CANCER victim Jade Goody came to represent "all that's paltry and wretched about Britain", broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson has said.
Days after the reality TV star's funeral, he told the Radio Times she was "the perfect victim of our times" and died to "an orchestrated chorus of exploitation".

Oh what a load of rubbish!

No offence intended to Jade's memory, but if it wasn't for the crass stupidity of our times and the masses' desire to watch brain-dead nonsense whilst staring at the telly like plebs and then letting it rule their lives, Jade wouldn't have been famous in the first place.

Good luck to Jade for fully capitalising on her illness, thereby making as much money as possible for her kids. I only hope that Max Clifford's fee was reasonable as opposed to outrageous.

Well said Sir Michael, if it wasn't for ambulance chaser Max Clifford we would have avoided the dirge of press stories for months.
