Good, now I can pay for my petrol without seeing her plastered all over the newspaper racks.

 

[Melton Fox]

I'm guessing Clifford had something to do with her hanging on until Mother's Day to make a lovely story.

At least the whole sorry, nigh on pathetic episode is all over.

The least surprising thing in the world is that this has a thread on the TBboard.

The woman was a racist, self-obsessed media whore. I've been turning off news programs all morning. The next step must be an Elton John song and then sainthood.

sums up celebrity britain. people face up to death everyday, people die everyday. I've been to two funerals in the past fortnight. we don't need all this crass media coverage

good riddance.

While it always tragic to see someone die from a terrible disease at such a young age, i cannot understand how someone like her can achieve such celebrity. A no mark with a big gob. Even selling her own demise to the end. Exactly as you say FIF, just sums up what is wrong with the country.
I wonder how much wedge Max Clifford will be donating to cancer research?

and how soon he ditches the kids. How long is he on a retainer?

Makes you wonder if they will be allowed to mourn and then live their lives in private. I suspect however that the poor sods will keep cropping up in the likes of Hello. She will probably have set something up with Clifford to keep the money coming in and he can keep taking his %.

 

[City Fan]

What's the betting that the funeral will be on Living TV Channel (ironic!), and there will be a series of programmes showing the build up?

Fair enough she wasn't my favourite "celebrity" but the whole story is a complete tragedy. There was definite over-exposure yes, but she tried to do the right thing by making as much money as possible for her children. We knew her battle was going to be lost soon, but how heartbreaking it is for her kids that its on Mothers Day. I for one hopes Jade rests in peace.

Bollocks! I missed it, is there a replay later on?

It's no more of a "complete tragedy" than every other mother who goes through this every day.

Difference is, she was raping the thick British public for every penny she could before she died, others suffer in silence and dignity.

Rest in peace or rot in hell, I couldn't give a **** so long as the whole sorry episode is over.

 

[Darth Vodka]

truly she was "the chav of hearts"

Sorry but Jade was already a millionaire before this happened, she didn't need to make anymore money for her kids.

 

[drummindefender]

Apparently Gordon Brown is "deeply saddened"......

As is cameron

I heard Max Clifford say that this was for the financial future of her kids and the nation's women.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

She was 27 and a mother of 2 young children. No age, or way to go either. I couldnt give a shit if she whored herself out or how much her publicised Max Clifford made her do it. I would get all the money i could for my surviving family in a similar situation.

Also, her publicising of it has caused a huge rise in the number of women being checked for cancer, which is surely nothing but a good thing?

Has it really? Or are you just spouting something that you would expect to be true?

I am now of the opinion you know somebody who wasn't aware of the dangers of cancer before Jade Goody contracted it and that person has now been for a check. Would I be correct?
