How dare you! He'd been dreaming of an all-inclusive Sandals resort holiday in Barbados since the 1920s.
Especially a fatal one!
This thread remains comedy gold, funniest one on Tattle.

She must have been dying for an MBE/OBE, thank fuck she's been shown up for what she is, a grifting power hungry arrogant woman

I hated the way they made that holiday out to be a 'bucket list' experience for Captain Tom, to try and justify it. They were an affluent family, could have gone to Barbados any time years before that.
I read in his book that after his wife passed away, he would take various holidays with his family... places like India and South Africa, so it's not like he hadn't experienced travelling the world before.

That holiday was for Hannah.

Don't be giving her ideas. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if she did something like that.

£10 to walk around the garden, £10 admission into the house, £5 compulsory souvenir booklets and so on.
Oh and a selfie with her, and other members of the family. Prices on application.

Is any celeb who originally supported Captain Tom still actively supporting Hannah and the foundation? Or have they all distanced themselves?

I think it’s terrible she’s sullied his name. I get the hero worship went a bit far but it was a nice, feel good story during the pandemic. Instead it’s always going to be murky.

I was just thinking the same earlier.

Plus she has made a jeer of him with all the nonsense tagging Nigella and suchlike, oh he loved your recipe for such and such. I actually thought that was a pisstake at the time but it wasn't.

And when you saw the photos of the old man, barely sitting up in a wheelchair, it was so disturbing. I still can't believe they did such a horrendous thing. Evil.
Agreed and people were tripping over themselves to defend it all. People were grassing their neighbour who lived alone up to the police for having a cuppa with their friend but Captain Tom jets off to the Bahamas and gets passed around like a parcel and it was “good for him” complete madness.

I remember a relative waxing lyrical about the amazing old man walking for the NHS. I avoid TV at the best of times. In my head a voice was saying "it's all bullshit. You've all gone fucking insane you covid nutters". What with the gruesome (hilarious lyrics ) singing families and people out banging pots and pans on a Thursday night, clapping etc ...the cringing was real. It's weird to think it all happened.

people out banging pots and pans on a Thursday night
It was moving when they did that originally (in Italy I think it was?) because the applause was spontaneous and showed people's appreciation of the healthcare workers. But when the government got hold of the 'enforced clapping' idea, the vibes became less heartwarming, more Stalinist. Just give the nurses PPE so they don't die, thanks! No need to accost them with saucepans.

Also Nurses being woken up by the pots & pans. Weren't there musicians out too. It was all the pressure too..."what do you mean you're not going to stand on your doorstep & clap? Shame on you "

Oh the clapping . I remember doing it the first week and thinking ‘oh sod this’ it became a keeping up and beating the Joneses competition of who could make the most noise to plaster all over Facebook.

There was always some twat on the news that dressed up every week for it as well.

I remember the first week in my area it was barely a clap to be heard, as the weeks went on and on the claps got louder and louder than descended into madness as it became a full scale competition I think I took part in the first and second week then clocked out
