Reality Shows
Jade Goody is gone and the tributes pour in from the same rent-a-quotes who condemned her for her outburts against Shilpa Shetty. Politicians are always desperate to associate themselves with popular culture in any way they can. Sometimes though Guido despairs of the priorities of spin, the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition today paid warm tribute to a deceased reality TV star with her own perfume fragance. At the same time three soldiers, sent to war by them, returned in coffins from Afghanistan unremarked.
make’s you sick, don’t it………………………
politicians = opportunists = cynics = *****
Yes, it does make you sick. This nation used to have a well-deserved reputation for silent fortitude in the face of adversity. Now we are hooked on celebrity tragedies we can all weep about in public. Life has become a fifth-rate soap opera.
I am surprised Gordo is not arranging a State Funeral.
She was just a media created freak, and created out of bad taste.
More thought for the soldiers who died for ???????????
Sums up Brown’s Britain. For a young woman who has had little education, she achieved ‘celebrity’ status because millions of sad people tuned into Big Brother on the off chance that she could have performed some sort of sexual gymnastics for the cameras.
As for Brown, he cannot resist jumping on a moving hearse, unless of course it bears men whose deaths in action.
For once something I can agree with, so hear-hear. This was a star who made her name by wallowing in ignorance, renewed her fame with bullying and racism, then sealed her death by ignoring medical advice. She should be a warning to others, not lionised as a latter-day Florence Nightingale.
And let’s hope loony bishop Jonathan Blake – who compared Goody literally and unironically to a biblical saint – gets the pillorying he deserves. Perhaps to end your post, brief details of the names and achievements of the fallen offers would be in order, Guido?
She called Shilpa a poppadom is that “racism”, nevermind it’s not like I give a fuck what wet Hunts think anymore.
I was sickened that Gay Gordon paid tributes, then more sickened Cameron bothered to try to out-do Gordon and pay tributes as well. Bloody opportunists.
I just hope Jade put her money in a good trust, keep Darlings hands off of the money she got for her boys. At least Jade is in a better place without these politicians.
Gay Gordo ‘pays tribute’ to appear human – doesn’t particulary matter who the deceased is or what they did.
Cameron ‘pays tribute’ (“pays tribute”: a sick-making phrase in itself, now become cliche) so that the conservatives don’t look, or cannot be accused of being elitist – an extention of the ‘Toff’ charge.
And driving the whole bandwagon is the ‘Tabloid Journalism’ practised by all the media, whether writing for the ‘red tops’ or not, whether broadcasting for commercial outlets or the stagnant lagoon that is the BBC.
That’s why I don’t bother buying any of the ‘newspapers’ anymore. Have not bought one in years and don’t miss a thing.
@Number 6
Same here – don’t miss the papers at all, and hundreds of pounds saved into the bargain.
Are these the very same politicians who condemned her for alleged racism and wanted Big Brother to be banned?
How the bandwagon quickly changes….
Fuck Jade Goody.
I’m sickened by the outpouring of platitudes. Fuck sake, just the mere mention of the bint gets people tearful!
How about everyone remembers what a waste of fucking space she was, rather than now thinking of her as “Saint Jade Goody” just because she got cancer?
Fucking hell, what about all the other people with cancer who aren’t shameless millionaires who can afford to relax in private wards and plush homes surrounded by a team of doctors? What about those who have to hold down a job to pay the fucking bills, while raising a family, while keeping a home, and while being fucking treated? How do they measure up if that Hunt Goody is such a fucking inspiration?
Stupid bastards.
extremely well put!
Spot on. Quite what all this adulation for a professional ignoramus with racist tendencies says about the ‘Great British Public’ I’m not so sure.
One report stated that 1000 women a year die of cervical cancer. So 2 others died without fanfare on Sunday, 3 today, 3 tomorrow……
Indeed. The only worthwhile thing this ugly slag ever did was to die, and that didn’t happen early enough.
Spot on, after watching my partner attempting to get help with terminal cancer and being told to get back to work. this whole episode has made me sick. Like others I now do not touch newspapers and turn off any programmes that mention her. Sickening.
