      This whole fiasco with his family is proof to why we can’t just have wholesome things in life

      I know people like to assume charities and foundations are bastions of hope and light, but please, always follow the money.

      I was thinking about this today , how they’ve basically brought shame on an old man’s name who sounded like a bit of a legend .

      If they’d not been the grifting chancers with an eye for easy money that they are, he would have just been a kindly old feller who raised *some* money for charity. But they ruthlessly milked it for everything they could and profited as much as possible.

      I could almost – *almost* – forgive them for that as there **was** a lot of money raised for charity…but the unforgiveable thing was making a 99 year old bloke travel abroad on some spurious ‘life’s ambition holiday’ in the middle of a fucking global pandemic. Their greed and self obsession killed him and they should never have a peaceful nights sleep ever again.

      Her quote that ‘all money went to the NHS’ and she casually never acknowledges she was paying herself one of the highest charity wages in the country out of that cash.

      They will find a way to burn through his legacy anyway.

      Cars, house improvements, jewellery. From their attitude, once money started rolling in they couldn’t wait for him to just die already.

      I still maintain that Captain Tom was a good person who was horrifically exploited by family, celebrities and the government.

      Charities shouldnt have Trustees or CEOs in the first place

      If the CEO of a charity is making upwards of £100,000 to £5,000,000 its not a charity

      It’s theft

      Just google any charities CEO salary and you’ll be disgusted

      The only charity worth giving to is Salvation army .. their CEO’s make next to nothing for the job they do
