Would like to know if max clifford is still taking his percentage from deals he is setting up ?

Just out of interest, why wouldn't he?

As someone who has been described as " a caring and thoughtful man who devotes a lot of time and money in assisting charities and those less fortunate"it would in my opinion be a bit like taking blood money if he is taking a percentage.

By your reply I take it you would be taking a percentage if you were in his shoes ?

....it would in my opinion be a bit like taking blood money if he is taking a percentage.

OK, so let me get this straight? Anyone who charges a terminally ill person for their services is taking 'blood money'? Do you think the venue for the wedding laid on it's services for free? Should all the waiting staff hand back their wages? Do you think Tesco's say to her "don't worry Jade, these are on us"? Not quite sure where you would draw the line?

Or is it just Max Clifford you have the issue with? Lets not forget that Jade is a millionaire, so not really sure she falls into the typical bracket of "less fortunate" unless, of course, we're talking about health.

Probably one of the the last thing a terminally ill person needs is that kind of pity/patronising attitude. "It's OK, you've not got much longer to go, these are on the house!"

Perhaps Max Clifford should also be afforded the right to decide which charities he does, or does not, donate to?

He's a publicist, he's there to make her money, to negotiate the best possible deals on her behalf, to use his knowledge of the media to ensure she raises as much money as possible before she dies. So in my mind he's entitled to be paid the going rate for his profession, just like everyone else involved in her life. So, on that basis, yes - I believe he should be taking his percentage.

[Ticketty Boo!]

Like him (and his job) or not, Max Clifford is at the very top of his profession and is possibly the best person in the country (or this side of the Atlantic?) at his job.

What's not widely known is the phenomenal amount of work he does for London's Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

Yes all that is understood,but Max claims to be a close friend of Jade.So on that basis I certainly could not make money off a dying friend.Maybe that is where the line should be drawn.

[Sheik Yir Erse]

.....but Max claims to be a close friend of Jade.

I'm sure Max Clifford probably claims to be a close friend to ALL of his clients/customers. I'd hazard a guess at that won't stop him making his living from them as well. That is simply his job.

Can't look at a paper without finding somthing about Jade in it.
If its not the front page, your sure to find it inside.

Its like the story's about Maddie McCann, they get boring.

Well said Sheik ...you always manage to put it across exactly what I was thinking but I just could not find the right words .

Because you agree doesn't mean it's right

[Sheik Yir Erse]

Because you agree doesn't mean it's right

I don't think Pans Lass actually said I was right, just that she happened to agree with me. Not quite sure this is a 'right vs. wrong' discussion, just different perspectives.

Like Panslass, i thought that was pretty good

[A Horse called Juan Face]

She's a total walloper, but she doesn't deserve to die. And anyone that says something like karma is being absolutely mental. Do you not know these programmes are edited to make people look how the producers want them to look? People insult me all the time, and I do it back, but do I want any of them to die of something like cancer? Of course not. No doubt the British media will be going over the score, but it's not because of who she is, it's because of who she is plus the age she is. Granted it's a sad indictment of the culture of celebrity but that's not really the issue here is it? And as for the comments about her not spending time with her children, don't most parents have a job to go to? At that time, that was her job, her career that she was trying to protect. She may be a millionaire but that doesn't necessarily mean much in this day and age.
