I bet everyone who donated are raging at this shitshow and quite rightly so.
To the shock of no one who saw right through this family from the beginning.
Wanted to pay the daughter a salary in the same region as the head of the RSPCA, tried to deny the allegations when approached by the Independent.
Hope we never hear from this family again. Well, unless its to do with charges being brought against them.
We’ve all been in a pub when some sketchy looking people come round with a plastic bucket collecting donations for little Timmy to get new crutches. You know it’s a fiddle but you put a few coppers in the bucket anyway because you feel obliged (even threatened) to. Captain Tom was like that but with the support of the national media.
The sad thing is it isn’t even surprising.
If something is “nice”, high profile (in regards to the media running with it and it causing a stir), and/or charitable someone somewhere *is* skimming money from it.
Look, if you don’t pay big salaries then you simply can’t get the best yourself for the job.
Why did the British people get such a fucking boner for an old man walking around a garden? Why did he get Knighted, statues created in his likeness and endless media coverage for such a minor feat?
Yes he had good intentions and yes it’s respectable that he wanted to raise some money but so did thousands of other people during lockdown. There was old people running marathons for fuck sake. I just don’t understand it.
He’s been hailed as a hero for walking around a fucking garden. It’s insanity. He worked as a salesman for most of his life as well so why were people acting like he’s spent all his days fighting for the country?
Again, no disrespect to the man himself but I’m sick of the UK and it’s weird fetish for sob stories. If he was still alive this year I bet he’d have been wheeled on to Britains Got Talent with Leona Lewis playing in the background as Amanda Holden squeezes out a tear listening to his 3 years in the war and the audience go mental clapping for him.
His daughter is a leech and exploited his name for endless media attention, incentives and marketing/sponsorship opportunities including a nice free trip to Barbados and a bunch of books and whiskeys in his name. Oh and the number 1 single with Michael Ball? Horrible.
Get his daughter to fuck. It’s time people were called out and held accountability for their shitty behaviour.
PS – Just remembered they even pushed his Grandson on Celebs Go Dating. Get every one of his family to fuck.
EDIT – I appreciate all the awards but I’m a complete noob with Reddit and got no idea what these awards even are! Please don’t spend any money (if they cost) on me as I genuinely have no idea what they mean or do. Thank you though!
Only 2 days ago the family called those criticising the charity ‘vile trolls’.
The biggest issue for me is when they were collecting money “for the NHS” where did this money actually go? The NHS get the total sum he raised almost every day from the taxpayer. What did this money achieve?
I’d also like to mention, if you were to even question the integrity of this whole thing at the time you’d probably be called evil, or a pusher of misinformation or some shit.
Given how weird and obsessive his son was about it all I find this totally unsurprising
I ignored it all at the time and I’m glad to say I did. Dystopia porn. Now it’s just Dystopia.
It helped deflect from the Tory Government’s chaotic mishandling of the pandemic during its first wave, so it served its purpose.
The old man had good intentions when it was just him walking around his garden.
As soon as ~~Worm-tongue~~ the Daughter started showing up EVERYWHERE it turned into something else. Just donate to the NHS or Charities directly, we don’t need a Middle-Family to pass the money on for us.
I doubt he even walked 10 lengths of his garden everyday, fucking ghouls.
I don’t want to be an edgelord but I didn’t like him at the time, no disrespect to the chap I just didn’t care about having an old man walking rammed down my throat in the middle of a pandemic
Never forget being in my local Morrison’s and hearing what sounded like a drunken commotion, it was in fact Michael Ball and Captain Tom playing over the speakers. I honestly thought a drunk was shouting.
‘Captain Sir Tom united the nation and gave us hope when it was needed most.’ – he walked around his bloody garden and his daughter wanted a statue
It’s rhymes with Wanda Sykes’ amazing clap-back when Kevin spacey tried to come out as gay right in the midst of all the revelations about him being an abuser “no you don’t get to hide under the rainbow!”.
We really need a similarly snappy thing where absolute shitlords and grifters don’t get to pretend like they are immune from criticism because they let a few breadcrumbs fall on a charity.
Here here!
Same with Diana’s funeral, all very sad, all very sad when anyone dies, everyone went into meltdown when it happened;
People’s princess?
Not mine I’m afraid
I got called all sorts when I said this was all a fucking scam. Idiots, the lot of you who fall for this shit.
Everything about captain Tom makes me physically ill. Except the man himself.
Most UK charities are a fucking scam as is.
Hey, we are a homeless charity, we try and raise money to get people off of the streets, you give us money and…our office is in central London! We don’t pay 50% of our staff, but our board of advisors make £50-150k a year and fly business or first class in a “part time” role!
We have a party each year to celebrate your kind donations and our employees free work, this will be at a London hotel with paid for celebrities to present awards and be on the daily mail side bar of shit!
I ran a few marathons for a very worthwhile charity years ago, I chose them specifically because when I applied for a few, theirs said that they won’t give you anything like hotels, free food or anything like that, that the staff they have working the race event team are local unpaid volunteers they find for the day only, not from the other side of the country and put up there in hotel. Their office was in an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere because that was cheaper and close to suppliers for the wheelchairs they linked to people who needed them, they basically said “we are thankful, we will use every single penny of your donation for what it was used for as best as possible” and I was into that. No frills.
My mate is Portuguese and he actively refuses to give a penny to any charity. He does, however, give at least 4 weekends of work away a year for charities who build housing or renovating people in needs kitchens (usually with resources from his kitchen fitting business). That’s how it should be.
I remember pissing my parents off for not wanting to do that clap for the NHS thing after like the 6th week, I had a shit day, didn’t sleep great, had to process 400 invoices on an apprenticeship and didn’t feel like standing outside and clapping for 10 minutes and they kept shouting at me to come downstairs and clap. Seems ridiculous almost 2 years later
Her husband is Colin Ingram, the brother of the dodgy, coughing, Charles Ingram, from Who wants to be a millionaire.

Every time she says something it reminds me of Only Fools and Horses when Del uses ‘[Mum said to me, on her deathbed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agw8ctjdeA0)…’
