brighton, actually
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..

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?

Does it now mean that there will be a title decider to take the vacant crown of 'The Nation's Favourite Racist' between Danielle Lloyd and Jim Davidson?

My thread shows hwat I thought. Fair play but she did show some remorse and seemed to have realised the error of her ways. I did say I was not her biggest fan but the threads about her death were disgraceful and I stand by that.

Sad news, but no more sadder than any other cancer death in this country. I didn't even know who Jade Goody was before she got Cancer, so why she deserves a 16 page pull-out in the sun, I will never know.

Also, Jack Tweed was let out of prison for his wedding, yes? Would a 'everyday' person get let out to get married? I'm not so sure.

Should he be let out for her funeral?
Should he of whacked a taxi driver round the mush?

:glare:

the threads about her death were disgraceful and I stand by that.

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.

My thaughts EXACTLY!!

I think Cancer is the WORST thing to happen to someone and I wouldnt wish it on anyone but I think the media circus surrounding Jade in the last few months has been shocking!!

The media have played on the 'I want to make money for my kids' thing and made loads of money from her!
