[TV] Captain Sir Tom Moore - *Died 2 Feb 2021*

[jakarta]

Literally a Serviceman his whole life...

 

[Algernon]

R.I.P. Sir Tom.
Well played.

His funeral today.

His funeral today.

Minutes applause at all games today?

Minutes applause at all games today?

Not sure.

 

[darkwolf666]

Not sure.

Think players should drop taking the knee for one game and show respect to an old soldier!

Always thought his family were pushing the whole ‘Captain Tom’ thing hard. Raised an eyebrow to see his grandson on ‘celebs on dating’ and now turns out his family took out more money from the charity as ‘consultancy fees’ than was paid to the British Legion

Hmm, my wife and I both thought early on that the daughter had an ‘eye for the main chance’.
Never took to her.

 

[B-right-on]

He'll be literally turning in his grave at his money grabbing family.

 

[Icy Gull]

Had a rethink having read later comments, so have deleted what I originally wrote

 

[banjo]

Pity they didn’t have the decency or honesty Sir Tom had. Money can bring out the worst in people.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Don't where to find it online, but I saw, via a post on Twitter, that you could buy a Captain Tom 'throw' for your bed online somewhere.

It's about 30 notes, if anyone's interested, but goodness only knows where that money goes

Under the mattress?

 

[Turkeydove]

I did not know he had passed away, he was amazing, a true hero in my eyes, thankyou for your service

 

[Badger Boy]

This is about as surprising as finding out there were lockdown breaches in government. No surprises whatsoever, it was inevitably going to come out at some point. I was stunned by how many people seemed genuinely surprised by Boris and his mates taking the p*ss left, right and centre but I find it hard to believe people weren't expecting the family of Captain Sir Tom to bank a healthy chunk of cash.

The truth always, always comes out on the end.

 

[clapham_gull]

This puts a very different spin on it.

It's a completely new concern separate from the money raised for the NHS. According to the above, the "costs" are quite usual when you set a charity up for the first time.

No idea, but don't blame the messenger.

As the story above says, the money they have raised has nothing to do with the money raised during lockdown.

Where did the original accusation come from?
