Captain Tom's daughter

@Ilovetowander
Have you read the actual report? I have and some of the media stories are not particularly accurate and the report does clearly state where the Ingram-Moores' have not benefitted and this is not in the media reporting but my goodness there is a whole lot wrong here.

This thread is hilarious - not only did he single handed galvanise the entire nation apparently (yeah all those key workers were just lazy and uninspiring compared to him walking round his fcking garden) but he's the most wonderful man to have ever lived 😂

What a load of saccharine bullshit

I don't like a lot of this type of charity hypes in general, including the large ones which give to a range of charities as I want to know exactly where my donation is going. That said although at the time I felt that it was hype and over the top my views were similar to what they would have been to other charity hypes , I felt it was more so given the fact it was covid times which meant this was a feel good series seized on by the press. To be honest at the time I had far too many other things to deal with due to in my view a lockdown which should not have happened and which ignored young people.

Now time has passed I haven't read the stores in depth as I feel that perhaps the press has been partiuclarly negative in tearing down the family. I would be interested in reading the books the family to see their side as I am going to reserve my judgment until I have heard the other side.

Just rereading this old April 2020 thread: The hype was very real!

Haha apparently Michael Ball doesn't want to talk about his accommodation with CTM anymore. So much for there being no such thing as bad publicity!

Thought it was a bit off at the time and that awful record with Michael Ball - urgh!!!

But it's what he would have wanted...

Yeah, I think she probably saw it as a chance for a re-run of Wimbledon where she could wave and blow kisses at her adoring public.

This is Major Tom to ground control......

Yeah, looking forward to the ITV dramatisation of this whole sorry shit show

Tbf a stage show of the whole sorry mess is actually a really good idea! It has quite a lot of similar elements of that other flag shagging, scamming grifter (Charles Ingram - they even share a surname!) and that was made into a stage show (The quiz). I doubt that is what Hannah had in mind though…..

Just had an article about this pop up on my feed and this part stuck out to me.

But one of the PRs who worked for Mrs Ingram-Moore told the Mail that while she 'put up a good show' on the This Morning sofa, it became clear that they were both very keen to cash in on 'an opportunity few people ever get'.
The PR said: 'There were little things. They had plans for a stage show. They told me they had enough footage in the can to make a documentary on Netflix. They said that would be their pension. I formed the view that they were very financially obsessed with it.'

A stage show!! No doubt with Hannah taking the appulse during the curtain call.

Soon as was allowed I recall Major Tom going abroad on holiday, resulting in him contacting covid and die. Poetic justice, or major stupidity under the circumstances. Hard to tell if used or in on it, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree maybe.

No no no, Clarkson is an all round good guy. He wants to help, he has discovered a love of the land and Barbours and Nige. His days of ploughing up fields with stupidly big vehicles are all behind him.

They are completely shameless. He was just a cash cow. He died of covid he caught while on an all expenses paid "family" trip in the Caribbean gifted by BA.

Once they'd killed their golden goose, they started milking his legacy.

The worst bit is their complete and utter lack of shame. They are the scum of the earth in my opinion, and archetypal of the entitlement of the upper classes. They just cannot understand that they have to play by the rules.

See also Jeremy Clarkson marching on Westminster now his inheritance tax avoidance scheme has been rumbled.

Eh?

The hot tub incident sealed their fate for me.

I can in all honesty say I never bought into Tom, Paddington, the Royals, Boris and the stupid rules.
Very sorry for people who suffered, very sorry indeed. My mother spent some of her last days in utter isolation.
But a great deal of it was utter nonsense.

We all got abuse and posts deleted. It was rabid even a sniff out of place on here.

I agree there's a lesson to be learned. Don't be so cock sure of yourselves in future maybe.

This is a lesson for us all though. However much we think ourselves as intelligent and self aware, as a population, we are as vulnerable to fall for fraudsters as those older women paying for young foreign men promising their love and devotion

Er, not all of us fell for it! many of us mentioned it seemed off and we got shouted down and told we were being ageist and hateful. I got quite a bit of abuse when I mentioned on here that it seemed suspect

Th fall out as they grasp for more....

The taking of her elderly frail dad to Barbados sealed it for me.

It was so clearly another mean for her to convince what a PR guru she was. It was all about her from the start and with popularity came greediness, to the point of exposing her dad to the high risk of illness and death.

She is and clearly was always totally delusional about her being a loving daughter. Whether he was a nice man or not, she certainly didn't show herself to be a good daughter.

I hoped so badly that she'd finally be exposed one day. She has thankfully.

This is a lesson for us all though. However much we think ourselves as intelligent and self aware, as a population, we are as vulnerable to fall for fraudsters as those older women paying for young foreign men promising their love and devotion.

Let's hope we remember that because they are more of her around and speaks will be if we let ourselves believe anything.

Thats desparate that picrure. Really.

Oops sorry.

Ah, I see! I also thought Russ Abbot died a while ago!
