    This would not happen in Cuba. 'Charity' isn't needed to support our health services.

    I do miss old Lord Topp and his spectacular wooden-headed stubborn wrongness about everything. He just wouldn't change. There was nothing you could say.

    My early concerns regarding the Cap'n's daughter and her fundraising efforts, along with the universal deification and amplification by the media, demonstrating the ease with which public sentiment can be cynically manipulated, were "not worth a thread" and was just me having a go at the poshies.

    Politics of envy. That's always a good 'un. I do hope he comes back. I've looked after a few people who've had strokes and they do go recovering a bit after time.

    "September 23: A film company announces it is to give Sir Tom the big screen treatment, following a fierce bidding war."

    There has been no further news about the film.

    I wonder if the company who won the "fierce bidding war" will still want to make their film? I wonder if they'll want their money back from whoever it may be who received it? Would it be Jocasta Blatherington-Hogwash by any chance?

    If the money is not returned, might the film makers decide to make a very different film from the one originally planned?

    Captain Tom fooled us all in to thinking he was an affable old duffer who just wanted to raise a few quid for charity when in reality he was the head of one of Britain's biggest criminal empires. It boils my pi55

    And you wonder why folk are reluctant to put their hands in their pockets when charities come round rattling their tins.

    Perhaps Elton could rework his classic.

    "And it seems to me, your daughter had, her grubby Fingers In The Till * ......."

    No surprise at all. She seemed a nasty character as was confirmed by others. Ego mad. Used her father for her own purposes which is a disgusting thing to do and like many in the past had her fingers in the till which shows her real nature not the one portrayed as the doting daughter. These people make fine politicians. Not one shred of integrity. Hope she gets the book thrown at her and her conniving husband, the money is reclaimed and she gets a prison sentence for fraud.

    Maytrix. Oh the originality. Pass me a sick bucket. Expert in growing. Growing what ?

    Seems more likely he was a victim of elder abuse, unfortunately.

    Look everyone! This guy was so deeply deceived by these gangsters that he still can't believe poor old Tom was roaring with laughter at him all the way to the Carribbean.

    Sad!

    Frankly what has come to light since the old dead passed would make a far more interesting film than the soppy indulgence that happened during his last couple of years.

    It was insanity how he was deified for simply being quite old.

    Strip the **** posthumously of his knighthood. It’s quite clear he was the brains of this operation and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

    Absolute lols that they are still claiming the spa will be used ‘partly’ along with the objectives of the charitable trust.

    What an absolute shamefest.

    For just £29.99 you can get a Captain Sir Tom Moore branded forensic accountancy kit and let us know how deep into it he really was.

    I wish I had an ex military elderly relative I could kick in the garden to do a few laps, would be quids in. I'm not stupid enough to flaunt my ill gotten gains either like this dumb fvck.

    Did anyone actually verify he did the laps of his garden?

    What this charity really needs is an HQ on a Caribbean island. Come on everyone, who's going to run the GoFundMe site?

    The video of each circuit looked very similar, with a subtle jump in the video at the end of each circuit.

    It was all done with CGI, created in the film and special effects studio his daughter owns next to the Spa and Gift Shop

    I think it was all signed off by the Captain Tom's Irish Stout Book of Records adjudicators. Absolutely impartial that lot.

    Very glad I didn't blindly jump on the bandwagon at the time, even gladder now. What a shambles.

    Yep, the fact these thieving fvcks didn't immediately hot foot it out to some third world paradise island and live like kings and queens just highlights their utter arrogance and contempt for every single one of you poor saps who donated your hard earned pennies to make you feel better about your miserable lives.

    That or they're thick cvnts.

    We know the man wrapped his own Christmas presents. Why wouldn't he walk his own laps?

    If you play the video backwards, at high speed…well nothing really, it’s just much more amusing.

    Apart from not going through the correct planning process (and presumably they can submit a retrospective application) what have they actually done wrong? Building an office to run their charity from doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
