[@trevorclarey3336]

Come on people, her husband is a charted accountant they know what they were doing.💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@yorewhyworry7217]

I have no issues with the family keeping some of the money. Everybody gotta eat.

[@antoniajane5442]

I do! They had plenty of money to start with and it was a business option that allowed them to make off his name.

[@trevorg2128]

Fillet steak, caviar and champagne they got to eat

[@chrysalis4126]

Did you see the size of the house they own? Hardly living on the breadline were they?

[@iangascoigne8231]

They’re not skint, that’s why they’re getting stick.

[@philip-yp9rr]

gotta eat ? theiving vile people their buisnesses were failing so get the poor old man out to do a walk the rest is history

[@antoniajane5442]

Agree - family should not be involved in a charity, where they can benefit financially.

[@antoniajane5442]

I am very pleased I did not buy a book.

[@TheVikingasassin]

Show bit respect he's a war veterans wasn't for people like him we would been Nazis

[@lesleywallace5748]

Disgrace, this should be wound up for with, daughter should never have been allowed near the money in the first place.

[@ClickChase]

Bloody greedy people. A full investigation needs to be done.

[@rosemarymelling6030]

It would have been better to give £16000 to the charity and kept £2000. But personally I would have given the whole to charity.

[@Ramblingpete]

Definitely all of it all it wasn’t theres to keep just saying people were not giving to them who didn’t need it

[@jujutrini8412]

I don’t feel sorry for them.

[@antoniajane5442]

I read that before the walk he was living in a home - and suddenly he was living with them after they could see the ££££

[@trevorg2128]

A lot of people work for charities for nothing .

[@marianne9798]

Thieves

[@GerryPowell-r6s]

Scam.

[@georgeryan3310]

The young woman who wasn't in the studio was absolutely spot on ,the hype surrounding an old man doing something that was an actual benefit to his health was mind boggling and i would really like to know who first tipped off the media about him.

[@MrDavey2010]

I bet the media was tipped off by Capt Tom’s daughter

[@porkscratchings5428]

@@MrDavey2010Yes it was, she reached out to all channels for exposure as it was originally for £1k but it spiralled out of control and she and hubby, jumped on the bandwagon and knew exactly what they were up to due to greed, all greed and making money for their no income business during the pandemic which also was a big con!

[@DavidRichards-z2k]

I believe that this will turn out to be a bit of an own goal for the family. Myself like many others knew a little of what was going regarding this story of creaming off the funds etc however after tonight many many more will learn a lot more & from the little section you’ve shown it doesn’t look good & I think the fallout for the family & the charity is going to be massive! With a little twist on the Mark Twain quote.. Better to remain silent and be thought a CROOK than to speak and remove All Doubt!

[@lesmarsden2058]

‘The family felt really bad about it…..’ So bad that they hung on to all the money that they took and then had the nerve to build a spa, without planning permission, and falsely claiming it was for a charitable purpose - LIARS!! Tom would be turning in his grave with shame if he knew what they had done.

[@geebutteree4755]

From the beginning something didn’t seem right with his daughter, totally over exploiting her father, always trust your instincts

[@Mike_5]

Sadly Hannah's husband has many chins but none of them tell the truth

[@alanfrost4661]

Yes greedy family should be in jail

[@robertnorman4306]

Blinded my the money 💰 🤑

[@katebuckfield7736]

I believe it was a scam from day One.

[@iangascoigne8231]

The person who helped Captain Tom raise the money was Michael Ball. He interviewed Captain Tom on his radio show and after that the money being donated skyrocketed.

[@MrDavey2010]

It helped Michael Ball too - reflected glory!

[@iangascoigne8231]

@@MrDavey2010 How? Ball is a big enough star not to need reflected glory.

[@MrDavey2010]

@@iangascoigne8231 That’s a bit naive if I may say so. Ball hitched himself to this cause for self-publicity. Any publicity is good publicity for entertainers.

[@iangascoigne8231]

@@MrDavey2010 If I may say so, it’s not naive at all. Ball doesn’t need any publicity.

[@NMS247]

Disgraceful greed and the are bare faced liars. Poor Captain Tom would be heartbroken and so ashamed.

[@ChrisEvans-sy5me]

Done charities a lot of harm I’ll never donate to any of them again

[@anthonyparkin-yg9pf]

These people are disgusting absolutely vile as a veteran myself I am so proud of what capt Tom did and long may his legacy thrive But his remaining family have done their upmost to tarnish his reputation nothing short of moral thieves and so two faced I have no sympathy for the hatred and comments that come their way and the lies and deceit bring down the pool room which they lied about...

[@samueljweston]

I’m not sure this debate understands the legal and charitable implications of what has been done here.

[@Ramblingpete]

He should have wrote the books and done no walking then it would have been ok but 5he books would have never sold no one new who he was full stop

[@dares16]

Human beings are dangerous period, including those providing cynical opinions to tarnish and destroy reputations. how things have changed very quickly and you know that Piers Morgan is always going to be at the centre of it all, milking it for all its worth.

They where his books but its our money totally wrong greedy lot that family

He was just an old man before covid that now one even new but RIP Tom

[@Boo-pv4hn]

I’m sorry but unless you’re doing it and there is a proviso that it’s going to a charity, they have the right to keep it, they have an excessive amount to the nhs! You can’t expect someone to run charities and not earn a living? What about all the charities that spend millions of our money on people to advertise there charity ( often sit around chatting and on there phone) and millions on an excess of managers! That’s our money?! But no one is up in arms about that. Now if the book alludes it’s going to charity then legally yes they are doing something wrong as it’s false advertising and misleading and family often are better to be involved in the charities then bigwigs, because that often makes the difference on money going to the causes and money wastage.

[@BrianRhind-d2c]

captain tom legacy not so but what they did that was outrageous and shameless captain tom did this for nhs

[@philip-yp9rr]

dont feel sorry for that woman she knew what she was doing shamefull scammers

[@anastasiatempest761]

Never trust an accountant.♥️🌻🙏👨🏽‍🦽

[@hannahtattoo]

I don't believe there's a charity out there, that doesn't have a highly paid boss that takes more money that they need. I won't give money to charity organisations because it goes on wages and advertising rather than the people who need to benefit from it.

[@barbaraperry6201]

I get your point, I do - the money is meant for the service-users. Hundreds of volunteers give their valuable free time and humanity in delivering the charitable services. But they are not contracted and so can leave whenever they like, overnight if they need to. You need contracted staff to maintain the ‘employment’, standards, ethics and delivery of services. Also the staff are rarely on permanent contracts, unlike other commercial and public service contracts. They are often one year/three years and have to constantly seek funding to keep the staff and utility bills. It’s exhausting managing a charity.

[@emperorpalpatine783]

Who is the older gentleman?

[@alanwood4968]

And let those public figures take over and get paid big sums to run it, NO THANK YOU If the family do make mistakes then so be it its not going to lord and lady or some well off legal scoundrel.

[@Ramblingpete]

That treated it as a business that makes you money sorry them money tit bits for the charity if lucky tit bits
