Horrible horrible excuse for a human being (Josie Cunningham)

[spreadsheet]

thing is - if she was on big brother she would probably be leaning towards acts of moral turpitude that edged towards pregnancy anyway so the whole thing goes full circle

It is. I think it's actually a circular thing. People (for whatever reason) do seem to want to read about celebrities, but real celebrities (those who got where they did because they are talented at something) generally seem to stay away from the 'sleb magazines (such as OK, Hello etc.) As such, to carry on publishing, these mags need to create new celebrities, and make them famous. I say it's circular because these magazines , having created the celebs, have to create more. Partly because some have a limited career (maybe having a few months in the spotlight then vanishing), so need to be replaced and partly because when one does something like this, it gets massive coverage in the national media, which inevitably attracts more readers and viewers, who will want more celebrities, and the whole cycle starts again.

I think it's causing trouble because kids are looking at these people, and seeing them get paid a small fortune for doing very little, and they suddenly aspire to be like these people and get paid a small fortune for doing almost nothing.

Look at the people who set up successful companies (who are the people kids *should* aspire to be). They spend years working more than 50 hours a week for little or no money, but they can end up in a position of massive power in a huge company. Look at Richard Branson. In the 60s, he was working every hour he could in a crypt in a local churches selling heavily discounted records to students. Through years of hard work, he raised enough cash to buy a shop on Oxford Street and started selling records through that. In 1972, he founded Virgin Records, and his first fortune was made.

This man, despite being dyslexic and a low achiever at school worked long hours for years (possibly decades) and as a result, is the 6th wealthiest person in the UK.

Also look at Theo Paphitis. He didn't come from a wealthy background, went to a comprehensive school, and is also dyslexic.

He started his own property finance company, made a small fortune for that and moved into retail when he spotted the rise of the mobile phone. He is worth £210 million. But, again, he did that through years of hard work.

These are the sort of people our children should be looking to emulate. Not the latest z lister they've just read about when this z lister fell out of a club with her knickers around her ankles.

She said: “Suddenly I was pregnant and I could get free dental work on the NHS, so I got a tooth straightened for cosmetic reasons, which seemed great.” How selfish waste of tax payers money, this money would have been spent on treatment for those who really need it cancer victims etc.
She is truly ugly inside and out, not a very nice person IMO.
She does not deserve to be blessed with children as she obviously considers the use abortion as way to conception even at this late stage of her pregnancy fame hungry wannabe, well she's got her fame now, but is it for the right reasons. Of course not.
Has she done good? NO
Is she in the wrong? Oh yeah. Channel 5 will be in the wrong too, if they give her any air time on their show.
Will people admire her? No.
Is she a dreg on society and a waste of skin and tax payer's money? Yes in my opinion.
Does she use the NHS for the wrong reason's? Yes.
The NHS should spend their money of those who truly need it "saving lives & operations that are needed not to further someone's career if you want an operation for that get a job and pay for it yourself I'm talking about her boob job here that cost nearly £5000 on the NHS the money would have been better funded else where.
Hope it worth it! Josie Cunningham ... As tizmeinnit say's horrible evil woman ... that's what you are and are coming across. Although her reasons for abortion fall outside NHS guidelines, Josie doesn't care.

That is good news but I wonder if she will change her mind.

If the potential money from BB is out she'll probably keep it and hope the father is the "premier league football player" and not one of her clients from being a hooker. Either way the child gets the short end of the stick.

Presumably they aren't prostitutes and the number isn't in the millions every day and what is her career, what's the career progression from hooker. If she has the kid one day it'll read about what sort of mother she is.
