The Jade Goody business: a new low for Britain?

[JonnyHungwell]

Just wait until she does die - first it'll be the funeral, them a remembrance ceremony, a memorial garden etc. etc. --- followed by endless articles on how is Jack coping, squandering her money, being declared bankrupt, how he was shagging her friend whilst she was dying. Then the boys life will be tabloided forever and if they themselves get into any scrapes it'll be fair game for the media to go to town again - like most chips off the block they'll likely grow up fighting, boozing, being sick in the streets, crashing cars - and become famous for being famous, like most shite celebs in this country. This will run for the next 10 years, there'll be the Jade Goody Cancer Charity and Big Brother Minute Silence and black armband. It?s just starting, because there?s money in shite ? someone dying is another man?s living.

OK magazine have published their memorial issue, before she's even dead.

Can this sink any lower?

There's a book coming out as well. It says that "a percentage" (whatever that means) will be going to charity .....

I've just seen the moving tribute given by the sister of one of the soldiers killed in Northern Ireland recently on the TV. Someone who joined the army to defend our nation, if it came to it, someone of honour and worthy of respect. Watching this young lady give her tribute to her brother, which now leaves her an only child, was moving. Why is this not on the cover of Hello or OK Magazine, why not lots of money be given to this young soldiers family? Oh no, we wouldn't want to do something like that, would we? Instead we do it for this vile pig Goody. I makes me sick!

A reflection of the chav underclass this country now produces thanks to Thatcher.

Oh do behave, colonel.

You can say what you like about the Grocer's Daughter - but what about New Labour?

Didn't they ride to power on the crest of a wave in '97 promising that "things can only get better"? That the people of the Uk would have some sort of wonderful new deal, that they'd be "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" and all the rest of it?

Fact is that they've now had 12 years (twelve!) to turn things around, but have failed miserably on all counts: A burgeoning chav underclass, a benefits system that's out of control, virtually unfettered immigration, the yob culture, the 'binge drinking' culture, a legal system more obsessed with the rights of offenders than the rights of the law-abiding .... you get the picture.

To blame it all on Thatcher (when your beloved Labour Party have been at the helm for 12 years) is the lamest excuse ever.