Even you aren’t immune though Fawkes- you had to mention her too didn’t you?
Why not just metion the soldiers?
He did. Its in the red bit. Was that a late addition?
Fawkes doesn’t give a shit about dead soldiers unless they’re Israeli.
Anonymous, please fuck off in short jerky movements. The point is well made. Gordon utters platitudes from the safety of the Commons on the Wednesdays when he turns up, seeing (or just hearing that he had the balls to attend, no cameras) him contemplating the return of the bodies of young men he sent to fight and die for his bust foreign policy would be…
Oh just fuck off, you make me annoyed.
The only positive thing that can be said about the young tart was that she somehow managed not to write the now almost compulsary book “My Fight with Cancer”.
I can only put this down to the fact that she could not spell “fite” proper.
Just as I can not spell complusery!!!
Compulsory perhaps?
I think it falls to a three way fight between the mother, the husband and the publicist for that “honour”. Perhaps all three could have a crack at coming up with their own version of “The Jade I Knew & Her Brave Fight” – I’m sure there are enough ghost writers out there who are up to the task.
Watch this space. Max Clifford will get at least three books out of this. Meanwhile, Jade Goody will be spotted two years from now, having a Tia Maria on a beach in Goa, with Richey Manic.
This isn’t your much touted ‘Guidoisation’ of politics?
In a sense, sadly.
It would be priceless if the late Ms Jade Goody had received advice from Max Clifford and had her financial adviser to set up a trust to avoid IHT, and McTwat Brown cannot touch her estate.
its not just the politrickians that make me sick, but the endless meedya coverage. I find myself thinking thank christ the bitch dead, at least she can rest in peace, but thanks to the shallow minded and worthless money-grabbers, hangers on and money leeches desperate to suckle from this constant air time and print coverage cash cow (now corpse); we continue to suffer from the endless mugshots and up-to-the-minuite coverage of the ex-reality nobody. This isn’t the end, but the beginning of the end; oh hail thee more endless coverage and puke inducing tributes of a foul mouthed, ugly chav made famous for being those three things BEFORE she started drinking on live TV.
Those soldiers died doing their jobs in a high risk enviroment and deserve the dignity offered by their comrades and more than the little press coverage. But what about the people who die in wards up and down the country, without dignity, without their needs cared for, the unknown tragic last glimpses of people who have lived in all walks of life and contributed far more, who drowned in the putrid depths of our National New Labour Triage System. No attention, little love, to fade away in pain, in a bed of your own shit and blood, not always common, but enough to surpass the other meaningless statistics whos causes are lavished money and red tape from above.
and thats without mentioning those who are ignored to die, with little thought of them as patients, only statistics. The family unaware.
R.I.P Ida ‘Betty’ Goodman
McSnot hates the military, they demand money for things like bullets and guns and EVEN fucking body armour. The cheek of the bastards!!!
The soldiers went not unremarked by the good OCs of Faringdon and a number of other places en route. As usual.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Goody was a loud-mouthed exhibitionist and slob who represented everything wrong with Britain today – gleeful anti-intellectualism, the dumbing-down of culture, the expectation of instant wealth and the pursuit of ‘fame’ as an end in itself. She made ignorance an aspiration for many – thank fuck she’s gone.
And she was a fucking ugly cow to boot.
Couldn’t have put it better myself. This is Britain 2009, and Jade Goody’s greatest legacy will be that she held a mirror up to Britain.
Fat, ugly, stupid, racist, talentless, married to a violent criminal.
And a multimillionairess in modern Britain.
No wonder the streets are full of chavs
Oh deary, deary me…..
A woman, who was nothing less than a ‘chav’, a complete no hoper, who gained notoriety all because of her ignorance, looking like a pig and getting her clothes off in a wannabe, reality TV show.
