Yep agreed - I don’t know what his family did or didn’t do but this just constant stuff must be horrible for them.
When loved ones die it is hard enough seeing reminders everyday but this must make it horrible for them, over and over.
Let him rest.

Hannah Ingram Moore admits pocketing £800K.

The idea of Piers Morgan hammering someone for unethical behaviour is a marvel to behold. However, either the daughter trousered nearly a million quid that should have (sorry, it's the Sun; should of) gone to charity, or not. From what I can see this money was from the old man's book sales and the money intended for the daughter. So, on this occasion, Morgan is spreading nonexistent muck. Fancy that.
However I am not sure how The Sun is exploiting the old man for money. The old man is dead. This is simply the sort of ghoulish shit the Sun readers lap up every day.

Isn’t this how they are exploiting him?
…..they should have thought of that before they started siphoning off the cash……

I looked it up and the money is from the book sales which is separate from the Captain Tom Foundation which went to NHS workers. I believe there was a doubt about her role in the foundation by paying herself a salary, but if Sir Tom left the revenue from the books, to her, in his will, then she isn't doing anything wrong?
The Charities Commission is investigating so maybe wait for their conclusions because we hang draw and quarter her.

It all sounds a bit crafty and the family do look sketchy but at the end of the day Captain Tom with the help of his family raised £39million for charity (i would like to know how much reached the NHS though).
The family kept proceeds from the 3 books which equated to £800k...... IF Tom said that was his wishes and they have proof, I'm not sure what the problems are.
Sounds like the media creating controversy to sell news.

Please read the prologue to his autobiography;I looked it up and the money is from the book sales which is separate from the Captain Tom Foundation which went to NHS workers.

There are muddy waters which is why I will wait for the conclusions from the Charity Commission.
But the book does strongly suggest that the proceeds are going to charity (and therefore people were misled), doesn't it? I think that's fair to say, whatever the Commission concludes.

The family got lucky, in covid millions was raised and they used the media to promote what has now ended up as a nice little earner for them. I'm sure it already on this thread but latest set of accounts show income from donations and legacies of £400k and salaries of £180k of which £64k is to her husband, almost half of the income lost on salaries and there is £24k to a company they owned.
With regards to the book, how many copies were sold because people thought they buying it to raise charitable funds

And it was all of his grandchildren/great grandchildren that did that? It was the entire family tree of people that loved him?
Absolutely no sympathy for his daughter as she has sought to financially gain from his charity. She already had a company so it wasn't as if she was naive about business. Add in the fact they decided to build the extension/spa despite planning permission not being for that shows how conniving they are.
TBF multiple reports suggest the £39m went direct to the NHS…..

'There is no suggestion that Ms Ingram-Moore did anything illegal by keeping the money from the book sales, rather than donating it to her late father's charity'
The above was clearly added to the BBC report having first run it past the BBC lawyers
