Call me heartless (even though I'm not) but why has such a big fuss been made over
Jade Goody's funeral? Yes it's a very sad loss and not nice for those involved but why the carry on? Yes, she wanted to make lots of money for her boys and all credit to her for that but I can't help feel for all the thousand of people who die every year and leave their families. There were one or two high profile deaths the same week (not to mention a personal friend of mine who died the same day from cancer) and nothing has drawn this much attention. I also find it in very bad taste that the Government are now considering lowering the age for smear tests when they should have done this years ago.
( And in the rest of the news... )
