sir tom moore : Most liked Posts

The thing with Jade Goody was even though she was vile in my opinion, she wasnt even 30 and left two young sons without a mum. That is a tragedy in whatever way you look at it, Tom was 100 years old and had a long, happy and fulfilling life. It’s sad but very few people reach that age. People need to get a grip,

They had the flag at half mast at Downing Street last night. Obviously the other 100,000 people that have died didn’t really matter, but this one made them take notice.
The amount of money he raised was wonderful, but the focus should have been on the terrible state the NHS is in because it hasn’t been funded properly, not him as a person. As far as I’m concerned this whole thing played into the ridiculous British obsession with world war 2, the stiff upper lip etc. It played into the hands of the government when it should have highlighted their failings.
I only found out his whole family went on a free first class trip to Barbados the other day and couldn’t believe it. Even if it was just before lockdown we had clearly been told to only travel if essential. The same people defending it are the same ones (rightly in my opinion) condemning influencers going to Dubai. Don’t get me started on the Captain Tom Gin!

I'm probably a complete bitch but I hated all the silly good news stories during covid; from the people DJing on their balconies to the people "rowing the Atlantic" from home.

The forced uplifting good news was annoying like those emotional manipulation X factor montages. I don't care.

You would think the family would just want to go home, and get some sleep and perhaps ring round extended family today. Not talking to the media before he was cold.
I bet anything the daughter ends up on Loose Women, in the big brother house, baking programmes etc.

Just put GMB on you would think the Queen has died with the tributes that are going on. It’s a bit too much.

His daughter has been talking to Piers Morgan/Michael Ball etc before they put the statement out? WTF!

This is really unsettling. All the pictures they are showing with his daughter and grandkids loving the attention. I did watch one of his interviews a bit back with his daughter sat next to him and he could barely speak properly, he was so frail compared to the beginning. He should have been left to rest and not be wheeled out for publicity for the daughter all the time

Pretty sure that is actually Tom himself. All the dodgy spas and nicking the money is to distract you from the fact she turned her dad into some sort of taxidermied lounge arrangement.

I've added his head to the chair, it's just come back from the taxidermist x..



Anyone lucky enough to first sit down on the 'Captain Tom Taxidermy Chair' will hear a voice say "Tomorrow will be a good day" before been handed a Captain Tom gin x

I never liked the family and what they were doing. I was always accused of being cynical!

On the plus side, she did say in the interview that the pool is for the community and I live fairly local, so I’m going to pop round tomorrow with my bikini. Do you think they’ll provide towels or shall I take my own?

It’s a bit much isn’t it... I have family in bedford and she knows one of the nurses who was on the ward looking after him. Apparently all of the family members were allowed in to visit and see him and it was like a circus? Double standards?
very sad that he has died after doing such great charitable work but many others have died and have been denied visits from family

My mother can’t stop crying this is the woman who is massively racist, homophobic, transphobic, does not agree with food banks and slates single parent families, (yes she is a c**t) but a 100 year old passes away and she’s devastated! Beggers bloody belief. She’s done nothing but moan about selfish people leaving the country for holidays but it was ok for Captain Tom! I think I’m going to have to take a break from social media and tv for the next few days as it’s going to be unbearable. The virtue signaling is unbelievable.

I think a lot of this plays into the populist, nationalist, pro Brexit, anti foreigner, bring back the Empire mentality.

Oh thank god I’m not the only one,I was beginning to feel quite evil lol. GMB this morning has been the piers show of course and he’s turned the whole thing into one massive Tom tribute .

Very sad the man died, every death is sad ( my dad died at 56 with cancer) He did raise an amazing amount for the NHS. Inspirational for sure. I did turn off GMB this morning, Piers saying the criticism for taking Tom to Barbados is hurting the family.... I don't know how they ever thought, in a pandemic , that putting a 100 year old man on a plane was a good idea... I am not too happy about being labelled a troll for perhaps having an opinion that thinks maybe he was safer at home. My friends sister is in Australia, she has had a horrific still birth, her parents here in Ireland are desperate to be with her.
Even if there were flights, she has told her mum who has health issues to stay home and stay well and at the first safe opportunity they will all reunite and grieve.
Gmb , this morning (don't watch it) rightly criticising the influencers , cannot with a straight face say taking Tom abroad was a good idea....

Those photos at the end of the last thread make me feel so sad that he was paraded around and used for photo opportunities by his family. IF you’re going to go away during a pandemic (which I think was completely wrong, bucket list or not) surely you’d make sure that you keep as far away from other people as possible rather than mingling at every opportunity. The lack of social distancing and masks made it inevitable that he would catch something. The way his family put him at risk like that is disgusting. He didn’t have to have his photo taken with anyone, there is a word such as NO.

Anyone seen the sofa she's had made out of the captain's uniform?

If I'm honest, I never bought into the Captain Tom, thing. I mean, I admired the guy for what he did but I'm always suspicious of these 'pop up' causes. I'm not going to go into details but have given several years of my time and money to the NHS as a volunteer. During the pandemic, it frustrated me how little recognition care workers outside of the NHS were given. My mum's in a care home and her carers were with their residents 12 hours a day, working for a pittance. Almost half of the residents in my mum's little home passed away during the Covid pandemic (they'd managed to keep it out of her place for 12 weeks and then it hit). Not all residents died of Covid- some natural causes and some with broken hearts because they were deprived of regular visits and social contact. My mum has been used to seeing me every single day and, thankfully, because I live near, I could do window visiting, after a while. When she actually caught Covid, the NHS just about wrote her off and against the odds, she survived, in spite of the NHS not because of their service. The carers were the ones who were the true heroes. Some of the staff were so traumatized by the experience that they left the profession but not until the worst of it was over. Who cared for them?

In summary, it infuriates me that there were people like Hannah Ingram-Moore (and many others) who used this whole damned nightmare to their personal advantage. There were others, such as the government cronies given lucrative PPE contracts and so on. Despicable people. There were many anonymous people, as others have said, giving far more with no expectation of recognition.

I know we haven’t used thread titles yet but just in case, here’s my suggestion.

Bore off. We are allowed to be critical of the press coverage around his death and question his families motives. No one is glad he’s dead or wished him ill.

At what point did it become acceptable to profit from your father’s legacy, Hannah?
Is this what greed has come to?
When integrity is ignored like this, where does it end?

So relieved for this thread.

I liked Captain Tom and am very sad he passed but from almost the start I've had very bad vibes from the family, especially Hannah with her marketing platform, and I will never be able to understand or accept that they took a 100 year old man to Barbados during a pandemic. Just because you can doesn't mean you should is something I often find myself thinking these days.

Also, this may sound terrible of me but when it was announced he died I thought I bet this will be used as an excuse for another public clapping spectacle and I was right. #ClapForTom is trending on Twitter. Well, you know what? Just fuck off because I am fucking sick of being expected to clap like I'm a fucking performing seal. I am so so sick of the clapping.

It's really sad a good person has had his last days and death smeared by the greed of his family and a desire to politicise absolutely fucking everything.

In case you can't tell from all the swearing I am just so pissed off at this point. Fuck off with your #ClapFor hashtag.

(God, I needed to get all that off my chest. Nice to be back on Tattle after a break)

Barbados.
at 100,
during a pandemic.....because it was free.
he gets sick going from a cold country to a hot country and back again, not surprising.
misses his vaccine, gets corona. ends up in hospital.

hope the daughter had a nice holiday.
