Let’s look at it this way, they flew from one of the worst infected countries in the World to Barbados, an Island with only two hospitals, just for fun. It wasn’t essential travel, a “bucket list” isn’t a right. They just wanted a holiday, during a global pandemic.
It’s entitled behaviour and putting others at risk is sickening.

I am not trying to be nasty, it is deeply saddening to hear of his death.

But I disagree with his family taking him abroad when it was made very clear to stay at home. Regardless of negative tests, I do think they have blood on there hands.

Whether people agree or disagree I will not be losing any sleep, it is solely my opinion. In a pandemic, the last thing on my mind is to go to a foreign country especially with an older more vulnerable relative. But that is that.

I haven’t seen my family in over a year to keep them safe, we miss them deeply & just cannot wait to see them when it is safe to so.

So, let me get this straight, he flew to Barbados with pneumonia? Please tell me this isn't true!! Because the pneumonia could have been Covid.
The familys story is that he couldn't have the jab because of pneumonia medication.
No way would he travel with pneumonia, I just can't see an airline allowing that. So it means he got it on his return, or yes.. he was being treated for pneumonia whilst waiting for a covid test.
Point is, if they had delayed the flight for a few weeks then he'd have had the jab. We all knew they were coming, maybe they missed that memo in amongst the free flight ones

All the very elderly I know dont even go out at the moment. Its sad that he passed over but his family should'nt have taken him to Barbados in the middle of a pandemic when the message was very clearly to stop at home.
I completely agree.
my neighbours are 75 & I haven’t seen them for months, I check in via text message & they’re both doing okay but I think it’s clear to see, the elderly need to remain home.

8th Dec was the first vaccine. He would’ve been vaccinated long before now if they were still in the U.K. What a shame. Gotta take that freebie hollibobs though!

He had terminal cancer ,decided along with his doctors not to go down the treatment route.

Yeah that’s better than raising 30mil 🤨 He never broke rules. He never spread Covid from there to here or vice versa. If he hurt anyone it was himself. And I can’t see him being kidnapped to Barbados so wouldn’t think it’s the family’s fault either.
He never spread covid 🙄 how do you know this? We should all be operating assuming we have covid and then maybe we'll stop spreading it. It was utterly ridiculous and selfish and ignorant to travel for fun. It was non essential travel. He and his family were part of the problem.

Michael Ball on the The One Show talking about his loss and how he has spoken to Hannah. Alex saying how close Michael was to him . So it begins.

I'm confused that people keep saying he didn't catch it from the holiday and didn't spread it to anyone. No one knows that stuff, it's not conclusive either way.

If someone was 90 and raised £50 from a raffle is that good enough to give them a free pass to go on holiday with their family during a pandemic when the advice was clearly only essential travel? It's a worrying precedent. You can't decide to let people you like flout the rules and only berate those that you dislike. That's madness.
the family kept his illness quite until he required palliative care.

that sends out alarm bells, we know nothing about what’s happened since his return, why were the public not asked to pray for him when he first took bad, why did they keep it quite until they knew it was the end?
Guilt?
they can’t say they wanted privacy because that’s not been their aim before, or now.
I feel for him, used by his family, used by the media, used by the government.

sad end.

Let’s see if the holiday gets mentioned . Tom wanted everyone to have the vaccine apparently. Michael Ball talking about him like he was a lifelong friend.
