Is currently getting her arse handed to her by Judge Rinder on Good Morning Britain...

She is not coming across well.

I can't comment on the children it certainly isn't their fault they were also paraded like trophies.

True but I think they were both well into their teens then and capable of saying no. My mum would certainly have been told to get stuffed if she'd constantly tried to get me to grin for the assembled press at that age. But then she was never left in much doubt what a massive favour I was doing her by being seen in public with her at all 😳.

Unfortunately I can, yes. And the looks of absolute smug as fuck pride on their faces even the kids is 🤢.

Also interesting how this holiday to Barbados, which had apparently always been on Tom's bucket list didn't include taking his other daughter or grandchildren. Only the Smuggy McSmugface crew 🤔.

OrdinaryO888 · 11/03/2025 10:17

Not the Dcs’ fault; they have been led astray, but very unwise to take up the offer of a free trip to Barbados when your dad is 100 years old. Especially in December 2020 when you couldn’t be vaccinated on medical grounds. It was on his bucket list apparently though.

And before it went wrong they did raise £38.9 million which all went to the NHS according to the BBC, so the outcome could have been so much better, but I guess greed got the better of them. A total own goal!

How many war veterans just happen to take their medals on holiday with them to Barbados and just happen to wear them too. Also I would never advocate for violence...but how bloody smug do Hannah and Mr Hannah look!

The CT worshippers on there are the same ones who won't allow discussion on Zelensky/Ukraine minerals/missing £ millions etc. You'd think that people would learn to question what we are being fed.
On the other threads, the elderly Scottish woman, who was the first to start this sort of thing, is talked about. CT getting as big as is did, was careful, clever marketing. Of course he was in on it being a good earner for his family.

Edited

What do you mean by Ukraine and the missing millions? Maybe you are drunk on Trump’s cool aid

@MrsSlocombesCat The very elderly can die from a virus. A cold. Tummy bugs dehydrate and can be very dangerous. Nothing is easy when you are 100. Going on a cruise was probably a disaster for CT. Just unnecessary.

MrsSlocombesCat · 09/03/2025 12:49

Colds and tummy bugs don't kill people.

But they can do. Old people in care homes, or with Alzheimer's for example. A cold might be the thing that finishes them off. This is something that lots of people never seemed to understand. My dad had Alzheimer's, was in a home, caught a cold which turned to pneumonia, and then he died. Fortunately this was just before Covid, so we were able to be with him as he died, unlike so many others just a little while later. It never crossed my mind who the SELFISH KILLER who gave him the cold might be. I just knew Dad was old, and ill and it was his time.

Yes they do. They kill thousands of people every year. Same as covid viruses did prior to 2019.

I'm sure I read that her husband was plain old Colin Ingram and then when the old boy started to gain popularity he added the Moore onto his surname too. That screams grifter to me.

Oh no that's desperate!

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 09/03/2025 16:37

Coffeeishot · 09/03/2025 12:59

That's really a bit of a stretch that poor Hannah is taking the backlash, she's hardly an innocent, although her husband is probably just as bad.

crumblingschools · 09/03/2025 14:29

@Ponoka7 but the facts have to be correct. The money raised for walking round the garden wasn’t a scam. That money did go to NHS Charities. So if people were calling scam right at the beginning, they were wrong. Yes his family were great at marketing, but that money did go to the right place

Ponoka7 · 09/03/2025 14:22

CrazyOldMe · 07/03/2025 17:13

TBF, I remember at the time that several Mumsnetters did call the scam out and were shouted down!

Yeah I think this ... just that the daughter is taking all the backlash , he would of said look after yourselves with that money so he wasn't a poor man used .

Poor man?

He was as big a grifter as the rest of his family.

I was shocked about 10 days into the while whole captain Tom bit that he wasn't local to me as the BBC West were putting him up as number one item on the local news every bloody night. It's only later I thought it strange he was continually in a suit and medals. Someone knew which.buttons to press for the media.

But it's the lie and I say lie given what the publishers said about his book. He and the family said that the money would go to the nhs. And they kept it. There was no reason why, if they were telling the truth, the publishers wouldn't have said yes it was Toms money.

Plus building a spa on your own land, claiming it was offices for a charity is pretty dreadful too.

Her defence (as the BBC have clearly stated) is that the charity commission hasn't passed anything on to the police. Personally I have no faith in the charity commission as it seems that as long as you abide by their accounting rules there is no scrutiny of your actions. Two local to me examples. A large ex orphanage come 19th century borstal near me was sold for development. The charity where the money went is meant to be accessible for youth projects...there's millions sat there still. Another charity seems to support it's organisers in doing exciting/different things like walks up Ben Nevis, long distance walks. One year they raised £30k and spent £28k raising it...there is very very little on the website, socials about the activities the charity is supposed to support...just fund raising.

I know of an East End homeless charity where the money went to soup and bread for the homeless, and a luxury flat and two brand new cars for the people that run it.

Presumably then, every time any of your family pick up a cold or a tummy bug you stay in total isolation until the entire family has been clear of any symptoms for 72 hours! 🙄

Colds and tummy bugs don't kill people.

I can't remember who asked, but it was on Page 1 of the thread - but yes, her house is still for sale:

She is apparently writing her autobiography, so it is in her interests to stay in the public eye, no matter how awkward it might be. Good marketing.

The woman is all about the money.

Let's hope the book isn't purchased.

Oh I read that ",somewhere" ! although it would be her husbands side, not that he is any better.

The Internet says they are not related, I'm positive I read something though.

Coffeeishot · 09/03/2025 09:16

ForQuirkyFawn · 09/03/2025 02:18

Yes she's a wrong un, I read somewhere she is related to the fella who tried to fiddle who's wants to be a millionaire, I don't know why she keeps giving interviews, just go away and count your money.

OrdinaryO888 · 09/03/2025 08:57

I had an idle look around some press stories about this as I had forgotten the details and it appears that the company her husband had worked at was in financial difficulty and he has since resigned. So I think that probably lay at the heart of the issue.

Since then they have lost all the money on the spa building which I recall was about 180k to construct and about 40k to deconstruct and take away.

And they have been defending the case against the Charity Commission which must have cost a tidy sum in lawyer’s fees.
