Captain Toms daughter

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.

Why do people think he was as much of a ‘grifter’?

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.

yep, I won't hear a bad word about Hitler or Pol Pot.

Rob Rinder was absolutely brilliant. Hannah lied and lied and he totally called her out on it with evidence. She said there is "their truth" and the lies in the press. She was in complete denial that she's done anything wrong.

She threw her dad under the bus saying that he wanted the £1.5 million from the book deal to go to the family. She signed the book deal on her dad's behalf after continuously denying signing the book deal until Rob produced the evidence she did.

There is even a page in Captain Tom's book where he is quoted saying the money will all go to charity. It's a complete lie and Hannah said he knew the money was going to family. So Captain Tom was fully aware that his daughter was making a shit load of money and was happy to lie as well.

She would not answer where all the money actually went.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was all planned from the very beginning as it was her idea for Captain Tom to walk around his garden and get sponsorship for it.

Absolutely shameless despicable woman who has completely conned everyone that bought into the Captain Tom sham during COVID.

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

I think the people of Britain lost their minds with all that Captain Tom bullshit. He walked up and down his garden a bit and got millions? What the fuck was going on there? What went wrong with the entire country? Nutters. And all that Paddington Bear nonsense when the Queen died. I bet she'd have hated that. She'd have put a fucking stop to it if she could. She thought she was God's chosen ruler and then gets a load of bears and Holly and Philip getting a national bollocking for skipping the queue on her way out. She'd have been mortified by all that carry-on. I realise the two aren't connected, but honestly, what a load of dopes the British are. I can't relate to my own people at all.

I hadn't seen a copy of the book so I was very surprised to see the foreword on that clip, where Captain Tom claimed he was delighted to write the book and raise more money for charity. As RR pointed out, that gave the impression money from the book was going to charity. She can argue semantics all she likes, herself and her father lied for personal gain. She insists he was perfectly lucid, so he knew what he was doing as well. Love the way RR destroys her with evidence. She thinks if she has an aswer to every question, no matter how ludicrous, it will be believed.

Will we ever have the sense to stop putting human beings on pedestals? It's our own stupid fault when they fall off.

Hey- don't speak ill of the dead.

Why should we not speak truthfully of someone's behaviour after they have died? What about the person or people who were affected by that behaviour, do they not count? Death does not wipe out hurt and harm.

Everything about this woman annoys me so much.

Maybe I'm being too lenient but I just think the whole thing went to their heads and they got greedy. She seems to be oblivious that her dad being famous was only ever going to be a short-lived phase; this idea that there was demand for a 'Captain Tom Experience' tourist attraction years later, and that the whole country was deep in mourning for her dad was insane. All that combined with clearly having no knowledge whatsoever of what is involved in running a charity or charity rules was a recipe for disaster.

And as someone who's dad passed away at a relatively young age, this book on her grief just seems ridiculous. She's a middle aged woman who's dad died when he was 100-odd years old!

The real Tom Moore was a travelling salesman and a businessman for most of his life. Like many of his generation, he had served in World War II and was decommissioned from the army in 1946 at the age of twenty-six.

'Captain Tom' was very much the creation of his daughter.

'Sir Tom Moore' was the construct of an extremely gullible British public.

CTM and Philip Schofield's are dead certs to be seen on every charity shop bookshelf near me in the last couple of years.

why are you telling people not to speak ill of the dead?
Everyone dies; it does not make you immunt o criticism.
The evidence you want is the very public way he went along with the family scam

Just watched that. I love his summing up at the end where he lists her lies.

I have noticed that nearly every charity shop I go into has a couple of Captain Tom books. They must have shifted plenty during all the hype, mostly for Christmas presents and whatever. I wonder how many got read?

Last time I looked, her life coaching business was still up on the internet.

Maybe she should take the 'f' out of life.

Hey- don't speak ill of the dead.

Unless you can back this up with facts, it's not fair.

> I don’t think she’s a criminal,
The Charity Commissioners disagreed

I agree that the BBC and media should have kept out of it. If people wanted to give to the NHS they should have just given to their local hospital. Most of these large one off collections for things end up with some sort of financial mismanagement when people who aren't used to handling money for other people get lots of it.

I think a lot of the anger directed at her is because people feel stupid they fell for it

@tallhotpinkflamingo According to wiki his main war effort involved running a motorbike training program. Not exactly the retuning hero.

I have an awful lot of respect for many of the world war II veterans, my great uncle served in Burma. He never spoke of it for the rest of his life, rarely wore his medals (which are now amongst my prized possessions) and even without having raised millions for Hannah charity, he was ten times the person CTM was.

I never understood the hype with Captain Tom yet the world seemed to be going crazy about him so I figured I was just a heartless bitch 🫢.

I'd love to hear the other daughters side of the story,I really wish someone would interview her.

Rob Rinder was great!,he completelty ripped her a new arsehole this morning.

@Lucelady In publishing, authors don't have to return advances. That's a risk the publishers take. Authors keep that and then receive royalties when more books are sold in excess of the advance payment.
If books sold fall short of the advance payment, the publisher loses out.

The advance is judged by the amount of books/value the publishers expect and is usually no more than a small token payment ( a few hundred £££s sometimes) except in the case of authors who are well-established and where sales are more or less guaranteed.
