Mumsnet - please can you sort out all the Jade posts?

There's a big difference between watching the public death of Jade, and the soon to be televised funeral with an open jaw of fascination and surprise, and being a Jade hater though.

Nobody hates Jade on here, do they? But she's worthy of discussion surely? You don't decide to die in public and not be up for discussion. And for everyone the discussion is NOT 'I'm so upset, I feel so awful for her children' - some people like to discuss things differently than just say that.

If I say, my god, isn't this something, this Jade is Dead Circus - it doesn't make me a Jade hater.

"Jade haters"?

WTF are "Jade haters"?

I don't "hate" Jade Goody. I don't know Jade Goody.

There was a long discussion going on here about the media aspects of this matter before I came along. Presumably people have posted on this thread because other people had (understandable) issues with active convos being totally cluttered up with new threads about Jade Goody.

You are a strange person as far as I can tell.

WHO on here hates Jade? who's said that?

Jade-haters?

How can anyone hate someone they've never met and know nothing about?

"We don't generally delete things on the grounds of poor taste or even retrospectively delete things because someone, tragically, has died, because it really does become impossible to know where to draw the line"

Justine - however, you deleted two posts of mine which, while acknowledging the tragedy that Jade's death is to her family, went on to give my opinion of the public image she presented and how unacceptable I found it, and how I was outraged I was that se was being reconstructed in people's minds as someone who did good work in the world, and who was an example to young women everywhere. How does that work?

Woah Nellie! There's some serious biblical sh*t going on there.

Well, I guess it makes a change from the usual funeral address.

Rofl @justaboutback

are you sure it wasn't william blake? [drugs]

weeelll, I can accept saint in purely theological parlance, because technically speaking, as she was a baptized Christian, she qualifies.

But only if we're prepared to say Jonathan Aitken is a saint too, which I rather doubt.

An 'examplar of biblical proportions?'

What, like the Temple of Solomon, or something?

And a saint, Kay, don't forget he said she was a saint.

So my use of the word "hagiography" wasn't posturing, it was completely accurate. The world has gone mad.

Don't think an archbishop has commented, but the local vicar has made some, frankly, astonishing comments, about her being 'an exemplar of biblical proportions' and a 'genius deep within'.

I'm fairly WTF? about that sort of thing, tbh.

five live had a phone in about her this morning and there is apparently a sixteen page tribute in the sun. The editor said the only other time there had been tributes like that were for the queen mother and diana.

Jack tweed will most likely be back in jail by the end of the week so presumably we won't have to hear about him again, as this will all have blown over by the time he gets out

"could someone please tell me how you can ignore the jade stuff" to be fair, today I have only heard it mentioned briefly on the radio news every hour or so. I just bought a paper and there's about 6 pages (tabloid) and some of it is a bit mawkish.

There's some stuff about Jeff Brazier (Her exand father of her kids) in there which is a bit weird and there's a piece about Jack going for a chinese meal yesterday which seems a bit weird (I think they think it's odd he would have gone out with friends to get food) but I had to seek those stories out, they weren't in my face much.

But thatwas just my own pet rant . I agree, her dying was news. The fact that her family are arranging a funeral isn't. It would be strange if they weren't.

2shoes, was that exaggeration or has the archbishop really...?
[waits to be called gullible!]
I have to say I think this sort of stuff is more news that my own pet hate, football. Headline news (not the sports section) "The fans are excited as Middlesbrough prepare to take on Newcastle tonight". It's a scheduled match. It's a sodding sport. That to me is not news.

I do have the benefit of not being able to see the papers.

ut yes, Jade is currently in every news bulleting and the headline I woke up to this morning was "Jade's family are making preparations for her funeral." Why? Why is that news?

Well, at last, something approaching an interesting conversation on Jade Goodey. I must say that mumsnet reached a new low for me last night, especially with the threads suggesting it was all a moldie conspiracy. I was waiting for someone to suggest Cod had bumped Jade off.

However, I thought it best to ignore it - not much point in going on threads and saying: ladies, you are all disappointing me tonight, is there?
