well we all are really if you break down what time we have let into minutes.

I thought I'd write Max's headlines for him.

He really is milking this for all it's worth isn't he? Then of course post death, he'll spin it all out for another three months...the funeral etc'.

This has been a really nice little earner for him.

I have read the man was evil before this circus began...but I didn't realise just how evil.

Does this man have any redeeming features whatsoever?

None whatsoever.

I mentioned Goody and Clifford to an overseas pal of mine where they mean absolutely nothing and he checked out some of the TV coverage, concluding the whole thing looks too carefully staged and manipulated! If he can see it, no doubt most in the rest of the World can... does this reflect well upon Britain and it's people? No.

How does one explain Goody and Clifford to anybody outside the UK? I think they all look on and wonder what on Earth the British are playing at...

Max may be many things but stupid he is not.

However I think in his old age he has under estimated the loathing felt towards him and whilst I'm sure he's ready with all the dishonest and superficial truisms about encouraging others to be screened and how every penny he makes "goes to charidee", I think he's failed to see how many realise the benefit to his overall status from his involvement in this death.

Meejah people are also not stupid. They love a good story but many can see beyond the superficial and hate Clifford with a passion (whilst smiling at his face).

The most desired exclusive on Fleet Street is the inevitable "Max raped me years ago" headline.

How did you know Max raped me years ago? I've not told nobody!!

Do you think anybody would be interested? (Uncle Max said nobody would want to know). LOL!

If only you weren't joking, Maxine; I'm told that £500,000 is the current offer.

I must ask our Max Markson if Clifford is his hero.

I see he's now handling the world-wide sale of 30 year old raunchy pics of the right-wing Aussie nutter Pauline Hanson (she's really quite sweet but almost had a heart atack when her son came out as gay). But oddly he's supposed to be managing her election campaign in QLD while she's saying she'll sue the Murdoch tabloids.!

There was a major scandal when Max M. handled Cherie Blair's book tour(while Tony was still PM)..the proceeds were meant to go to charity. But not before Max M. took 25% for himself. The charity got it back in the end though while Cherie headed for the hills.

I bet his childhood hero was Clifford.

£500,000 !!! wow..worth taking a punt isn't it ?

I mean it doesn't matter if it's true or not and if I say it was 30 years ago they can rake up some pics of Max looking smooth and young...probably a bit gay looking. Is Max married with a family ?. Even better..."secret sordid sex life" !

And how could he prove it isn't true ?. I'm a pretty good actor. I can blame my years of drinking in pubs on the assault.

And even if it somehow fails, nothing's going to happen to me is it ?. Besides, I hear you can apply for the criminal compensation immediately and don't have to pay it back whatever happens.

Beats the dole any day.

Have a heart. I understand many here cannot bear "Clifford" but lets put things in perspective. His wife died 6 years ago from lung cancer, He has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his daughter has severe arthritis, and he does charity work and media work for the childrens hospice at the Royal Marseden of which he is a patron. How many others who bleat constantly about the Jade/Clifford saga can honestly say they give as much as he does? I suppose some negative views are from those who can only be described as sheep. Open your eyes and decide for yoursef before you jump on the bandwagon.

Oh I think we are all aware of some of the tragedies surrounding Max, Angel. All those unfortunate hardships seem to have received lots of publicity.

I dont condone his methods but Max Clifford is human and I am sure has feelings. Though the Jade story is slightly creepy perhaps his own personal experience means that he is able to understand what she and her family are going through.

Though it is bizarre that the UK news is dominated by reality TV stars - it says more about our Society than it does about those who are involved in reality soaps and their PR handlers.

If the MEDIA did not publish and give air to this stuff then it would not exist.

They say the public want it - at least the dumbed down 10 million living on or off benefits enjoy it and three million of them can afford to buy the SUN to read about such stuff and watch Big Brother etc.

This is a large group of people who are being pandered to - and I suppose that is the reason it exists.

Obviously most people posting on this forum have some ability in writing and reading - therefore it is also understandable that we perhaps look down on this "tabloid" stuff. But I am sure for those involved the feelings are real. I dont think we should be too quick to judge. Only they know their true motivation.

OK..I'm being tough on Max. I didn't know about his personal tragedies (mind you-we've all had them).

Gabriel will have plenty to weigh up then on the scales when Max gets to th Pearly Gates.

I hope it all ges in his favor..otherwise it's own to see.....

Guilt trips never work with me. I remain vile and unpleasant. I hate him. He makes me sick

Its not about guilt trips. Hating someone you don't know says more about you.

Now this is ridiculously sick...

I saw this mag all over the place whilst out shopping yesterday. Never ever in my life have I ever known tributes and memorials like this to somebody who is still alive... just.
