Jade GoodyFor all she may or may not have done or said wrong in the past, the poor girl, cannot imagine how she must feel knowing she will not be around to see her boys grow up, anyone with a heart will agree I'm sure.

Saw on another forum the amount of folk giving the poor lass laldy,let's hope they never get into a similar position as her.

She is a dislikeable, ignorant and foul-mouthed woman ... but I wouldn't wish this on her! I know what it's like to lose a parent while still very young ... I really feel for her kids!

Yes it's a shame and very sad, but I think dying is a personal and private thing and should not be televised.
Wendy Richard was buried yesterday after suffering for many years with cancer.
She was a well known and well loved actress, but her illness and death were not turned nto a circus.
On the other hand, Jade's only claim to fame was her foul mouth.
I have every sympathy with Jade and realise how dreadful she must be feeling both physically and pschologically, but the constant media attention is, while giving her the fame she desperately wanted, at the same time is taking away her dignity.

Just look at who Ms Goody's publicist is ... Max Clifford ... and you understand this unattractive mess is probably down to him as well! 
Can't stick the man!

Yes while I have every sympathy for Jade and her boys and it really is awful. What I cannot stand is the day by day hour by hour media attention. It is pretty nauseating. No wonder that poor French woman turned up at her Bedside weilding a hammer. Ok Jade knew she had to make the most of the terrible situation and secure money for her boys, no one can blame her for that given the circumstances. Surely its time however to draw the line and have no more of this on our TV's or newspapers.

Yes, It's becoming like a reality TV show and just so awful. I wonder just what effect it is having on other poor women who are in exactly the same position.

I agree with you, although I prefer the word "children" and not "kids".

Sorry, but just want to say, what a sad Mothers Day this will now be for those 2 wee boys, obviously NO DAY is a good day to lose a parent, that poor girl was 27 years old,and yes she was not the best educated person in the world, but did not desserve to die and leave her 2 precious boys Motherless, a very sad day, may she rest in peace, God Bless her.

I think the Last post sums it all up. Why did they wait 2 weeks to hold the funeral anyway - another 2 weeks of OK magazine and media hype.
Thank God its at a end.

Alas, it's far from it.
Sadly, the UK is afflicted by a deluge of unwarranted (and unwanted), Hello! magazine-driven, overly sentimental emotional cripples who are constantly searching for a Diana replacement; so when a specimen like Goody comes along, they latch on it with both hands, and get their opportunity for a new 'Diana Moment'.
So, look forward to a film about Goody's benighted life, along with some simpatico member of the illiterati bringing out a book on her life and another needless session of national self-immolation as we 'mourn' some loud-mouth Essex bint with a fine line in racism.
Only England could raise an illiterate, inarticulate, bumptious, irascible, foul-mouthed racist harridan with anger-management issues to the status of minor deity.
The entire circus has been genuinely undignified and is a poor reflection of our collective now overly sentimentalised values and inability to judge what's valuable from what's unimportant.

My issue's not with Goody, per se; it's with the fawning and cringing masses who've now elevated her to the status of something which in life she patently was not. She was an ill-bred Essex fishwife with no sense of proportion, nothing more.
The tragedy of Goody is not that she's dead, though that's regrettable, it's that she ever made it on to our TV screens in the first place. What statement does it make of what we deem worthwhile when vast swathes of the nation are now collectively falling over themselves to outdo each other in mourning?
Pathetic doesn't even begin to cover it.
