What is Big Brother Jade the queen of? In the start, when she first appeared on Big Brother, she might have been the Queen of Ignorance and Unintentional Humour.

Then she was a Queen of Publicity and Celebrity, enjoying a few years of fantastic success.

But then came Celebrity Big Brother, and the clash of cultures with Shilpa Shetty: the media painted it as a case of black and white, but really it was a case of greenygrey.

Shilpa was clever, Jade was clumsy. Jade was up against it anyway, as a British society primed by multicultural fascism was almost bound to take the side of an upper class ethnic over white trash (I say that as white trash, and Jade’s family were described as such in a conversation Shilpa had with Jackson, which was largely ignored by the media.)

When Jade told Shilpa she should go back to see the Indian slums I decoded it as meaning the upper class Indian should go back to see how the poor Indians live, in a system of apartheid caste, but the media obviously didn’t think Jade has such knowledge, and interpreted as Jade talking down to Shilpa, as the British used to talk down to the Indians during colonialism. Like the white British trash of that time weren’t talked down to!

Jade would be sacrificed to pay our debts to India for past crimes. After a gruesome interrogation by Davina upon her exit, Jade became the Queen of Chavs and Racism.

The media forgot how eloquent and diplomatic she had become during the early stages of that Celebrity Big Brother, and how she had tried to mediate between her mother and boyfriend and Shilpa, after the programme had introduced her unmedia savvy family, and they’d taken an instant dislike to the very media savvy Shilpa.

But now. Jade was already on her way back to popularity, when her tragic illness struck. She has chosen to fight it public, and is now going to work on to publicise the need for screening and to set up her sons.

As she doesn’t want them to grow up in ignorance, as she did; an ignorance that was cruelly manipulated during Celebrity Big Brother.

Jade has now become the Queen of Heart and Courage.

* If people accuse me of using Jade’s illness for my own benefit, they may have a small case; it is a case of greenygrey, not black and white. But I was saying these sentiments at the time of Celebrity Big Brother, when to defend Jade was tantamount to heresy, and I also defended Jade in my 28/10/08 blog Prescott: The Class System and Me

* I also have nothing against Shilpa, Davina and the makers of Celebrity Big Brother. They all have good qualities, and are good businesspeople.
