It's tragic that a young mother has died.

I just hope the lingering stench of Jade Goody's cause célèbre fades sooner rather than later.

Hey, tell you what,I didn't like her either, but I think you have a lot to learn about a bit of compassion for your fellow man, live and let live Blazey. If you don't like the media circus don't get involved , simples!



PS those reminder letter for smear tests are there for a reason ladies.....

Jade Goody?
On a personal level I have no feelings one way or another about her or anything she may have done. I'm not about to start casting stones at someone else. Its terrible someone, anyone that age loses a life

The impact for me around this is the uptake in smear invitations that are flowing in.
I probably averaged about 8 smears a week a month ago
Yesterday I did 12 in a day. This has been the case now for several weeks.
Women who have avoided, delayed and consistently non-attended for this test are phoning for appointments and turning up. (this and smoking appointment are the ones people don't turn up for most regular)
Some of these women have had previous smears showing abnormal cells and still haven't returned until now, for follow up
So, its motivated people to look after themselves and take it seriously.

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

I've had a smear test even though I'm under 25, because I had a problem that I was worried about and fortunately all was fine.

The problem with lowering the age is that it was raised in the first place because the cervix isn't guaranteed to be fully developed before 25 and its not unusual for abnormal cells to show up on the tests and it causes unnecessary worry and wasting of time and money in the majority of cases.

I'm currently not old enough to have a smear test at the doctors unless I've got good reason to be concerned about my health. I had mine at the Brook clinic in Blackburn town centre, and I let it be observed so that other women could be trained to carry them out.

Lots of my friends sadly don't go for them even though many have been sexually active from around the age of 14. As they're the same age as me, that is 6yrs without any screening, which I think is pretty terrible but at the same time now the rules have changed on the age you have them, they're mostly going to be turned away anyway.

There's never a black and white solution to problems like these and naturally people are going to get ill. Many will recover, some will die young. Fortunately the deaths from cervical cancer has decreased over the years and yes, maybe the exposure to Jade Goody's story will save a few more.

What I think is sad is that Jade Goody continued to work whilst she was dying. Now there are people who are saying 'well anyone would have done it' but the fact of the matter is that it was only the sheer amount of money that she was getting for it that made her carry on. The 'average person' equivalent would be taking your children to work with you in order to still make money and still spend time with them, and quite frankly most people just wouldn't do it. So she wants her children privately educated, don't we all? Sadly though most people just have to make do with what they've got and accept that there just isn't time to waste on material things.

I doubt her boys would have ever begrudged their mum for being unable to provide them private education because she was dying. They would have loved her all the same and will probably wish they had more time with her, everyone wishes they had more time with their loved ones before they died. And I don't doubt that they would wish they had more time with her away from the cameras and that she'd worked less. And that is what bothers me about the whole thing. The fact that people think these boys are going to really care all that much about the money and the education when they've lost something that can't be replaced and there is a hole that just can't be filled with anything.

What a sad world if we think its great that someone worked til the moment they died and just took their children along with them most of the time. I'd be really upset if my mum felt the need to do that for me and private education certainly wouldn't be something I'd see much value in in comparison to the time I could have spent with her without the cameras and the constant attention.

21 funeral cars seems rather a lot....The nicest and most moving funeral was in my opinion Dusty Springfield's,,,

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

she could ensure enough money was set aside in high interest rate savings for her kids so they'd have plenty of money and generally it'd look a hell of a lot better.

Blazey, could you tell me where these high interest saving accounts are?
I would be really interested.

And we are not party to what money(if any), Jade donated to charity......she may just have wanted to do that privately.

Have you got some inside information or are you just assuming that she did not benefit any charities?
Anyway, Charity begins at home.

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

I see i hasn't taken long has it, the jail bird husband isn't going to miss out, he's going to write a kiss and tell book about his time with Jade. What interests me, is not in what he's doing, but the fact he can actually write in the first place:(

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

what a ****** eh?

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

As a little lad once said in a TV avert Exactly

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

He doesn't have to be able to write, it will be done for him by a "ghost" writer. Some hack, probably employed by Max Clifford, will write it all out, he will read it (if he can read) and agree it and - hey presto! - he's written a book. :rolleyes:

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

hey do you know the bloke you are slagging off? ..I don't like the look of him but then again Jade Goody ****ed me off.. she is dead..and now it's the same old kak on here..slag people off that we no nowt about.

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

Jack Tweed has been approached about a book documenting his time with Jade......he has turned it down..........

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

nice to hear that.. if it is true then it will let alot of people down on here that would be happy to slag him off.. and then read the book via the daily mail or whatever means and then stick the boot in. :rolleyes:

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

I know enough to know he may not be able to atted the funeral because he maybe back in the nick Mancie:rolleyes:

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

Not true.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Tweed to attend Goody's funeral

Even the assaulted taxi driver in question agreed with the date being moved. He said the Jack should go to jail but not just yet, and that he had the right to say goodbye to his wife.

I dont really warm towards Jack, but we know nothing about what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe Jade told him to write a book? We just don't know. As for her will until official documentation is released then I will be reserving judgement.

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

Going to prison should mean you are stripped of all freedoms such as funerals of loved ones. That's one of the things that makes it tough. To rearrange his date of being locked up (or any part of the judicial procedure after conviction) is absolutely wrong.

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

Got to agree with this. People have had to attend funerals in handcuffs, so it does seem very wrong to defer sentencing just because of who he is.

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

Ain't that always been the case Bernie, like the Lord who had is sentence quashed even though he only got a ridiculous sentence in the first place. Its not what you know its who you know:(

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

Just to make it clear I don't agree with the ruling that the court date has been moved. He should get treated like everyone else, and not get any special treatment. He did the crime so he must do the time, as the saying goes.

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

this jade goody death thing is dragging on a bit isnt it ?

im sure she was pronounced brain dead 20 years ago :D

Re: Jade Goody-Is it voyeurism?
 

.......and after that comment i think we should leave this thread now............:(
