Newspapers and magazines on the whole aren't self funding, they rely heavily on advertising.

The bigger the circulation the more revenue they can raise by demanding a higher price from advertisers.

People have a choice. They could all read the dry reporting of the Spectator and the Guardian. The vast majority prefer their news in bite sized chunks inbetween the boobs, bingo, (foot)balls...and celebrity blunders.

Yes, it is voyeurism, and very uncomfortable at that. So was Big Brother, which I never watched and know very little about this young lady, and how she became the most hated woman in India. Thought was quite funny really, but good publicity.

No matter what, we have to look at the good outcome this will have with our young female population, and already having a good effect. Hopefully will persuade the powers that be to lower the age for smear tests down a few years, and persuade all parents to have their teenage children put forward for the new jab available, so that it can be eradicated almost totally.

Whose to say what effect all this will have on her sons anyway, not set in stone. Children lose their mothers, and grow up to be sensible, well-rounded citizens, and not turn to yobbo behaviour, druggies, etc. Just the way Jade will be exiting does not mean that it will make much difference. I'm sure she has been a good mother, and taught them how to behave .... I don't think she ever did anything really terrible anyway.

1,000 young women die every year from this terrible cancer, and if the figures show a drop next year, sure it will be because of her.

oh well fair enough kate, lets canonise her, make her a saint.

The NHS and Cancer Research UK might as well take a breather then! Jade's got it covered.

Yah daft bat ...

Didn't mean that at all, although did come out that way.

No, steps are being made in many ways in this cancer through research, screening and the new injections, so will not all be down to her I agree ... sorry.

Feel that if one young girl has bothered to go for a smear test, where she wouldn't have before, and there are early signs of cell changes, which can be easily eradicated, then Jade has done a good job. Even she did not go back to the doctor when she got her first report of abnormalities; the young people's 'immunity' attitude I suppose.

My daughter, who is going through a programme of these preventative injections at the moment with her patients, and has worked on gynaecological wards, has described the symptoms, and believe me are not at all pleasant. Sure Margaret Pilkington will endorse this. Not the best of ways to die at any age.

Endorsed in full Katex. I have seen women die horribly with this nasty, but preventable and largely treatable disease.
It isn't something that is easy to watch, it tears families apart...and when I think of all the women who failed to attend for their smear test and colposcopy it grieves me.
Colposcopy is a more detailed test which is done when abnormal cells are found.

RIP Jade

So, no miracle recovery then! It's been a very surreal news story and it's ended in what must be the most poignant way - to have the two children (who's future she was trying to secure with all the media coverage) to lose thier mother on Mother's Day.

It really is a script waiting to be written.

It's very sad.

jaysay · 22-03-2009, 11:12

That was exactly my thoughts Gayle to die on mothers day, very very sad RIP

Lolly · 22-03-2009, 11:23

Those poor boys on Mothers Day of all days. I'm sick and tired of seeing people slag her off, she did what she did because of her sons. I would have took exactly the same path as her and milked everything for all I could knowing i'd be doing something that would see my children in a good education and safe and secure financially!

RIP Jade xxx
