Well said Parky

After the hugely hypocritical surge of Jade-mania that swept Britain, it took a veteran like Michael Parkinson to restore some sanity.
"When we clear the media smokescreen from around her death, what we're left with is a woman who came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today".
Too right Parky, you tell them. It still baffles me that some of the worst kind of tabloids (is there a good kind anyway??) still use Jade to fill their front pages.
"Her death is as sad as the death of any young person but it's not the passing of a martyr or a saint or, God help us, Princess Di".
Spot on again. The only tragedy here is that two young boys are left without their mum, end of story. Sadly for them, their mum was a despicable character, that exploited the media to her advantage and was thoroughly exploited back by them.
