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

[PussinJimmyChoos]

Its horrible. Regardless of what she did/didn't do, she was a mother. We are all mums and God forbid we will ever have to go through something like this, knowing we will leave our kids behind and not see them grow up.

Threads like this are not in the spirit of Mumsnet and yes, I can hide them if I want, but to be honest, would like to see them deleted. I know policy is to let the debates run with minimum intervention, but tonight its going too far

Thanks,

Puss

No I can be blamed I have never agreed with a Mail article in my life. I should know better.

Bump for kingprawnjalfrezi, Seeker and other people who want to discuss the media surrounding Jade and who don't want to piss people off in the thread where people are expressing sympathies to Jade's family

have just found this...can;'t believe that there is such hatred about and from fellow mothers .

there is. I wonder if Mumsnet HQ could merge all the horrid threads into one?

"I think the best part of any post I have seen so far was QS saying "she was not a nobody - she was an anybody" and that is absolutely it - she took the fact that even the apparently dimmest and (at the time) least good looking people could "make it" on TV - how many people then thought - "if she could do it, then so could I!"

yes, i think that is true. i think it's what gets people on Jeremy Kyle every day. i don't actually think it's a good thing.

and as for the 'hating', where is it? actually where is it, rather than just 'oh boo hoo i am shocked'?

Wow MM = Madeline McCann?

I THOUGHT MM was me.

your initials are FO, surely?

Oh yes so they are

Sorry. I am very thick.

Aitch, I don't think that part of what I said was a Good Thing either - it was designed to lead into the next part.

well, you're saying that her being identifiable brought about a rise in smears, which is a good thing. but the downside of that 'if she can do it' attitude is the Jeremy Kyle, 'i'll do anything to get on telly' one, because they know they can do it, because jade did. you can't isolate the jade effect on smear figures from teh wider jade effect.