However, thanks to all the other chavs and Neets spawned by ‘Blair’s Britain’, they created the monster that was Jade Goody. The very fact that her cancer and subsequent “end story” has been front page news, really shows just how sick and broken Britain our country is. Worse still for the Prime Minister to comment on this in Parliament, shows just how out of touch they are with reality, the public and the job that they are supposed to be doing. How many soldiers have died in the wars and yet not one mention in Parliament?
Sad, sad Britain, then again, I don’t watch TV and very rarely pick up a broadsheet or tabloid as most news is found on the Internet in places that I know won’t be part of the left wing, government controlled main stream media.
Expect this to still be in the news, along with that other media whore – Diana.
“How many soldiers have died in the wars and yet not one mention in Parliament?” I believe they go through the motions of pretending to care right at the start of Prime Minister’s Question Time.
On that note I’m wondering now whether the PM is going to open with a tribute to the three servicemen who died defending the interests of this country in a godforsaken hell-hole of Jade Goody “whose brave fight against incurable cancer has been an inspiration to us all” etc ad nauseum.
oops – godforsaken hell-hole or Jade Goody…
I doubt that very much. Not a word will be spoken of them. You can judge what it will be like from a previous BBC Question Time(one of the few I’ve watched in the last 12 years) where a member of the audience said, at the time of the Jade Goody debacle, that although it was a shame, would the prime minister show sympathy for the soldiers killed in Afghanistan that day? Of course the audience remained silent, appalled that a woman would think that British soldiers lives, who defend their country are worth more than a talentless, cancer ridden chavette.
The usual spiel came out of the panel, saying how they were all thinking of Jade and how much good work she’d done for cancer awareness. Of course the audience had multiple orgasms.
The UK has turned into a celebrity worshipping, football mad, illiterate moron creating cesspit. Our country has turned into the very worst that America creates and I can’t see it getting any better under Conservative when nuLabour are launched into space, to reside on Planet Pluto for a very long time.
When you look at the NuLab education system it’s going to get far worse. If you are thick, have a sense of entitlement (everyone gets A* now!) and want to be famous but can’t be arsed to work on a talent then JG was your idol. I’ve lost count of the gum-chewing fuckwits I’ve seen reading her biography on the train (before she was diagnosed). They liked her because she was just like them. That’s what you should be afraid of; there are hundreds of thousands of clones still out there and they all want to be in OK!
Millions.
Reading? was that following a finger and mouthing letters when gum allowed?
I see there are 2 more biographies about her nauseous life, and they’re the top 2 on the Play.com preorder list.
Jesus wept…
Reckon she had the common sense to directly pay the money into a kid’s account. It’d be a terrible shame if all her hard work in the last few weeks of her life got a great big 40% taken off it by Zanu…
Gordon will surely have to rush emergency legislation through to prevent this risk.
In a sense Jade was a brilliant capitalist using every bit of possibility she had to her own and her families advantage… so she didnt do any social good, neither do most businesses.. I liked her and its sad she got ill and died so young..
Jade has probably saved the lives of a few hundred women by drawing attention, very publicly to the importance of getting your fanny checked out. God bless you Madam.
Nope. Jade was a cretinous chav who fell into the clutches of people like Max Clifford who exploited her for their own gain and who will continue to exploit her now she’s compost.
Yup, she was a silly racist, thick bint.
But, by her latter actions she raised awareness of cervical cancer and may well have, inadvertently, saved several lives by so doing.
For this she deserves some praise.
I still, however, cannot bring myself to like her.
Depressing isn’t it – that the only way to drum a public health message into the heads of the public at large is for a ‘celebrity’ to die of said disease or mishap. Ditto the actress whose accident on the ski slopes has led to calls for ski helmets to be worn at all times and for everyone who receives even the slightest bump on the noggin to march straight of to A&E.
Misfortune amongst the famous is truly an effective means of ‘raising awareness’ – perhaps Max Clifford could succumb to an as yet unspecified aliment and it would serve to educate the public against the danger of whatever the probable cause of death turns out to be… at the very least it would rid the world of Max Clifford.
If you didn’t know about cervical cancer long before the death of this useless chav sow, you deserve to contract it and die in agony.
