The level of detail!!! OMG!!

There is some dust out there whispering "Fuck you for killing me and making me walk when I just wanted to sit down with a Mr Kipling. You greedy little bitch "

We salute you dust.

Personally I think the daughter is as dodgy as the day is long, and he's being completely exploited.

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.

Quick reminder that if you’ve become the nation’s sweetheart/a millionaire probably ten times over on royalties and the likes/the most well known man(family) in the United Kingdom on the back of your quest to “save the overstretched NHS”

you then live a life beyond your wildest dreams for 8/10 months,

and you STILL need to ignore government advice (even if it’s not law) and go on a freebie with the familym putting pressure on the NHS because of this decision.

you're a selfish idiot. You might be a cute little selfish idiot. But you’re a selfish idiot.
and I fully believe if he wasn’t a little frail old man from an affluent area he wouldn’t receive as much attention as he did/support he is now.
4 stone heavier with a history of receiving government assistance would he have met the queen or just got a “trophy” from the Sun Newspaper.

Stupid cow. ‘Inspired the world’?! I doubt any fucker outside the U.K has ever heard of him, and it’s not trolling to question the behaviour or motives of someone.

I feel like this is the one place i can say my piece! I made a post before Tom died saying that it was so irresponsible of his family to take him there, when i wont even see my 83 year old grandad who lives alone and is entitled to a bubble, because we do not want to put him at risk and he is petrified of dying alone in hospital so he doesn't see anyone, and wont until hes recieved his second vaccine. I have a family friend who has continuously made facebook posts about those 'slagging Tom off' and hopes that they all feel crap now! I knew it was about me, so i told her how i felt and that i didn't feel crap, it is terribly sad that he has died, but 100,000 others in the UK have died from coronavirus, unable to fulfill their bucket lists and haven't been clapped for. We have majorly fallen out over this and i just can't believe the hipocrisy. A road near us had a 'street party' where everyone stayed on their own driveways, whilst one neighbour did a dj set just after christmas. She was first on the bandwagon saying how unacceptable it was even if its out in fresh air! I have seen several of the same people who have been slating the influencers in Dubai - who i do not agree with - but when it's Captain Tom, it's fine! I have had to delete facebook on my phone after seeing post after post and petitions about two minute silences on the day he died and his birthday, statues, his face on currency and his birthday to become a national holiday etc. Posts about those who disagree with him going away being 'scum' and 'evil'. Another point noted was that his family, after being with him on his death bed, whilst he had covid, were not isolating at all (as seen during the clap)?? Maybe i am just cold hearted, but i really can't understand the outpour. What he did for the NHS was great at his age, but without public donations, no one would even know who he is!! Rant over!

What is she hoping to achieve with this interview, I wonder! I think sympathy will be - rightly - in very short supply.

Think it's leading up to a final mea culpa where she admits Tom said "Hannah, please just let me sit here and eat my Werther's Originals in peace. And no you can't have the money for stables and a helipad."

Then after watching Death in Paradise she bundled him off to Barbados and paid Cliff to cough on him.

Awww I miss Captain Tom feeling very emotional today as it's lockdown 1 year on and he was really light of a grim year

I miss my Dad who, like the 126,000+ others, was not given special treatment.

I'd still like the ASA to actually fine them, the Barbados tourist bord and BA over breaking the rules on not disclosing advertising. No way did they pay for the holiday that had a high percentage chance of being what killed him. They could have been paid thousands by those companies

The second he got on that ‘plane during the pandemic his daughter signed his death certificate.
She should feel that guilt for the rest of her life, yet instead she still exploits his name. Shame on her.

Another Twitter find.

Just a note of congratulations to everyone in this thread for being on the case since the beginning.

I bet you are loving every minute of the DM headlines.

Tattle deserves some positive press for this!!

One of my neighbours is still out there, clapping alone. They've been at it by themselves for nearly 4 mins now! Like a seal can't imagine anything weirder than standing alone in the dark clapping for someone you'd never heard of this time last year??

BBC announcing a permanent memorial.
Ffs
BBC called him a 'cherished son' .....what?!

And the family announced they spent hours with him laughing before he passed away.

The journalist sounds like he's been crying.
I can't bear it.


This has kept me going! The pandemic is horrific but this outpouring of 'grief' could finish us off.

I was 14 when Princess Diana died so I didn't really care or get it. However I can imagine it's very much the same as the captain Tom hysteria.

This is nothing on the Di hysteria.

My husband was at an airport in Europe the day Di died, traveling back to UK. He was stopped while queuing at check in on live telly, the journo asking him how he felt about Di’s tragic death. The reply was “I don’t give a shit mate, this is a flight to Scotland”

A relative of a mine passed away last week. He didn't have his family there to hold his hand - his wife and daughters said goodbye via a video call from the hospital car park as they were not allowed in.

I am furious with the special treatment this guy has received. He is no more important than any other person. He may have inspired people to donate, but it was the generousity of those who donated that raised the money for charity.

We've had drama on our local Facebook page. Someone put up a post selling a walking frame saying "for sale, only a 100 laps" and there's a right row about it all. Possibly a bit soon.

I was expressing an opinion too so mine is just as valid as yours. I still think it’s disgusting

You are entitled to your opinion, as is everyone else. I will say that if you haven't read other threads, you won't understand what happens here. At first glance, it may appear just bitchy, but a lot of the comments are tongue in cheek. We make each other laugh a lot with silly comments. It's respite from the very difficult world we're living in. The point is that if everyone is allowed to be positive about everything, everyone should be allowed to express their concerns and doubts about issues.

I haven't seen anything criticising Sir Tom. He was a lovely man whose fundraising and positivity made a massive difference to lots of people. What people are doing is criticising what many people are expressing on numerous forums. Things have gone way over the top. I understand why this is happening, but people on any number of forums are saying the same thing. Importantly, people are mentioning time time again how other victims of Covid, including a large number of NHS workers, have not been recognised. They are a number, except they're absolutely not.

Sir Tom caught the mood of the nation and beyond, at a time when we all needed some positive to pin our hopes on. The money raised was phenomenal, but that was because millions of people donated to the NHS. He was a kind and nice man, but he walked 100 laps. NHS staff have endured and are enduring a living hell, yet I've seen lots of comments online from people saying they don't deserve any praise or recognition because they were doing their job. These comments disgust me, as do the anti-vaxxers, Covid deniers, those who say wearing a mask is a muzzle etc. Working for the NHS should not involve dying. These comments are potentially very dangerous, mocking people saying Sir Tom should have a statue in Trafalgar Square are not.

You have completely misunderstood the comments. Our criticism and ridicule is aimed at those we believe are getting really silly and the things they say, not Sir Tom. But if you don't like these comments, it's a bit like not liking a tv show. Turn over, go elsewhere, enjoy your day as much as possible in these horrible times and stay safe.
