Ok, so, i have been debating about posting my thoughts about him and his passing. Firstly i am sorry for his family and to those that knew him, of course i am.
Right, just what the actual fuck is going on?! We have Piers Morgan and Philip Schofield of all people calling anyone trolls who dares question anything about Tom and his family?
Flag has been at half mast.
There is a petition to get him a state funeral.
His vulture of a daughter (actually, that is offensive to vultures) phoned Piers before the statement was released? What? Was that really at the top of her list of things to do? ''Oh lets phone my mate Piers'' - what?!
Ok.
1) His family were allowed to be with him in his final days and moments. Although i don't think his other daughter was? Which is so wrong.
Also, why were his family allowed? When so many other people have had to be alone, with only a doctor/nurse/carer at their side when they have been seriously ill or dying? So many people have lost people during the pandemic, many due to covid, but also many due to other reasons, were they allowed to be with them? To support them? To comfort them? No! So why did he get that special treatment? Since he also had covid, i thought that would be a high risk, letting alot of people in with him? It just seems the rule book went out the window for him and his family.
Or rather, what did his daughter say to get that special treatment, as she is a piece of work..
I also feel sorry for his other daughter who you actually don't hear much of/about. She seems to have been cast aside and really forgotten (not by him, but by the media and everyone else, or so it seems..)
2) That whole Barbados trip. What the flying fuck were they thinking? ''Oh lets have a jolly during a pandemic'' - i know it was on his bucket list, but i am sure the other people who have died had a bucket list or things they wanted to do, but they had no hope of doing those things. So who thought it was a wise idea to send a 100 year old guy, on a plane, during a bloody pandemic? I am sure his daughter ( the money who was in every interview) loved that holiday.
Yet, if anyone says anything about that, suddenly we are the bad ones? But sure, lets criticise other people who have been jetting off to Dubai and other places (they should be criticised), that is bad, but someone going on Barbados is fine? No. None of it is ok! Don't go on a flipping holiday during a pandemic! Just no no no!
3) The government used this man as a pawn. A distraction. ''Oh lets focus on this old man raising money for the NHS'' - That will be a good distraction from the mess the UK is in with Brexit, their botched handling of the pandemic and everything else.
Not only that, wasn't it for NHS charities he raised money for? But the government were quite happy to let people believe he was raising money for the NHS itself, which plays right into the government's hands.. Also, like i said previously on his first thread, in the interviews, whenever the money was mentioned, it was never mentioned that the NHS is not a charity, again the government probably loved that fact. The family just let the whole NHS being a charity thing play out..
He was trying to do something good, which is admirable, but it has really gotten out of control.
4) What about the other people who tried raising money? You barely heard of them. I wonder if they feel even the slightest bit pissed off that even though they might not have raised the amount he did, they still tried and did something amazing, but it has been ignored? The media made it out like he was the only one doing something.
5) The state funeral? WHAT???? So many people have not been able to give their loved ones the funerals they deserve/would give them if there wasn't a pandemic going about. Many people have not even been able to go to loved ones funerals. Or only certain members of the family have and others have had to watch over zoom and things like that. Yet, there is a petition to give him a state funeral? How? Why?
I really do not want to disrespect the man, as i am sure he did what he did with the best of intentions. He wanted to do something good, something positive, and i don't imagine he thought of just how well known he would become, and i do hope he rests in peace, i really do.
I am just dismayed and, i can't even explain. Just wtf is going on?!
I have even seen things on social media saying the UK has lost a hero, other news channels all over the world have been discussing him and his sad passing and his achievements.
I better stop here as no doubt i am one of those nasty big trolls Piers and Phillip like to talk about. I mean really, they should take a look in the mirror before they throw the word 'troll' about..
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.
maybe I’ll stand on my doorstep at 6pm tonight and yell ‘HE WENT ON HOLIDAY IN A PANDEMIC’
