Captain Tom's daughter and her husband banned fron being charity trustees

[Gymnopedie]

They're still claiming they were misunderstood and this is all a vendetta. But they're not going to appeal the decision for reasons blah blah blah. Because they know they wouldn't win?

Captain Tom Moore's daughter disqualified from being charity trustee (msn.com)

Edit: he died aged 90 ten years ago, not fixed wtf

Probably been your autocorrect had a bit of lag.

Most elderly people during lockdown weren't able to go for endless walks because A. They were housebound in fear of COVID and B. They didn't have acres of land attached to a mansion in order to do so.
His daughter seemed like she was playing the whole thing like a fiddle and acting almost as his physical puppetmaster.
They go on a massive all expenses paid holiday when everyone else is still stuck indoors, then he passes away moments later. It would almost seem like she was trying to seek profit from the country's hardship. And how much of the money raised went to the NHS? She was selling tatty bottles of gin and tea towels and stuff and keeping the profits I'll bet.
Horrible cynical woman. Disturbing really.

I remember during covid,our next door neighbour rang the police as we didn't appear at our doorway,banging our pans and making loads of noise

They came out!

Fucking hell

So the first of his books was sold under false pretences ?
”The prologue of his autobiography reads: 'Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.'”

A grift from start to finish.

I never trusted any of it including Tom Moore himself and I got sick of the deification of him. When I first saw him I thought he was an old veteran in a care home but after hearing him being interviewed and learning more about his set up something felt off to me. Sorry, but there you go.

I don't think Captain Tom himself was a particularly nice man.
He just captured the heart of the nation for some bizarre reason.
I wonder if Michael Ball regrets singing that ditty with him now?
Everything to do with Captain Tom is tainted.

I’m so glad to see someone else have this opinion, I thought it was only me.

That all feels a bit exploitative too.

I didn't realise he caught Covid from Russ Abbott. What were they thinking? Hauling him over to Barbados?

Not doubting your word but can I double check...your neighbours reported you for non attendance at pan banging and the police came out?
Madness.
Like when is a snack a pic nic and of course in a much more serious vein Sarah Everard. Madness.

That's the word I'm looking for! I think Michael Ball even recorded a song with him didn't he?
Vomit inducing stuff!

Yes, his giant garden looked like a care home, I thought

I too thought it was a care home with large grounds.

Yes
She xame round,banging on our front door,demanding to know why we where not standing on our front door 'with the rest of the street' (all 5 out of about 15 of them)
Dp told her to fuck off-we had more important things to worry about,so she started squawking about the NHS
To which he slammed the door in her face (she had a go at us about anything she didn't agree with us about)
I was running around trying to find enough pants and a suitcase,so didn't really take that much notice-I was more bothered about getting to fil before it was too late
20 or so minutes later,(we where just setting off-bags where in the car,i was just slinging my coat on)there was another knock and it was the police-asking why we hadn't been banging away for the nhs
It was like a bad dream-i remember asking if it was a joke and if it was it wasn't funny
It wasn't set in law that we had to-and I told them this
They left,we set off and thankfully got there in time-we got to say goodbye to him
It made the whole thing worse if I'm honest
Poor Sarah was around that time-im ashamed to say the case floated past me at the time-we where like zombies,just trying to cope with losing him and dealing with lockdown
It's a bit later on that it all came out properly in the news-one of their own did it
They could come out to tell us off for not making a racket but couldn't protect a young woman walking home

Not sure about 'Sharon's' story...

@MidnightPatrol I doubt you're alone I just think it's something I keep to myself and cynically question the motives in my head

I can believe Sharon's story, my husband was arrested at that time for something equally unbelievable. I think police were bored and kicking their heels.

The police arrested people for eating sandwiches in a park I think?

'They also made the classic mistake of thinking that Piers Morgan is/was their friend'

I mean we've all been there @Sharontheodopolodous
