Captain Sir Tom Moore #4

[Phoenix Lazarus]

This article from a year ago is interesting. It's a potted biography of Hannah and tells how she had the idea for Tom's fund-raising venture. It came just after Tom's death. Did a journalist just approach Hannah for an interview or was she more proactive in getting it into the press?

All about Captain Tom Moore's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore

HANNAH Ingram-Moore became a public figure after her late father became a national hero during the Covid-19 pandemic. Captain Sir Tom Moore raised £32,796,436 in donations for the NHS by walking 10…

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned on threads past that, if Barbados was something Captain Tom had a burning desire to do before he left this earth, then why wait 90 years to do it? He had the means to jet off there whenever he fancied!
Isn't it gratifying to finally see HIM in the spotlight she never wanted?

Just read it was H.suggestion to do the laps in the garden or was it persuasion and control?
she was always at the poor man’s side
Now that the foundation is being investigated and if is found to be illegal would it not amount to be elderly abuse!

I even seem to recall reading that the family have a holiday home in Barbados as well anyway!

Tom had just had a hip(?) replacement so was doing the walking as prescribed exercise.

Exactly! He (and the family) had the means, time and money to go to Barbados at any time they so wished. It was even stated in many interviews that he travelled to Burma all by himself when he was in his 80's/90's to revisit where he served. I never understood why the Barbados trip could only be achieved during a global pandemic. I never believed the bullshit about it being on his bucket list when it could have been achieved at numerous points during his life.

I am pleased that family is being investigated. No doubt there will be fans who'll shrill "typical British media scum, build them up and bring 'em down ".
They'll soon be lasering over their "tomorrow/good day blah blah" tattoos.

Predict Hannah's statement in response to this controversy? Still radio silence over at the Foundation.

I wonder what's going to come of that film that was supposedly in the works about the Captain Tom affair, now that the story's starting to look less feel-good.

It sounded like the worst idea for a film ever. Flashbacks to his war days maybe interspersed with shots of him struggling around the garden on his zimmer frame. Best supporting actress Oscar for whoever plays Hannah!

I also wondered at the time when Hannah talked about "trolls" was she including in that people like ourselves who had voiced reasonable concerns about the whole endeavour.

I hope the Captain Tom film has the bit where he went on the 1980 Christmas special of Blankety Blank. That will be great.

Remember at the time when anyone expressed concern/the ridiculousness about him being dragged to Barbados in a pandemic, there was a slew of statuses/articles of ‘cApTaiN ToM cAn dO whAtEvER hE LiKeS.’

what a time that was!!!

featuring the hits
I would walk 500 miles
Money money money
Woah! We’re going to Barbados

Woah! We’re going to Barbados

That's always been a song I liked. I'm glad that wasn't the one that Tom ended up ruining!

 

[CookieZippy]

Russ Abbot could be in it and perform that great hit "Atmosphere".

Where was that said?

A lawyer was invited on LBC to talk about the money being eaten, his take was they probably had to pay more for things like professional video makers as interest grew and they needed to up their production values.

Like is this guy aware of mobiles these days, all you need is a 12 year old and a modern phone. If anything social media is about the armature "real" content. So many excuses that don't add up.
