bordering on repulsive and crass. ....yes, that too. but i like to look on the bright side  I think it's looking on the dark side to mock someone dying-is all. |

Of course, if you are not interested in Ms Goody, then I would suggest not bothering to buy the various media to which she has sold her story.
Following it is not compulsory.
She is who she is, she does what she does, and let him or her who is without sin cast the first stone.
As for David Cameron, why blame him? The media swarm on to these stories and overkill them because the media lack imagination and proportion.
What I don't understand about all the various threads on these issues across the various MBs is why people have this desire to be personally nasty about the famous person in question rather than discuss the role of the media which, to me, is the far more interesting subject.

it is a awful thing for any parent to have to bury their child,David Cameron is in the news because he is a public figure, and this news makes all of us with children sad because we look at our own healthy and strong children and realise how lucky we are, i have a child with a challenge and i thank God every day for his strong healthy life David Cameron and even Gordon Brown who also lost a child are still human beings too and if they can empathise with the rest of us that have to fight for a childs rights for a fair go then hopefully they can improve things for parents and children that need extra services for support.

My cousin lost his only child (who was in his 20s) a few years ago. He'd suffered ill health all his life and finally died, in his mother's arms, after a massive asthma attack. Not totally unexpected, but devastating all the same. Even though the Camerons knew their little boy would probably not make adult-hood (apparently, listening to the radio today, most babies with this rare condition seldom survive for more than a few weeks) it's still a shock.
To lose a precious child is surely just about the worst thing that can happen to a parent - and amongst all this my heart goes out to Jade Goody's mother. As difficult as it must have been for her to read all the stuff about Big Brother, the racist claims, etc., how much harder is it for her to read some of the comments that have been in newspapers.
Chris, one day your daughters will be the same age as Jade Goody. It's just as difficult losing them at that age as when they are children.

I live in dread of anything happening to my daughter or son. The fact that my son is shortly going to be setting out on a driving trip from Sydney to Darwin and venturing into the Outback where there be crocs, spiders etc., doesn't help one bit. I was counting on the fact that as Riot is now his friend on Facebook she might have been a steadying influence. Clearly I was wrong. |

I am sorry for David Cameron's trouble
If the child were mine , I would be grateful that his ( and my ) suffering was at an end .
Such a damaged life is no life IMO .

I'll second ARF. There are worse things than death - as any torturer knows.That child was due to die soon enough and without modern technology might never have had to suffer the six years it did. Several religions teach having to live as the result of 'sin' or too much attachment to sleaze and so did some Christian heresies. So although a sadness, an inevitable one and one perhaps better now than when a child is old enough to be aware of its own disability or the parents to feel the sorry of knowing it will never be aware of anything a normal child of that age might be. Who would want to have one foot in the grave worried sick about what will happen to the 40 year old ten year they have spent their life looking after?
