And Piers Morgan too. Have they shown any support towards Hannah recently or have they mysteriously stayed quiet?
From new musical Phantom of the Popular Media Event.
It was ruddy awful, so tacky. Can't imagine anyone "choosing" to listen to it.
There are other charities for older people that Hannah could have jointly worked with but she wanted one all of her own for selfish reasons - financial gain and personal recognition. She said the Captain Tom Day would have been the first one and on a par with Children in Need and Comic Relief so she's planning for it to be an annual event. So ridiculous and unnecessary.What was the need for a Captain T day anyway? We hardly need a day to commemorate someone walking round their garden!
With the original date in June if feels like a blatant attempt to shoehorn themselves into the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Bet we’d have seen HI-M doing her Wimbledon wave on the palace balcony obscuring HMTQ from view
So did the money Tom raised by doing the walk go to the charities or was the 'foundation' set up whilst he was doing it? I'm just wondering if there was like two separate pots of money. One for the original 'event' and then one for all the media stuff after.
Exactly this. It's not the fact she was wanting a salary for her work (and by God, I've never seen anyone work as hard to shoehorn themselves into absolutely everything). It's the fact she wanted/expected such a huge one for a brand new and relatively mid-tier charity that was always going to struggle once public interest inevitably started to wane. She immediately began siphoning off the cash to their own pockets instead of trying to make it a sustainable venture.
It was pure greed. They saw what it could have meant for them and wanted the rewards immediately without any of the actual. A speedrun of 'how to ruin a good thing'
The walk money went to the NHS charities. I think the foundation was after...and then donated 40k to a couple of charities and then more to "consultants" than was donated lol
First I knew of the song was then the played it at his funeral, I thought it was a joke and couldn't stop laughing
I must admit I’ve never heard their version of the song, not even a snippet. Never watched his funeral. No idea how I got away without hearing it but seems like I dodged a bullet!First I knew of the song was then the played it at his funeral, I thought it was a joke and couldn't stop laughing
A bloody Michael Buble song was recorded specially for the funeral, a cover of "Smile". I can't stand Buble, he gives me the creeps and I hate his voice and songs.
Cynical cow that I am, I was uneasy from the start about the walk and media manipulation so fortunately never heard the Ball/Tom song.
Can't stand Buble and his cheesy made for Magic FM songs.
I wince whenever I hear his crimbo songs in shops, he's unavoidable at that time of year.
I have to confess I have liked a couple of his Christmas covers, but soon as he spouts his own original stuff, he's like feckin combination of westlife, Boyzone and Thorntons chocolates all mixed together
I went and sought it out on YouTube, it was everything I hoped it would be and more
Edit: of course I meant the song not the funeral
Has been put on hold for the time being by Esther Rantzen. I did read that hannah contacted Esther to suggest the idea in the first place, a sort of Children In Need for older people
That song . I’m still in recovery.
. I’m still in recovery.Makes me sound like Celine Dion in comparissonThat song
Which isn't strictly the worst idea. We have an aging population and a lot of issues faced by older adults simply aren't given enough thought, funding or fixes. But there are much more established charities who could helm such a cause because finding these solutions is their whole focus (unlike the CTF who literally only seem to exist to shift flowers and gin).Has been put on hold for the time being by Esther Rantzen.

Hannah just wants to turn her dad into the new Pudsey.
The problem with Hannah wanting to run that foundation is she is just so out of touch with what actually happens in the real world. She is in her own privileged bubble where no doubt they could afford to have carers in to help her father remain independent at home etc. I don’t believe she has it in her to understand the social care crisis in this country- the elderly people with no help or family, the ones who live alone needing help and going under the radar, the ones who can’t afford food or heat. She has no idea what’s happened in care homes especially the last few years, staff leaving because of stress and they can’t find replacements when they were understaffed to start with, staff losing jobs because they won’t get vaccinated, neglect in care homes and hospitals due to understaffing, isolation due to covid restrictions in care homes.
Elderly people stuck in hospital ready to be discharged for weeks or months but there are no care packages available because not enough staff to provide the care. I could go on, these are the tip of the iceberg and I bet Hannah in her bubble wouldn’t know about the half of it.
More absolutely needs to be done, and it’s the governments responsibility. The foundation wouldn’t have had a clue how to help anyone. Hannah would have no doubt paid hundreds of thousands in salaries to consultants (aka people she knew) for advice on issues and how to solve them when she would have been able to find this out for free by talking to any carer or anyone with a family member in a care home. In my opinion it’s really as simple as paying carers a decent wage for their work- not minimum wage, and this would go a long way to recruiting and retaining staff and make a start resolving the social care crisis. Hannah wouldn’t know that know this though as she’s never had to live on minimum wage and I doubt she ever cared for Tom a day in her life unless you class wheeling him out during a pandemic for photoshoots