So long as we all live our lives according to the lessons learned by our celebrities, what could possibly go wrong?
That we all behave like Premiership Footballers and get the clap after a good free style ‘roasting’?
Well, you want to grow up to be a successful footballer don’t you? Get on with it then!
Goody was an ugly fat ignorant Hunt when she was alive and now she’s just a dead ugly fat ignorant Hunt.
The collective IQ of the nation rose by several points upon her death.
I, for one, am deeply pleased that she’s dead and I plan, at some future date, to grab a six-pack and go pay my respects at her grave.
And fuck her useless bastard children too who will grow up to be as ignorant and as worthless as their mother.
Thats a bit harsh. Its not nice to talk ill of the dead.
Jade was like da ppls princess yeh. Don’t diss her memry bruv. Me and my m8s ft she was gr8 and u is jst jealos cos she is like famus and u is not.
Posterity will ne’er survey
A nobler grave than this:
Here lie the bones of Castlereagh:
Stop, traveller, and piss.
Byron.
Raised awareness of cervical cancer? Every woman in the country has cervical cancer rammed down her throat by the NH-fucking-S from the moment she pops her first fucking pube.
Go fuck yourself, Blaad, you sanctimonious prick.
nice
Hunt.
Women made famous, for other women to write about so more women can read about women who sell perfume and clothes for women to buy.
And ‘Man’ is destroying the planet.
Wot the Fuck!!
Oh what a glorious world it would be if women had ruled for the last 10000 years.
We’d still be living in communal caves, with all day bitch sessions
Let the festival of national mournsturbation begin.. Bread and circuses.
Has Broon (or BLiar) ever attended the funeral of a serviceman killed in Iraq or Afghanistan?
I think BLiar went to the funeral of the contract worker who was taken hostage and murdered in Iraq but he was in Iraq of his own choice and probably being paid a lot more than the servicemen.
To jump on the bandwagon of mentioning her name in the vain hope that it will increase hits to a blog really is shallow and the sort of thing that the political classes tend to do so much better than anyone else.
Guido, couldn’t you have just done the right thing and not put yourself in exactly the same place as Brownout and Dave?
The soldiers should have been your headline if you were being sincere
Yep change it to “Three soldiers die in Afghanistan but Goody gets remembered”
I would celebrate the life of Jade Goody if her death put an end to the chav culture which is a central part of Britain’s demise.
Unfortunately it will only lengthen the queue of talentless wanabees who think they can win fame and wealth by being ignorant, racist ditch-pigs like her. Good riddance.
Well said Guido,
In the meantime EU Dave has been blowing his NWO dog whistle for his masters, global warming etc.
Vote `Dave` get Gordon!
Same people running the show with the same policies, different coloured tie!
Jade Goody’s legacy was How To Ignore Your Health Professionals. She’d had problems for a few years and then started to ignore specialist appointments ‘because she had other things to do’.
Let it be a warning to all young women – keep appointments. Unfortunately it was too late by the time they found this young woman but she had the best of care. I wonder how often the Royal Marsden allows beds to be rented for patient’s homes?
Natasha Richardson’s death was also How to Ignore Your Health Professional as well as How to Ignore Your Sports Professional but she was an actress so it is considered OK to go into mourning with theatre lights dimmed, memorial services, obituaries.
At least both women will probably have saved lives by creating awareness of the need for cancer screening and helmets.
Get knotted, you pig-ignorant fucktard.
Max Clifford is a Hunt. Jade Goody was a thick Hunt.
Brown was one of those to jump on the outrage bandwagon over the Shipla Setty affair I think. Now he eulogises her. What a dismal twat he is.
RIP Jade Goody
Indeed, a few more days suffering and it will all be over.
We just need to suffer through the funeral of the peoples’ pig and next weekend’s papers and our Jade related suffering will be over – cheers
Oh FFS, the ‘plans for the funeral’ are now being made. ‘People want to be able to pay their respects’.
I don’t, she sums up precisely all that is fucked with this country.
Fuck off.
