I think some people on the internet are pretending to lack any ability to form cohesive thoughts beyond emojis and typing ‘vile rum’ in all caps. The mainstream media are running like rabid dogs trying to control the narrative, whilst mere days ago talking down to anyone who set foot out of the uk ( imo he was mostly likely a victim of elder abuse as he looked frail and glum in the holiday pics). You would think he was the only war vet alive.
Tom Moore raised money for the NHS ( which isn’t a charity), raised money through donations. Donations that built up due to the fact he was a vulnerable, elderly man (WW2 veteran) staying at home but doing what he could to raise awareness to his cause.
Awareness was raised. ( with his daughter and her giant xxxl smile and sat next to him like he couldn’t communicate in every tv spot she could get).
Pretending that the trip was essential is bizarre. Pretending that the holiday didn’t cause all of this is even more bizarre. My great uncle is 92 and his children would never risk his health ( and extended family wouldn’t look kindly on ‘oh well at that age you may as well’, that notion that being reckless is okay because you’re so old).
( if the son in law was posting until Jan the 9th I heard some mention...and he came back immediately dealing with pneumonia pretty obvious that the long haul flight and photo opportunities with no mask in sight may have endangered him)
end of the day he as 100.
