I noticed that OK magazine has already got it's"Jade Goody Official Tribute Issue, 1981-2009"on sale.

A bit premature to say the least.

I'll probably be getting the blame for that one too

What's the point of a tribute to a hopeless under achiever who's only fame in life is for being as thick as pigshit?

Am sitting in a London office today. A colleague down here has just said, "It wouldn't surprise me one single bit if there was absolutely bu66er all wrong with her and the whole thing was just a publicity stunt. This time next year she'll be selling recovery pills and training with the Royal Marines! I bet she does 45 minutes on the treadmill every night"

Tickety boo the more i hear from you the more i am convinced that you were the person in her room with a hammer.

Jade Goody has died in her sleep following a public battle with cancer, her publicist Max Clifford said.

Hopefully there will not be any stupid comments made about her passing. After all, it is a public forum and it represents an area that means something to many people. Comments posted on the Kintyre Forum are viewed by readers outside the area as the opinion of residents of the area.

I'm all for personal opinions, but not about the death of someone. It doesn't matter what your opinion of someone is, after a death, respect must be shown, so if nothing nice to say, best to shut up.

Well, it's now come to censorship on the Kintyre forum . . .

Never having been one that responded to 'shut the fcuk up' I will now offer my comment. It is immensely sad that a young woman has died and it's heartbreaking that these wee boys have lost their mummy on such a poignant day. Nevertheless, it has still not stopped me thinking how sad it all became ghoulish entertainment for the masses.
And I'm entitled to that opinion daftdog, whether you like it or not.

GG - I don't think Daftdog's comments were aimed at censorship per se. I thought it was stating the bleeding obvious i.e. now is not the time to come on and start having a personal go at someone who has just died, regardless of what you thought of them. I've tried my utmost to ignore the media coverage and have succeeded to a large extent.

I think Daftdog maybe meant comments like this one

"It wouldn't surprise me one single bit if there was absolutely bu66er all wrong with her and the whole thing was just a publicity stunt.

Whether we liked her or whether we didn't it is a huge waste of a young life and very sad for her wee boys.

I really, REALLY want to understand you but it is a public forum and folk are entitled to give their opinions. I myself haven't had any 'personal go' at the poor girl but I have said a lot on the issues around both the celebrity culture and the way I think Goody has been manipulated by those around her. If truth be told, I actually quite liked her impulsive, bubbly spirit which she seemed to carry with her right to the end. I remember when she was derided for being stupid and ignorant and feeling humble at that because the poor lassie was never at school having to look after her mother as a child. It confirmed my absolute belief that education is one of our most precious commodities (Jade Goody understood this and always vowed, even before she was terminally ill, that her sons would be well educated although it's sad she thought the only way to do this was by private schooling). But she lived by personal choice in the glare of publicity and so people will have opinions of her. Of course it's disrespectful to 'have a go' at someone when they die but we don't know her, do we?
One of my favourite people in 'showbusiness' Stephen Fry said this of her today: 'Jade lived life under a magnifying glass. Magnifying glasses magnify (obviously) but they distort and they burn.' So true of her life, I think. She seemed happy being famous but there must have been many times she viewed it as a poisoned chalice. I had a tiny wee taste of being in the public eye years ago and My God, never again. The media is so fickle and cruel and before she was diagnosed, don't forget this media derided and deceived her.

And, aside, you will have to come and tie my hands to a chair when the so-called Iron Lady finally shuffles off her mortal coils. As I say, folk are entitled to their opinions.

Of course everyone is ENTITLED to an opinion. Whether that opinion counts for anything is another matter .
