What was Parky thinking? The so-called 'Sir' Michael Parkinson - clearly with not enough activities to fill out his retirement schedule - took it upon himself to publicly disrespect the late Jade Goody as representing the worst in Britain. Goody - who lost her bout with cervical cancer at the age of 27 this Mother's Day - was buried this weekend. Parky clearly didn't wait for the ground over her grave to harden - with ants in his pants he went to the papers and slammed a dead mother for being stupid, with 2 young children and a grieving family watching in shock.
Was pleased to see Bishop Blake stand up for Goody in his blog for what was an astonishingly poor show of decency from the ParkBag. For all his derision of Goody's background, I was very surprised to read about Parky's own history - dishcloth roots and all. Well, Goody achieved more by 27 in making the public aware of the devastation of cervical cancer - her battle has already saved lives. Not sure if watching the likes of David Beckham on 'Parkinson' really matches up (NB: Posh and Becks??? Talk about working class Britain !).Well, Parky - you may be called 'Sir' these days, but you're definitely no 'Gentleman'.
