All the British public has to do is not buy the newspapers. If only eh?

The whole thing seems very distasteful to me. As I said elsewhere again, regarding where should the line be drawn. Should she be buried in a glass coffin so we can see her corpse decay? What price dignity?

How about if we changed it to the British public not buying tabloids? Can't see a BDer out of a job as part of our master plan.

Unfortunately, the distinction between tabloids and some of our daily's isn't as great as it used to be

All this talk about money, how are these kids going to grow up..after a certain age they will know they are going to get a lot of money from trust funds, I cant see the guy she is with no being a great dad, didn't he cheat on her and the other bloke seems like he wont get custody.

Their is a fine line between money and money doing good.

The guy she is marrying is not the father of the children as far as I can remember.

It's part of a parents nature to want to provide for their kids. Jade's not exactly going to write an opera to do it, so this is the best way she can achieve it.

It's like anything with the tabloids anyway, you can't really blame the people they feature. There's a big market for trash because a very high percentage of the public are idiots. Therefore, it sell newspapers by the bucketload.

Fair play to her, IMO.
I agree wholeheartedly.

To be fair she has said that as much as she is being exploited she is also exploiting her illness to financially provide for her children.

I should hope that Jade will leave custody to the father of her children, she seems like a nice family girl so I am sure thats what she will do
I think she is amazing for letting the world into her life right now and so what if she gets paid for it, I don't think I could do it even with millions of pounds.
Its a very private time and a very scary one at that.
Good on Goody imo she is doing an amazing job at teaching young women about the risks of not getting smear tests done
