Captain Tom Dies

[BIGRON]

Generally , cos Admin won't allow it on here

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Still keen to know what could be so bad that has warranted this.

[Max B Gold]

Its the public that came up with the money. Its not really heroic to hobble around your garden, but credit to him for the idea.

Maybe not. But it is heroic to fight for your country in a world war. Without people like him, you wouldn't be here to make crass comments like that.

I for one will morn him as a hero.

The bloke spent the war getting a sun tan in Burma. Hardly landed at Dunkirk

Watching a documentary on Sony Action Movies about the war in Burma and the part the14th Army and Chinese Army played. It looks tougher than Dunkirk.

Terrible, terrible war, incompetent leadership and having to listen to Vera Lynn live is enough to demoralise any soldier.

And tougher than Dunkirk according to you. Disgracful.

Still leading the way for the great British people:

Would have thought it was a citizen of Wuhan myself

[i8ubutler]

My Dad was in the 14th Army in Burma.

[LeighO]

My old man was a Desert Rat, khaki shorts and a khaki hat.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Still leading the way for the great British people:

Oh ffs. What impact did the dead old fanny actually have in 2021?

He taught the world that when the chips are down, when everything seems lost, you just keep on walking.

[Long slender neck]

He'll be in the running for 2022 as well

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

He'll be in the running for 2022 as well

More of a slow walk

[Dunners]

This is a surprise. Given the media storm around Captain Tom, I'm sure we can expect lots of coverage of this emerging story soon. Right?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Charities spend loads on overheads and consultancies.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

What a shock.

His daughter seemed such a decent type.

[Dunners]

Charities spend loads on overheads and consultancies.

Indeed they do. And not only are these consultants receiving more of old Tom's cash than actual charities, the firm that has really benefited just so happens to be the daughter's.

What's the point of having a cash cow charity if you can't milk it?

They're all the same. The whole industry is a scam.

[StillSpike]

Disgusting. I'm quite sure he wasn't in on the scam himself as he dragged himself around the garden, so they've taken advantage of a dotty old bloke - her OWN FATHER - to boot.

The tin shaking mobs are the worst and in a lot of instances they are hired help on an hourly/daily rate. The % of this that makes a difference to the chartable cause can be pitiful.

[Stowaway]

The funny thing is that she’s said on record that the walking around the garden thing was her idea. She and her husband run a PR company which was about to go to poo poo when the pandemic hit. So they came up with the idea and have milked it ever since.

And at the height of it all they took him off on a Sun-sponsored freebie to the Caribbean, with daughter and SiL in tow of course, he contracted pneumonia on the flight home, got Covid in hospital and died. Greedy f*cking parasite.

Heh - if she's so good at PR, how come everyone thinks she's a fanny? If this is the sort of scheme she's capable of coming up with, it's no wonder their firm was going tits up.

(and, of course, it goes without saying that fanny wasn't the word I used)

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Everyone thought she was lovely until 2 days ago.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Couldn’t she have just asked for a PPE contract from Hancock instead of having to resort to all this unseemly thieving?
