As terrible as HIM is, it was the gullible masses who absolutely lapped it all up.

The way people acted during covid was sheep-mentality at its finest and she capitalized on that. Yes maybe she is a grifter and bad person but instead of wasting time being angry with her, maybe the masses need to rethink how easily led along they all are.

Getting suspect vaccines, banging pots at night like a moron, cheering an old man who walked round a garden, getting angry when neighbour's had a friend over.

Everyone acted so fucking stupidly I think most people should be ashamed of how they acted themselves. They are probably just projecting their anger at Hannah too because she made a complete fool out of a country of fools.
Didn’t pay a penny to his fund or cheer him at all.
I am proud not ashamed that I followed the rules to keep those vulnerable in my life safe.
If you wish to discuss vaccines I believe there is a thread for just that and it has no relevance to Captain Tom.

Imagine admitting your family made your 99 year old grandad walk around the garden 100 times though. Wouldn't be surprised if some footage emerges in years to come with Hannah in a bush with a cattle prod.

I've nursed a lot of people at the end, during this pandemic, and they were allowed ONE visitor at a time, for 15 minutes. Obviously the rules were relaxed for this gentleman, but I would imagine there are a lot of people who are extremely upset and grieving for their loved ones, unable to support them in their final moments.

I have just been watching GMB and they had Hancock on. I cant stand that smug cunt at the best of times. What i cant understand is it says the money has been used for mental health services and wellbeing rooms, but are those not the services that were shut down due to the lack of funding by the government?
Also his daughter- im glad im not the only one who thinks she looks dodgy.

But if we are happy for one family to fly out to Barbados where does it stop? I hope the people who think it’s ok that he went to Barbados are ok with influencers going travelling. Nobody should be travelling.

There is terminally ill people who’ve died before getting to go where they want or been delayed going to get treatment that could prolong their life. There is so many circumstances.

They are also clearly a very well off family so why did they not take him to Barbados 2/3 years ago ?

I am glad he had his family around him in his last moments but I do find it heartbreaking that other families haven’t had this opportunity.

Of course walking around the garden is nothing compared to ICU staff done but he was a 99 year old Veteran. What more could he have done?
stayed at home like 99.999999999999999999999% of the rest of us?
that would have been enough all along, may care homes are filled with elderly being asked to do the same to protect themselves and the NHS.

So he is on a ward and he is surrounded by his family? Why is he allowed family with him when everyone else has to suffer alone?

It may sound harsh but they’ve all done pretty well out of this charity thing.

I can’t believe her and her husband took a massive shit on her Dad’s legacy. It could have ended after a few months or so but no they forced him to go to Barbados, made a charity, started merchandising left, right and centre. Not everything has to last forever - it could have been a nice story that people remember from lockdown ‘remember that old man who did those laps, wasn’t that nice?’ Now it’s going to be ‘remember that old man who did those laps? His daughter and son in law completely ruined what he did because of their greed.’
Captain Tom is always going to be connected with a spa pool from now on.
He never had a legacy in the first place, it’s all smoke and mirrors concocted by PR agent that is Hannah, she was the one contacting all the media outlets.

I doubt very much he thought up the idea of the laps, it wasn’t even his garden to lap in the first place, he was a puppet in all of this.

The only thing he really achieved was to live to 100 and outlast the bigger heroes of the war imo.

The fact that he broadcast that his first marriage ended because it was sexless (so obviously HE wasn’t to blame) told me all I needed to know about this “gentleman”.
What really happened IMO is that he traded his first wife in for a younger model (Hannah’s mother). They can dress it up all they like, but I thought the way he wrote about her was awful when she’s not around to defend herself and neither is anyone else who knew her.

I'm so glad that I have found this thread! I'm usually the person who gets called a "SJW" or a "leftie" by people if I can be arsed to engage in arguments on Facebook because apparently I shouldn't be concerned about what other people are doing 🙄

I respect that he fought in the war as many others have but as @Gymandtonic put it - it really does play into the "populist, nationalist, pro Brexit, anti foreigner, bring back the Empire mentality." I wonder if he would get the same treatment if he didn't serve in the war? It sounds awful, but I think that the government were waiting for someone like Captain Tom to come along to play into this "Make Britain Great again" narrative. Or at least they're using it to their advantage.

I've been jumped on because I have said that while he wasn't exactly forced to raise the money, but it was the people's money that were used towards the NHS. The NHS which we pay taxes for yet somehow these last 10 years or so, the NHS is still underfunded and understaffed. We shouldn't NEED to have to rely on the people's money and an elderly man if our taxes were being used properly. It's the same with other charities and food banks. I've seen a lot of people say that we "need to look after our own" but are the same people who complain about free school meals, Internet access to all etc yet the same people are more concerned about "foreigners" in our country.

Sorry that this turned into more of a political rant. All of this just highlights how backwards and flawed our "great" country is.