I wish you were correct but I suspect that for a lot of people Jade’s death figures higher in their perceptions than the the fact that this country is bankrupt and that Labour have fucked us all good an proper! Expect a week of “wailing and gnashing of teeth” plus copious amounts of photos and eulogies but I hope we don;t have a repetition of one phrase I heard from a member of the public – “She woz the ‘commun’ people’s ‘princess’, weren’t she like ! ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least the bitch could have waited another 24 hours. My son would have won a sweepstake if she had died on the 23rd!
I am a politician, keen to show that I am in touch with the lower orders. As such I am deeply distressed at the news that Jane Goodie has passed away. Truly she was the people’s reality TV princess and I shall be throwing some flowers on the driveay of her palatial home in Essex as a mark of my deep respet. I shall then read a press statement from Sir Maxwell Clifford about how this caring young woman’s death was not in vain as Sir Maxwell will be coining it for years now on this story, sorry that she has raised the awareness of several generations of young women to the dangers of cervical cancer and will be remebred not as a thick, fat ugly chav bitch, but a shining beacon of hope and goodness surpassing that wrinkled old prune Mother Theresa.
No
And the sainthood? and the memorial statue? and the foundation? have you politicians no fucking sense of occasion
Politicians = vacuous, conniving, parasitic hypocrites.
We’ve had the media marriage, christenings and the departing. It’s over, I can switch the TV back on – yeah. No you can’t, we now have the funeral and memorial to look forward to. The country’s a fucking lunatic asylum. What about a national day of mourning – “Jadeday”
Do people really believe that Brown’s tribute was sincere? The whole lot of them are fucking phoneys.
Jade Goody has been summed up well enough in previous posts, but I wouldn’t grant her the intelligence to make the best of her opportunities – that was the work of Max Clifford, the ambulance-chasing, one-man media circus. He broke down and cried when Goody died, most likely because he’s going to have to find another meal ticket.
I wonder how much he managed to pocket out of the Jade Goody saga?
As for raising cancer awareness and “doing her bit” for cancer, there can be few, if any better, examples than Jane Tomlinson. Even though she was dying of cancer, she raised money, so that others could benefit. Her family have continued the fund-raising, even after her death. If anyone should have earned the epithet “Saint”, it is her, not Goody.
Thank fuck for that
Well said, Guido.
>> Fuck Jade Goody.
I’m rather glad I hadn’t!
Last year I had cancer I survived with the help of Macmillan and large doses of Chemo
I work for a living and am not a racist hence just another cancer pleb
Old saying…”Never speak ill of the dead”. Let the girl rest in peace. She leaves behind an innocent young family and a dodgy widower. Move on it is a tragic tale.
Surely dodgy ‘window licker’.
“Never speak ill of the dead” is a catchphrase employed by trite sanctimonious little bastards such as yourself. She was a Hunt when she was alive and she’s a Hunt now that she’s dead. Death changes nothing.
How long before someone brings out a commemorative plate ?
Do they do commemorative kebab plates?
Perhaps a simple trough with “Peoples’ celebutard” written on it?
All those soldiers coming back from Tony’s war with horrific life changing injuries – where is their recognition, where is the money for them and their families, where is Brown when they get back ?
They are the forgotten, those chav scum that weep for Jade should be ashamed.
Same place Thatcher put the Falklands wounded for her victory parade, out of sight.
guido’s concern for the fighting men is most touching
surely they deserve some pizza
This is about as fucking sick as it gets. Politicians of all colours grovel together in the gutter to get a cheap moment of publicity.
It wouldn’t matter but the fuckers are all at it. There is no party willing to maintain its dignity.
Warafuckingdisgrace
Guidos efforts at bringing Afghanistan dead into it is pretty pathretic.
Our soldiers are out there 365 days a year. I don’t see him remembering them constantly all that time – not least when he is proudly swilling back the Guinness. There is no connection. And I do not see him falling over himself paying taxes to support them either.
I like it best when Guido does not insult my intelligence.
The under-investment of our armed forces is an ongoing issue and should be brought up at appropriate times.
