The fact that views about Jade's personality, fame and wealth divide public opinion is not in doubt.

Those who dislike her personality, fame and wealth perhaps should be aware that their feelings towards her alone - do not make her what our media have accused her (and others) of. I fear that was what was behind all this fuss which arose from an argument about stock cubes on a TV show.

Such accusations requires an objective judgement that cannot be made in such a climate.

This used to be thought of proudly as a fair country - but jealousy of those of our ranks who have risen to make good, seems to be behind the sort of outragous treatment that is openly displayed and reserved for public figures like Jade, David Beckham and his wife.

Where so-called football fans feel it is acceptable to shout out to David Beckham that they hope his children die.

That our media are irresponsible enough to judge and treat these public figures as if they were not real flesh and blood people with feelings just like us, but some sort of cardboard cut-outs is one thing - it does not mean that we must follow this example.

I suggest that it is vital that we do not.
