Cant believe all this coverage. Surely there are more important things happening. It was like when she sent that video around Christmas, saying shes bored or something, for god sake she wanted to do it. Trying to make everyone feel bad for something she decided to do. Im sorry to be so mean on this, but you know...


She was making a video diary of her thoughts during her voyage..... what do you expect her to say? 'Hello everything's leaking and cold and I haven't slept for weeks, but no worries I'm very happy and I've just put my decorations up'?

She's not trying to make anyone feel bad, she's just expressing her thoughts

This is an absolute joke. I watched CNN this morning in a bid to see some actual news. On a day when there appears to be peace in the middle east (albeit probably for a couple of days), the dead soldiers are flown back to the UK, and 21 people are killed in Baghdad, it is an absolute farce that so many resources should be spent on such a trivial story.


But news always goes large of trivial issues - look at all the coverage during Euro 2004, any celebrity guff that fills papers and news programmes

Also this was a one off - sad to say but Middle East Peace deals are quite common as are reports of people being killed in Iraq. The bodies return got quite extensive coverage on the BBC I thought.

Something that is new will always get more coverage than a story that's been happening for years.... that's why it's called 'news'
