Slightly pushed for time this morning so I will simply point you in this direction and invite you to pep up your day with a nice spoonful of Rod Liddle, yes, it will make you wince but it's good for you! Here are the opening lines, just to give you the hilarious flavour which, of course, disguises a serious core:
"Here’s a notable first for television — a contestant on a Big Brother programme was told, in front of a television audience, that she had cancer. The woman in question was Jade Goody, whom you may vaguely remember as the coarse, thick, Bermondsey chav who sprung to national prominence for having been allegedly racist on a previous series of the programme. This time she’s on the Indian version of Big Brother called Bigg Boss — an attempt, apparently, to convince everyone that she isn’t racist at all, but is quite happy to trouser fairly large sums of money from darkies the world over."
Even Auberon Waugh would have been proud of that!
