Yes Jade is of no real use, she has not found a cure for cancer, she is not part of the space programme, she did not win master mind (although she did good on eggheads).
She is poor white trash but she got a chance and she took it. She is mixed race with parents not fit to raise cats let alone kids.
But in today's world mediocre is the norm, we big up footballers as gods and the simpering bints that shag them as role models, we defend 13 and 15 year olds putting it about and having babies, we think people have a god given right to live off the state and we call anyone who dares to say it is wrong bigots.
Our youth run amuck emulating black US gangsters and 11 year old boys die on their way home from football caught up in some shoot out between rival scumbags, and we all shake our heads and say how sad, we then blame society instead of saying it is because we now accept the unacceptable for fear of being called raciest, bigot,non PC.
Every time you bye OK or Hello, or other low IQ rag you add to this culture. Little girls dress like street walkers because that's the trend, little boys pull up their hoodies and scare old ladies, if we say it is wrong we are wrong for infringing their human rights.
Jade saw a chance to give her kids a better chance in life and she took it, anyone here who says they would no do the same needs to think if that is true, would you sell yourself out in your final days for the sake of your children, to give them a chance to do better.
Nasty small minded people may say they will amount to nothing but who knows Jades kids might be the ones helping yours out of the gutter, they have their whole lives ahead of them and a clean slate.
When all is said and done a 27 year old mother is going to die, I know she will not be the only one but David Cameron's son was not the only disabled 6 year old to die this week either, posters on here are not the only ones to lose a husband/wife miscarry, have a cot death, but those are the ones we hear about, the ones we can as fellow human beings reach out to , say we feel for them, when most of the time we think there but for the grace of god go I and after saying how sad, poor you go and cook fish fingers for tea and not think about it again.
What ever anyone thinks of Jade Goodie she is a mother, she is young and she will die soon and painfully, no mother can say she does not feel compassion for this woman, ok if it was the likes of Karen Matthews then good riddance, but did Jade ever do anything to deserve the things that are being said about her, do you think Shilpa Shetti thinks oh good she is dying,I doubt it as shallow as she was I don't think she would wish this on Jade.
so when you kiss your kids good night and plan what you are going to do with them tomorrow or for their birthday, or what Easter egg you will get them, or where you will go this summer remember not every mother has that time, Jade does not.
I bet she does not give a stuff either about what a bunch of women who have nothing better to do with their time then sit on their PCs and talk on a faceless chat room have to say about her.
so you all just go at each other it is what mumsnet does best, and leave this tragic woman alone