Brown was quick to condemn Goody’s racist comments and stands exposed as a dick head for his smarmy comments now.
Shit, were missing an opportunity here…
http://www.franklinmint.com/
… and an apostrophe.
And what did she want to spend the money on? Keeping her kids out of State education.
Think about it Gordon.
Jade Who?
Anyone got the SP on ‘Bishop Jonathan Blake’? He sounded like a sanctimonious twat – delusional at best and a Max-Clifford-type category ‘A’ Hunt at worst.
The apotheosis of Goody does not surprise me. Diana had too much class – Goody’s rise to fame and fortune, and subsequent demise at the hands of fate, exactly parallels Diana’s. But Goody’s palpable ignorance (Rio de Janeiro, East Anglia, etc) and her gut racism makes her the paragon of an “authenticity” that exceeds Diana’s but cannot be expressed (and/or explicitly celebrated) because of political correctness.
The index of this was displayed this morning on the Toady program, where a wimman from the Grauniad waxed elegiac in metaphysical terms – Goody she said had redeemed herself by dying. What a total crazy – but no surprise either coming from the Graun.
So the Grau and BBC “redeem” themselves in their own eyes. They have contributed to creating a Saintly example. We must all follow this example to redeem our sins against Gaia. It matter not what Goody thought, if anything, of anthropogenic global warming. It is the way we “useless eaters” must “redeem” ourselves. (As we’re worth sod all otherwise).
Fuck you you totally immoral imbecilic eugenicist bastards.
Get a grip; They were both bimboids, one was just a lot prettier, with a nicer accent.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/dailypolitics/andrewneil/2009/03/knickers_in_a_twist.html
The sentiments re: JG expressed by Mr. Neil in the the last four paragraphs of this morning’s blog entry sound awfully familiar. Too familiar?
I wrote pretty much the same thing as well, as did pretty much every broadsheet – it’s not a huge leap to question the politicians’ shameless opportunism and to naturally compare three men who died in service with the outpouring for a famous nobody
presumably the men were, or will be, all mentioned in PMQs – the introduction of that little convention is yet another piece of shameless politicking
Guido,
Brillo’s nicking your stuff
Jade Goody and her ilk are all that I despise about the ‘celebrity’ culture. However, it says a great deal about the mentality of the public when they buy all the trash magazines about ‘celebrities’. I hope to god that Goody’s funeral is the day after I am on nights and will be asleep in bed. I remember the ridiculous outpouring of grief when Diana died. I was on nights when it happened and slept through the following day. On the day of her funeral I manged to do more gardening in one go than I had ever done.
Brown and Cameron and all those jumping on the bangwagon proves that they reall are twats. And that goes for the media who a year ago were slagging Goody off at every opportunity.
ps. Ok I still think it sad that 2 kids have lost their young mother.
Rio de Janeiro does not live in East Anglian. At least she taught the world that much.
She called it East Angular, or so I’m led to believe. Brainless hoonette.
any mans death diminishes me
You are not an island and I claim my £5 or a golliwog.
At least her dying wish was to make sure
the state did not educate her children.
fucking hellfire the fucking spanish Hunts are here
Which one of the Goodies was she?
It’s refreshing to see I am not the only person who thinks this way. And while it’s sad that two kids have lost a mother, they’re hardly the only ones.
Now, has anybody got any creative ideas for disrupting the inevitable several minutes’ silence the mainstream media (yes, the same mainstream media who slagged the thick little chav off at every opportunity till they found out she was dying) are bound to call for?
Play the theme tune to “The Goodies” at volume 11, perhaps.
All in the best possible taste, for the peoples’ celebutard
amen and goodnight 2units & a big bhudda await
A good career move…
Remember white working class males are totally expendable. They always have been and always will. How any fucking scumbag politician allowed the slaughter of WW1 to take place amazes me.
You won’t see shite like Hattie Harman shedding a tear for dead white males in Afghanistan.
Maybe Gordon was sincerely upset about ‘Jane Goody’
JANE GOODY WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU !!!!
