I wonder whether the media are preparing to send Heather Mills down the David Icke Road of Sad, Bad and Mad. Yes heather mills who married Paul McCartney and didn’t get on with his kids.
I am not sure if I have the right order there. First they say you are sad, then bad and finally claim you are mad and in this way everything you say and do is discredited. I say this because something about Heather Mills and saying rats milk would solve food problems was in the paper today. And no matter what she does she is being made to look bad and mad, from the photos being printed in the press to the way the Tv coverage is slanted.
I also wonder why it is we love to vilify women who are outspoken and articulate and put over a representation of themeselves that is not subservient. Even in todays climate of a nod at equality or what i would call quasi-equality, successful women still have to appear a little subservient to the male system.
Look at the message sent out in The Devil Wears Prada, in a fine performance by Meryl Streep we learn that tough business women lose their husbands and have to hurt their friends in order to succeed but a women who follows her man and his career finds love and happiness.

I know little about Paul McCartney except he was once one of the lovable liverpudlian fab four and then later married to the vegitarian Linda Eastman (she of Kodak-Eastman..the camera people). and had a band called Wings. He has vast sums of money and has projected a lovable image and produced many, slightly sickly, in my opinion, but very popular songs.
However to me in all this he doesn’t look good and the worse the media paint his wife Heather Mills the more of it sticks to him, and Jonathan Ross and the thing about her being a liar (even about her leg) was just rubbish. I like Ross’s humour but that just was spiteful …I have heard it say he’s seen in McCartney’s company too.
So why am I bothered, i mean its just two highly paid entertainers battling it out, and it sells newspapers. I care because i think people in these powerful positions should set examples, and the need to be good examples, this is the responsibility that money brings. These two people don’t realise this. In this grasping world what exactly is this battle exemplifying….except greed corruption desire spite and also the position of women in our society, shame on you both.
