Hannah Ingram-Moore -Victim or Villain?

NI payments don’t just fund the NHS, they also fund benefits. Do you suggest we privatise them too ?

It's relevant insofar as it's an example of another high profile charity being used as a front to raise money under false pretences and not giving donated money to bonefide causes.

I think it was the 'plucky little soldier ' image that made people want to be part of it to begin with. There's no way anyone could have known how it would take off round the country or the world and once it did people wanted to be part of the phenomenon. I don't think the daughter is clever enough to have planned a campaign on that scale, which is why she's made a pigs ear of subsequent ventures (including the husband's part in it all).

It was credited as written by Vince Prince when I looked it up.

Back to the question - Hannah is a scammer and opportunist.

Look at the writers of this song!!

Someone who wants their 15 minutes of fame .

Brilliant!

Mmmm Who thinks to send a press release about their dads fundraising out ?

I waved between thinking she's a scheming grifter, and thinking along the lines of
@AbsolutelyCreamCrackered - that she's from such a privileged background that she has that arrogance that sees things like the spa, and public appearances as an entitlement and in keeping with her breed.

Either way, she's shat all over their father's memory which is disgraceful.

Personally I didn't donate anything to the original fund, because I make charitable donations by direct debit each month to certain charities. I didn't like the mawkish way Capt Tom was splashed over the tabloids as some sweet little old man who'd served his country and was now saving the NHS... having said that though, I think his intentions were probably entirely genuine; he wanted to do something to help and then the whole thing snowballed and he became a national hero. I'd rather donate to charity regularly without all the fuss and drama, but nothing against Capt Tom himself, I suspect he was an innocent in all this.

Hannah I-M though is despicable whichever way you look at it.

The only other famous Russ I can think of is Russell Harty?

Probably not but there is a picture of him with Russ Abbot and cliff Richard in Barbados .

I would be very pleased if every penny that I donated went on tea and Mars Bars for nursing staff. They are amazing people who work hard doing often grotty and upsetting tasks under intense pressure.

But this woman and her actions sicken me. I remember a whiff of it whilst Captain Sir Tom was still alive, when it came out that his daughter's company was being paid £85k out of the donations for her "consultancy work". And now this.

It's cynical and deeply unpleasant. And pssng all over her late father's efforts and legacy. They were already a wealthy family, but to abuse the donations made in this way, along with the profits from the book and single released, is appalling. The image and efforts of Captain Sir Tom were one of the few bright points in the deep and unremitting well of despair and misery of the pandemic and lockdowns and now that will be forever tarnished and dubious because of callous money-grubbing by his daughter. In every way horrible.

Did Russ Abbot really kill Captain Tom. 😱

Oh God we are going to be Russrolling from now on. I can just see it.

Taking the old boy on a long haul holiday during a pandemic where he caught COVID off Russ Abbott and ended up in GRAVE.

I have no clue if this woman is guilty of anything.

However cpt Tom was over a hundred years old. With the best will in the world, he was never going to live much longer. If it wasnt covid, it would have been flu or something. At least he got a holiday.

I doubt OP donated a penny. She’d begrudge her nose droppings.

Never again will I give to a 'charity'. Charities are for fools.

People who say this @Moneynewpence would never have donated money/time in any meaningful way anyway. It's just a convenient hook on which they can justify themselves - they're all grabby scammers, innit?

Hannah Ingram-Moore is absolutely a grifting horrible woman who should be in jail. That is without question. She is despicable. The performance at Wimbledon just showed what an utter arsehole she is. She is scum.

I couldn’t bear the mawkishness surrounding Captain Tom, and by the end, couldn’t stand the sight of the bastard. The foundation set up in his name needs closing down because that is genuinely shady with no real charitable purpose.

HOWEVER all that said, the fact that hard of thinking posters don’t understand the function of NHS charities is a separate issue. It is utterly unsurprising that scum like Hannah Ingram-Moore are able to take advantage of these situations when people just froth with excitement at the thought of an old man pottering around his own garden with his war medals on and they mindlessly hand over cash because the daily mail tells them to. Get a fucking grip, and this sort of shit will have much less opportunity to happen.

I'm a nurse and was redeployed into the hospitals during the pandemic. I don't really get the begrudging nurses cups of tea and food. There were some meals provided by charity (and lots of chocolate and cake) but when it comes to feeding ourselves we were the lucky ones who continued to have regular, solid employment. We were more than able to bring our lunch in as usual.

What a stupid overreaction. If your new car breaks down do you say "well, that's it, I'll never run a car again"? Thought not.

There are many well run charities that do good work and whose affairs are transparent.

Sounds to me like a convenient excuse to be selfish with your money which you can pretended is 'experience'

Her and her husband are chancers, always on the make and in the process have sullied her Fathers memory and good deeds. Shame on her

Can't upload the pilchard one. Omg

Op you have no idea what you are talking about on so many levels it’s embarrassing:

1. you didn’t bother to research what NHS charities do and now seem surprised at its objective - that’s on you
2. you seem to be confusing what Tom did for the NHS charities (legit) and what has happened afterwards
3. you are ridiculous in begrudging nhs staff of food and basic comforts. Are they robots? Will you be expecting them to not have water and toilets next? Nhs staff are the foundation of the nhs
4. covid is deadlier than flu when unvaccinated. It’s also more infections. These are facts. Nhs staff were in crisis mode - you clearly are not in the nhs so have no idea and continue to spout absolute ignorant, stupid nonsense

I think they should maybe have been a little more savvy about the stories they allowed to be uploaded
