Reebok trainers
And lead us not into college
But onto the BB show
For wine from the offie
The Vodka and the red bull
Endeavour never
Crouch end.

I shouldn't laugh but that is hilarious!

A friend of mine at work has said they've moved the Grand National forward by two hours as a mark of respect and not to clash with the funeral so people can watch them both.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Has anyone asked Insider if there will be a minutes silence at the MK Dons game as that is the day she is officially canonised...?

I think this may be an urban myth, the Grand National starts at 1615, well after her funeral. This sounds about the same time every year.

I feel sorry for Jade and probably won't forget her death simply because I am still numb with grief having just come back from England after burying my mother. I don't get all this national outpouring of grief though and remember when Diana died and thought it was all a bit pathetic to be honest. I mean, how can you grieve for someone you don't even know?

Hey man, really sorry to hear about your mum, 11 years since i lost mine, time helps.

Jade is a tragedy as any one in there 20s dying is. people feel for a young mum , knowing she was dying, and trying to provide for the kids.
What would you do.

If people want to change the standard of education we the lower working class are expected to progress from, then dont slag Jade off but look at the f***ing hopeless start she had.

 

[Alfred the greatx]

Jade, as we all are, was the random connection between a man and a women.

That random connection between 2 people makes some people on here think we should pay for the child to have the most expensive education money can buy, a palace to live in and unlimited expences to live there lives as a prince.

But other children that simply ask for a roof to live under and something to eat are villified as f***ing parasites.

Jade had to deal with this crap, her mother was too smashed to make her go to school, so what the f*** would you know about life the universe and everything if you had left school aged 11!
Laughing at people that had a lesser education than yourself is bullying and shows the real intention of the bully, I'm better than you.
If you'd had the shit life she had and the horrible start she had, would you have ended up with the money she had? Would your death have made the news at 10, would the prime minister have commented.
No chance, so slide your slimey class ridden heads back into your middle class shells and see her as an inspiration for others stuck in the underclass and not a parasite on society as the royals are.

 

[El Presidente]

see her as an inspiration for others stuck in the underclass

What exactly makes her an inspiration? The fact that she made a load of money? Should we therefore be inspired by a lottery winner, and rush out and buy a scratchcard in the hope of doing the same?

dont make me laugh, the "underclass" are not inspired. the attention she gets is from do goody middle classes, patronising her for exactly the reasons you highlight, while making themselves feel better that thank f*** they are better educated. you think the "underclass" buy OK magazine?

 

[Tooting Gull]

you think the "underclass" buy OK magazine?

No. They nick it.

Hmm, probably only cos she died a bit younger. But cervical cancer amongst young women can - can - apparently be brought on by a lot of very early sexual activity, in one's teens, say. Something which I suspect GMTV probably hasn't made much mention of.

In fact I heard (and it could be bolox) that she received abnormal smear test results when younger which she chose to ignore. Not quite so brave as she's been depicted, if that's true.

Going to the funeral then? Or grieving privately at home?

 

[fatbadger]

ffs. Has it come to this, when people grieve for someone they have never met as if Jade was like a Princess Diana figure.

Goody was as talented, as intelligent, and as useful as Spencer.

I will be roasting a whole hog on a spit, as my own personal tribute...
