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

She is not coming across well.

Never been a Judge Rinder fan, and don't watch GMB often so didn't even know he was on it now. Just watched this part on catchup and OMG he was good!

She couldn't defend, explain or tell the truth about a single one of his direct and clearly worded questions. Even trying to pass the blame onto her dad by saying she never signed the deal (when she had). Horrible woman. Why she thinks anyone would want to buy that book is a mystery.

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

Surrounded by horrible new build estates as well, where there once would have been green fields.

Yes. He was odious. His comments about his sex life with his first wife were beyond the pale and showed very clearly who and what he was.

the Capt Tom thing took off because there wasn't much else happening during Covid in terms of feel-good stories, and because the beneficiary was the saintly NHS charities (not the NHS, but the charities who don't do healthcare, they provide tea bags and nice seats and that sort of thing). And because he - Capt Tom - was very old and an ex-serviceman and kinda sweet.

Capt Tom wouldn't get that sort of financial support from the public today.

I dont know enough about him to know if he was 'odious' or not, but yes, if Hannah is telling the truth and he wanted the money tpo go to her, he was probably in on the whole grift. Also, so was her husband. he wasnt a meek little innocent, he was well aware of what was going on, and was also implicated, but stupidly, Hannah has decided she is also the public face of their 'redemption' which is not likely to happen.

I've just read an article online that mentions the ill fated spa. I'd forgotten about that, which apparently was CTM's last wish on his death bed. But considering his last wish was also for Hannah to pocket the profits from the book I'm beginning to think, to misquote Rodney from OFAH, Tom "didn't half have a lot to say on his deathbed".

He was quite "chatty" considering he was critical all this last wishes for his daughters well being what a gem 🙄

You're right, they will. They're the same posters who clapped liked demented seals for months on end.

It's terrifying actually, how easily led so many adults are and how happy they are to be swept along into nonsense. Also, how aggressive they are with anybody who won't follow. I think this is why cults must be so successful, pure brainwashing.

It's like Brexit. I know acquaintances who voted to leave. 100% they did. They were crowing about it the next day
Now they say they voted to Remain! Like fuck you did 😅

A minor point - which I've raised before!

An army officer below the rank of major cannot continue to use their title in civilian life. Military etiquette and regulations make it very clear that "Captain Tom" should never be referred to as "Captain" anything because a captain is a junior officer!

All part of the branding campaign I suppose.

Good point. I distinctly remember threads on here at the time where several mumsnetters would jump down anyone’s throat that dared to write his name without the Captain prefix.

A bit like the vilification of anyone who didn’t go out and clap for the NHS. It was all bonkers.

I had to turn over as it was uncomfortable viewing but also she is a total charlatan so glad she got the roasting. She has to live with tarnished reputation forever so that's her commence. I have to say I didn't get the whole captain Tom thing but that's a different story.

the Capt Tom thing took off because there wasn't much else happening during Covid in terms of feel-good stories, and because the beneficiary was the saintly NHS charities (not the NHS, but the charities who don't do healthcare, they provide tea bags and nice seats and that sort of thing).

I remember posting on here in a mildly critical way about the incessant coverage of Tom and daughter when it was all going on. I said perhaps BBC could do some other stories of people who were doing so much for the NHS, not just him.
I got my arse handed to me on a plate for daring to question CaptTom!
I bet those posters feel stupid now. Probably not, they'll just rewrite what they said

They will be the ones calling for this woman to be hung drawn and quartered for making money from Covid (like so many others)

I mean fair play to you for disengaging with the news,it's a decision I made myself during covid but even I couldn't avoid seeing him

I felt so sorry for him when they dragged him on a plane to Barbados or somewhere on a freebie. And I’m pretty sure it was mid Covid time too. You just wouldn’t.

December 2020, utterly absurd decision to go (I think BA gifted it to them?).

And sadly he passed away in February 2021, only 6 weeks after he returned.

No comparison. The evidence of those people is clear.

I'm asking for evidence that Cpt Tom was complicit (not just his daughter and SIL) and the poster can't seem to find any.

Mightymoog · 07/03/2025 12:14

ThatOtherAustenSister · 07/03/2025 12:13

It's a saying- because they can't reply.

Unless you can post evidence of the 'scam' where he was complicit, you aren't actually saying anything.
