  1. I’m not really surprised considering how shameless they’ve been as grifters.

  2. Since when did the default response to something become death threats?

  3. They need to stfu and lawyer up… Public sympathy is NOT on their side.

    Mother, Father and 19 year old Son all should be charged with corruption and have all assets taken and this fraud money paid back.

    It’s sick.

    I hated the story at the time as it stole attention from actual news and actual problems and real victims, not some well off old man out for a 5 min garden stroll and let’s start a foundation and build our own spa after getting close to £1million … Slide on to jail scumbags.

  4. Didn’t know that but that family is disgusting, building a spa in their fucking mansion out of charity money and she paid herself an obscene salary. Dirty, disgraceful dirtbags. The NHS is on it’s fucking knees and they just wanted all the money for themselves. Even the book, they took the money which was meant to go to Charity. Hope they get jailed to be honest.

  5. Alternative headline “Grifters findout that people don’t like grifters”

  6. Message to Captain Tom’s shitty family ….”donate the £800k to charity or just shut the fuck up and go spend your ill gotten gains”….no one gives a fuck about your mealy mouthed attempts to gain sympathy for being callous fucks.You have disgraced his memory and can just fucking wallow in your own self pity.

  7. In this day and age I’m sure they weren’t surprised by this

  8. I don’t want to kill them but I would like my £20 back from them.

  9. > they received death threats and hate mail

    and £800k and a home spa complex. I’d take that deal.

  10. Just posting my favourite quote from an interview the daughter gave in 2022:

    ​

    >**Q: What was the best year of your financial life?**
    >
    >It was 2020. On a personal level, raising that money was lifechanging. It all started on that second weekend of lockdown when we were coming to terms with the fact that the country was closing down.
    >
    >My husband and I sat outside, genuinely worried about our financial future. The entire pipeline for our business over the next 18 months had been wiped clean overnight. We were worried about how we would sustain our workers, my father and the children.
    >
    >It was then that my father, who had been rehabilitating after breaking his hip, started walking again.

  11. It’s wild how they perceive themselves to somehow be the victims in all of this.

  12. I’ve never understood why people donate to charity through people who set up fundraisers.

    This old geezer has walked around a bit and raised awareness for a charity. OK cool I’ll give some money to that charity.

    You wouldn’t think OK I’ll give my money to this middle man who is then going to donate it to charity.

    What’s the point? It’s just a needless step that is often used for tax dodging, money laundering and corruption. Why else would the person raising awareness just not tell you to donate directly?

  13. How could pocketing charity money and defrauding the public have backfired so much??

    His family single-handedly took a rare positive from the pandemic, and turned it into a grift. They even marketed a gin after him. I hope the upcoming movie flops too.

  14. Didn’t it turn out that they pocketed £800,000 from all this?

  15. Can never condone death threats.

    At the same time I think they’d do well to not go to the papers like this over it. All it’s going to achieve is more attention drawn to them, and potentially more death threats.

    Report any credible threats to the police and then keep your head down. The public is not on your side.

  16. If you say it’s for the NHS you never get called out…the veneration of a health SERVICE is a fucking joke now

  17. Evil cunts try for public sympathy. Because that always works.

  18. Wish people wouldn’t send them death threats and hate mail.

    It just loads up the good old “death threats and hate mail” victim card.

  19. Damn, maybe dont exploit your elderly relatives for personal benefit then

  20. No one should get hate mail and death threats, yada, yada, that’s the virtue bit out of the way. So, to my point. Whatever you think of Sir Tom he did what he did, at an advanced age when most of us would have been long since pushing up daisies. It was all facilitated by a masterful PR campaign that raised a lot of money, which was passed to the NHS in large measure. His family were deeply involved in that, so how did those same people screw up so badly after his death? They’ve pissed off the council, the Charity Commission, their neighbours and probably others we haven’t heard about yet. They are either crooked, incompetent or victims of typically British jealousy aided and abetted by shit media.

  21. Oh boo fucking hoo.

    We acted like cunts and now have to face the consequences of our shitty actions.

  22. BBC focusing on the least relevant part of the story as the headline as usual.

    What’s next, Rolf Harris had to read some mean tweets, poor soul?

  23. It’s funny how people think his daughter is satan incarnate, but her father is pure, deified and untouchable.

    Where do you think she learned her values? The whole thing was a con to begin with, masterminded by the pair of them.

  24. Ol’ reliable. Everyone finds out you’re terrible human beings, so claim you get death threats and hate Mail to garner sympathy.

  25. … what did they expect after stealing a million quid lol

  26. I was sickened by the whole fiasco. The country needed a ‘pet’ to divert our attention from the virus shit-storm that was raining down, and his daughter was canny enough to sniff an opportunity. Everyone is guilty of propping up this disgraceful pantomime, from the BBC to the minor players who desperately needed their five minutes. And DARE anyone say a word of dissent at the time and you were the vilest piece of filth on the earth. Emperor’s new clothes anyone?

    Now look?

    I recall an old lady who climbed up and down her stairs to the calculated height of Kilimanjaro and no one gave a flying fuck!
