[PillicockSatOnPillicockHill]

and do you know what

i wont have a bad word said about her

Poor girl

Shit parents and crappy childhood
YES she went in BB and acted like a fool and YES she went in BB a second ime and said some ignorant racist stuff

but she was 'ill educated' and she did not 'know better' but in her favour :

she educated herself

she learned her lesson

she apologised and meant it

I AM a fan of Jade

I like her a lot and feel much sadness at this vibrant and humour full life cut short

Her little boys were goign to have the mother she never had and i SO relate to that

so KISSES for Jade tonight and much love -sign in if you wish !

No dessention please - not on here!

i do look at the real world

i feel for the world

I feel for jade

How can anything be misplaced on mumsnet?

MN handags at dawn oooohhh dont diss me mate

This is no more mawkish then posting on some of the threads there have been on here when an MNer has lost a DH. We don't all know them either, but it doesn't stop people caring.

I'm no fan particularly, but i can understand why everyone get's emotional about this. She is SO young and she has young kids.

EVEYONE on MN should surely empathise with the scenario she is in. I don't care who she is, what she's done etc. I don't know her. But i can still feel sad for her.

My mum died when she was 21 with a 4 yo (me)and a 2 yo. My dd now is almost the exact age I was when my mum died.

The thought of leaving her in that way absolutely crucifies me. It truly is the worst thing i can imagine.

I feel desperately sad for EVERYONE in this postion. There is no need to make sarky remarks. Or to bring up stuff from the past.

Mrsfreud - are you suggesting that because a person is aware of Jade Goody's situation that person is de facto an idiot who only reads Hello? Not quite sure where you get that sweeping generalisation from - you know nothing about the moral position or actions of those posting on this thread. Why do you assume so much?

It really is a mystery to me why my sisters are so fucking awful about a woman just like us who is dying. She's not the only woman dying in the world today, personally I'm already breaking my heart over a woman I know with a life limiting illness. Hers is not an exclusive position - but that doesn't mean people can't express emotion about this. It says nothing about them - and so much about those of you who criticise it. It makes yo look small and mean - is that your intention?

drusilla, I was going to say exactly the same thing.

Portofino - I'm sorry to read of your loss.

I think her racist comments were the BB editors dream and blown out of all proportion. I feel dreadful for her and think the crap that life has thrown at her is unfair and undeserved.
I hope she makes as much money as possible for her little boys before she dies and that their father (who seems like a nice bloke) is involved in their lives more than the idiot she married.
I think, for me, she represents every mothers fear, every person with cancer. She makes me sad because I can relate to her as a mother and as a woman. I can't imagine missing out on my children growing up.... so sad.

MrsF you assume people read heat or whatever just because they feel sympathy for Jade? Lol tbh, maybe YOU need to get out more.

Northern ths is like Diana all over again, individuals had to follow the party line or else they were "small and mean". Consequently it looks like the whole of the UK were in mourning when we bloody well werent.

This is the same..yes the first time I heard about her I thought it was terribly sad, but now after a week of her on the frontpages its not sad anymore but manipulative.

I don't appreciate being manipulated by the media i.e. Mr Clifford to make money. I also think its sad and shallow to see intelligent people like Mns being manipulated without even realising how shallow they sound.

There is worse crap going on than J Goody in the world..it is the excessive amount of money making print spent on it that is disgraceful.

Jades mum makes me laugh.......I really like her,and find it hard to imagine her giving jade such a bad childhood. Jeff seems to want her out of the kids lives. He grudgingly will let her see them, but it's been reported thAt once jade has gone, then jack will be unable to see them ever again.

as bad as BB is plenty tits watch it with accompanying BB threads on MN.the tits watching BB have a shared responsibility,the commissioning editors think they are feeding the gluttonous viewer appetite for schleb detritus.maybe they are

jade has wronged
she is human and flawed

could never understand the Diana hysteria at all, this doesn't seem the same to me..there willl be people who wallow in mawkishness, but it;s reasonable to feel very sorry for her and her family - it could so easily be happening to one of us.

brie,jade has given her account of a brutalising and violent childhood at hands of her mum and being palced in foster care by mum

Thank you Northernlurker! It was very long time ago.....I guess i just know what it is to grow up with out your mum there. And the sad thing is I can't remember much about her. And my sister remembers nothing at all.

I hope Jade's boys have a better memory of their mum, and it's not one of loads of complete strangers slagging her off about something she once said.

Yes Maryit is reasonable to feel sorry...but how many acres of newsprint should we spend feeling sorry. How does one woman's battle with cancer outweigh other crap going on. We can probably all think of someone we knoe who has kids and cancer...I'm sure they would appreciate a few million raise dby the public to look after their kids when they have gone.

If people really care they could stop buying newspapers and magasines and donate the money to the macmillan nurses or some such.

Mawkish sentiment is bloody useless and self serving.

I remember crying when diana died, might have been cos my FIL had just died.

MrsFreud, Diana's death WAS tragic. The overall public response to it was of course completely over the top. It's one thing to get completely hysterical, camp out to sign remembrance books/see the funeral procession/throw flowers at the hearse etc, and quite another to feel (quiet) but quite genuine sympathy for a young mother who is going to die very soon and leave 2 small boys.

teeth sucking and moaning about JG coverage is pointless and self serving and shallow too

mawkish? no it's not

it is feeling

i did give to macmillan nurses encouraged y mumsnetters

i dont buy heat

Sometimes I think we cling to things that bind us together. When Diana died we (most of us) felt united with a fellow countrymen, it wasn't about personal loss it was a sense of shared feeling. A young woman dying and leaving two children behind. It was the stupidity of a car accident, it could have been one of us. This is the same.

Sorry - meant to add - which was the sane and normal response to Diana's death also. I didn't know her. It is sad that she died young. It is awful for her children. If you don't want to read about such stuff in the newspapers, don't buy them.

with our not a fellow!
