Celebrity culture blighting nation

Madness is descending fast! Forty-eight hours of Big Brother racism complaints that have been courted by journalists in favour of real news like our boys in the Middle East, the awful weather that cost many people's lives and the Government's jobs for the boys scandal between Cosford and St Athan.

If I were cynical I would say it's "spin" of the highest order.

When are we going to wake up and realise that we are breeding and rearing a nation of wannabes and hangers-on? Every kid you speak to is studying media. Why? Because the wannabes are fuelling the "do as little as possible for as much as you can" economy.

Media and celebrity have an awful lot to answer for. Youngsters aspire to be a Jade Goody, a WAG or a top footballer. Education goes by the wayside in pursuit of that one lucky break.

Many end up single mums or drug addicts that go on to abuse the National Health Service and social care systems that past generations have worked damn hard to provide.

Why don't the media court decent humans, like the guy who gave up his day off to risk life and limb rescuing stricken seamen 50 miles off the Cornish coast. Hero? Yes, but more importantly a human being with an education and the morals to contribute positively to this once great nation.

Mr Blair, time to take another long celebrity holiday while there's something left!

Then again there's always next year's Celebrity Big Brother!
