sir tom moore : Most liked Posts

Hannah's true character was revealed more than ever when she used her vulnerable fourteen-year-old daughter (all teenage girls are vunlerable, imho) as a human shield on national television while crying about her mental health.

Any time people get done for wrongdoing they instantly pull the mental health card and it is absolutely disgusting. Mental health issues are near to my heart and it's difficult enough getting the subject taken seriously when you are not a "nice" middle class person with a bit of money. So many people are making an already fraught and messy issue more stigmatised.

And I always thought the Captain Tom hysteria was completely bloody bonkers. Did not understand it from the moment it kicked off and what followed with his 100th birthday and then the funeral... it's beyond my capacity to process. No disrespect or ill will to Tom himself generally - although I didn't like the comments he made about his deceased wife who wasn't around anymore to defend herself - but I hope that's it for the insufferable family now.

It's the grifters charter innit?
"Oh those horrid trolls on tattle want me dead, it's affected my mental health"
Bullshit! What's "affected your mental health" was getting caught, you robbing twat!

Its all in very poor taste isn’t it? And you can’t say anything without being attacked. Thank God for Tattle and this thread.

I don't find it any more sad than all the other folks who died from Covid. Such an odd response from people, honestly.


They should be kept like that to show respect to the other 100,000 people who died.

I saw the photo of him on the plane with his custom seat cover. Aw, he looks very nice in his suit and a little smile. I think it is a very nice photo. But I just can't fathom that BA and his family thought it was a good idea for him to travel, 1. cause he was so old and 2. in case they brought the virus there as it can take a few days to show on a test. I wonder if he got Covid travelling back? I guess we will never know.

He really doesn’t look well on that photo compared to those taken earlier last year. He looks so tired and frail. He doesn’t even look well enough for a trip out to a U.K. local beach, let alone one in the Caribbean. What were his family thinking?? Look at his little face. He must have found the whole journey and holiday so gruelling and tiring.

He did a wonderful thing with his 100 laps and he will be remembered very fondly for that. However, I feel he has been pushed too far at his grand old age. All those TV interviews, photo shoots, journeys away from home, dealing with strangers, magazines, newspapers, daily intrusion. That would be too much for people half his age. He should have been resting in his 100th year, not being here there and everywhere. He must’ve have been exhausted and he looks it in that photo on the plane.

I find it incredibly sad that the very thing he was trying to raise awareness of and prevent has led to his own demise, either indirectly or directly. RIP Sir Tom.

Imagine crying over someone dying who you don’t even know. Maybe I’m heartless but I’m sick to the back teeth of it and his daughter is disgusting
And as a scouser I’m gutted listening to that version of YNWA

He did one piece of fundraising that, for various reasons, gained a lot of publicity. As far as we know, he did not spend his life fund raising and doing charity work, but he is being treated like someone who did

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?

Turn up with your sir captain Tom Moore bikini and I'm sure Hannah and her husband will welcome you with open arms. she's all about love and community, the only mistake she make was being so naïve and not knowing such hate existed in the world.

Hannah and husband look the type to come out screaming at someone who uses a few inches of their drive to turn around. "I'm calling the police!! This is trespass!!"

The story shouldn't have been given so much attention. Should have been the nice story to end the news on one night and move on. So many other people desperate for fame and fortune started doing attention seeking things, no need to encourage this behaviour.

Hannah is utterly delusional with all her references to how her family affected the world

I’m so pleased this thread exists.

I have no issue with what he did, I think it was admirable and very fitting for the first lockdown and brought a lot of people together. I was actually quite saddened to see he’d passed.

However, he should not have gone to Barbados. Not at all. There is no excuse, ESPECIALLY if you literally raised money for the NHS, like how ironic is that? Flouting the rules to possibly put more strain on the company that you’re raising money for.

And this excuse that it was his last chance for a holiday? It’s awful. He likely wouldn’t have caught pneumonia had he not gone and I’m pretty sure British Airways would still send him there for free when things were better.

Plus, he’s 100. He’s had many holidays and many fantastic memories and a wonderful life. There are people in their teens, twenties, thirties, etc dying from COVID who have so much more life to live, but they won’t because people are flouting the rules.

And Michael Ball just wanted a Number 1 and some quick money, you can tell how much he loves himself in the video for that song. It’s so cringe to watch.

You can be sad that he’s passed, appreciative of what he’s done, and critical of his choice to travel. It’s okay, we’re humans, our brains can have multiple thoughts. It’s not trolling.


Sorry! Rant over, it’s just exhausting listening to people defend his choice to go on holiday!

I feel we're aiming a bit high here...

I am so happy to find this thread I’m suffering from extreme Captain Moore fatigue. I respect him becoming a figurehead for raising money but competitive grief is absolutely nauseating.

The calls for a knighthood, statue, state funeral are madness I’ve been considering admitting myself to a psychiatric ward but before I found this thread I was beginning to think I’m the only sane one.

The whole charade has made me think about George Michael and what an incredibly generous, empathetic man who helped others because he felt it was the right thing to do and would have been mortified by attention.

I need Tracy-Ann Oberman to play her in the movie

The Captain Tom "phenomenon" felt jingoistic to me, ties in with "the good old days, take back control by voting for Brexit, keep Britain British, god bless our veteran heroes and keep supporting the war". I've no issue with war veterans and admire some, but sick of every one of them being painted as heroes, they are human too. I don't wear a poppy and respect others right to choose to wear one or not to.

I refuse to wear one when it became ok to start bashing anyone who didn’t. Live and let live. I am also very reluctant to pretend every veteran is a hero. We have a lot of atoning to do in this country. My grandfather survived a German prison of war camp and returned a hero. He also returned violent and beat my grandmother and father. I really wish history was more honest about the realities of ‘winning’ a war. It comes at a price and no one in this country wants to talk about that.

At a time when the only excitement we had was banging pots and pans on our front doors, I think the public got taken in by the formula of NHS + WW2 veteran X Covid = Saint.

Hannah's not one to miss a trick...

had to post this haven’t seen a single comment defending them!

He looks like he has been churned out by Tory party HQ as the next generation of bastards who will fuck the country and their fellow humans if it gets them to the trough quicker

I keep seeing people saying that because he raised so much money he deserved his pandemic holiday and for his family to be with him at the end. I’m wondering just how much money you have to raise for the general public to think it’s acceptable to flout the rules and guidelines that we’ve all been forced to adhere to for the best part of a year? £10m, £20m? Does raising more money mean that your spot in hospital with your family around you has been earned?

Ha ha look what @Vulnavia put in the meme thread

You know the bit that gets me?
His last words apparently were along the lines of “you can do or be anything you want”.
Really????

I lost my Dad last month - no family vigil allowed by the bedside, no special privileges for us - we had to say our goodbyes over the telephone.
I felt like my heart was being ripped out but my Dad and I both said what we wanted to say under such dreadful circumstances.
If during that call my Dad’s final words had been some “inspirational quote” I honestly would have been devastated.
Ours was a final call between a loving father and daughter, something meaningful just to us - not something to relay to the rest of the world.

“It’s almost #griftmas time again. My father Saint Captain Sir Tom Moore loved this most special season. It was his dying wish I continued to rake lots of money in, in his holy name. What’s your favourite way to steal cash off innocent people on social media? Let me know in the comments. My husband Colin and I are raising a glass of King Saint Captain Sir Tom Moore gin to you all. Merry Griftmas! Love, Hannah xx”

I read on Twitter someone say, "According to Hannah Captain Tom said more on his death bed than Del Boys mum."
