Oh my fucking god! Can this get any better?

“trolling” once again being used as a synonym for “someone on the internet disagrees with something I said or did”

Reading through the comments on her pinned post on Twitter. Saw this and legitimately near spat out my biscuit, took me by surprise.

What really irks me in all of this is that they're already extremely wealthy; they didn't need any of the grifted money. If they were Mr & Mrs Average salary and this opportunity for a financial windfall came their way, you might feel a tiny bit of empathy, it wouldn't make it right but it would be a little more understandable. But this bunch of money grabbers, no way.

Found this on Twitter

Finally caught up on all the threads and I still can’t get over the audacity of that family.

My Dad and stepmum caught Covid very early on in the pandemic, and the complications that arose from the virus meant my Dad was on oxygen 24/7 and eventually collapsed and died ( at home )… he lived in Scotland so I was unable to visit ( full lockdown measures were in place all over the UK at this point ) but it angers me so much they had I lived nearer, I still wouldn’t have been allowed to see him because of the restrictions. I also couldn’t attend his funeral due to them, and like many others had to watch it online.

The fact that these piss taking pricks could swan in and out of hospital as they pleased, whilst other people ( like a previous poster here who had a relative in the same hospital as CT were only allowed a short visit one at a time is fucking rage inducing.

End of the day, he did a nice thing at a time when the world was quite frankly insane. A nice news story for a couple of days? Absolutely.

The hero worship plus televised funeral that followed? Ridiculous.

The daughter saw an opportunity to line her pockets and boost her profile and grabbed it with both greedy, Grifter grubby mitts. I thought she was a bit weird at the start but as time went on I realised she was a massive chancer. That pool house shit is unreal and I’m glad everything is unravelling now. The only one I feel slightly sorry for is the young daughter who must be being taken the piss out of somewhere? The Tory boy son can get in the bin however - also using his Grandad to boost his own profile and get attention.

On a more cheerful note, that fucking bong has ended me

Best CT merchandise I’ve ever seen and if I took the herb I’d be buying that for prosperity. Also love the Union Jack next to it on Amazon with the words “Made in China”. Just amazing

She's out here trying to drum up interest in a film that will be similar to 'Fisherman's Friends' and they got TWO movies out of their story. I highly doubt that a film, at least the one old Hannah wants, will be made about Captain Tom. He's been dead two years and stories like his are ten a penny in the UK.

There needs to be a film that from the start looks like it’s about Tom, it’s all sunshine and lollipops and then the screen suddenly darkens, a thunder clap is heard in the distance and the screen turns black. Then you hear Olivia Coleman’s voice: ‘Dad, did you do your walking today?’ And then in old typewriter text, the title ‘The Puppeteer's Game’ flashes across the screen. Cut to a final shot of Tom looking apprehensive as Olivia Coleman smiles at him.
It’s rated 18+. Due to violence and scenes of a sexual nature.

Old Tom came at the right time.
Covid…he cheered us up. An old man, and if he could it, well done him.
He raised our spirits.
It was good for him, the exercise, something to am for rather than sitting in a chair all day.
It did take effort on his part, but he did it.
He lifted the spirits of the nation and good for him!

it’s a shame his daughter saw it as a way make money and defiled his name

“Old Tom” was nothing but the product of clever marketing. Other people were doing similar things at that time but because they didn’t have the big house, with the military connection, and the grifting daughter, it was barely put into the public domain.

He didn’t lift my spirits because I saw it for what it was at the start.

Wonder how much of the profits from this went to charity?



I bet Hannah was raging when she saw it

When did Captain Sir Tom Moore travel to Barbados?

CAPTAIN Sir Tom Moore fulfilled a lifetime ambition by jetting off to Barbados shortly before he died on February 2. The family flew out in December before the UK government’s strict rules on…

Not much of a gap between getting back from Barbados, Covid and neumonia.

When he died his family were allowed to traipse in and out of the hospital too, while others had to say goodbye to loved ones on FaceTime. It was gross that they got special treatment.

Anyone know if Elton’s been booked for the funeral yet?

“Goodbye Captain Tom
Though I never knew you at all
I thought this would be a chance to promote myself
While the thickos out there mass bawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they clapped on their doorstep for Tik Tok fame
Now your daughter’s brought out a treadmill
And she’s trademarked it with your name”

Crying laughing at this

I hope she ends up in prison. Vile woman. Another thing Tattlers were right about all along

The only bit out of this whole saga that I like is the British humour. Now, whenever anyone notable dies, they do one of those memes of the people in the cloud of heaven, often someone photoshops in Captain Tom with his zimmer frame Makes me chuckle everytime, you can't beat meme humour.

Then I also remember that gawd awful Never Walk Alone track he did with Michael Ball my goodness how I cackled when I heard that. There's something about hearing a 99 year old man trying to sing in step with Michael Ball, against a very over produced track. Appalling that that track was inflicted upon us. It's still on youtube, if you want to make your ears die.

This is my favourite and I would love to go to a pilchard party!

If I thought they were still taking submissions I would write in about the time I got separated from my family and how it was thanks to my elderly neighbour, our local church and the kindness of a travelling band that I was finally reunited with my mother in time for Christmas, signed Kevin in Chicago

I am literally biting my tongue at work when people are talking about it over teams maybe I’ll stand on my doorstep at 6pm tonight and yell ‘HE WENT ON HOLIDAY IN A PANDEMIC’

Yet another time Tattlers have been vindicated! It very quickly and very obviously became pretty dodgy but people were angry that we were talking about it.

Should have been left as a 2 minute good news story at the end of the news one day.

I expect the price of sir captain tom bikinis to plummet

I never had anything against the guy. Some old bloke walking around his massive garden for charity (well, a publicly-funded national health service anyway): fine. It was the turning of him into a god-like figure that annoyed me, and then the daughter wheeling him out at every opportunity, taking him on a Caribbean holiday (from which he got the covid that killed him if I remember correctly) that was definitely something he really wanted and not something she was into (yeah right). It always felt like something dodgy was going on behind the scenes. Annoying how any criticism of the whole thing was usually met with the same reaction as if you'd climbed up onto a church alter and done a shit during someone's wedding. Hopefully this inquiry reveals the truth.
