What a great story to start off a Monday with. Going to be a good week.

She’ll have to abandon her Spar dreams and go shopping at Aldi instead.

Beyond the Tories rampant Tory corruption, it was stories like this that helped break the social contract and we now see it in the behaviour of people today. Hair trigger moods, zero respect, near zero tolerance.
People have largely had enough and accept that you’re a mug if you “play by the rules”.
I’m not even sure this story is any kind of justice. It’s just reporting the company is basically economically dormant.

They just spent it all.. It was such a blatant, obvious, scam at the time.
My personal highlight was the family using the cash to go on a blow out holiday and the poor old bastard was dragged along to present the thinnest veneer of justification.
*and it frikkin’ killed him*

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Rotten family.

What an insane story from start to finish starting with a man doing a few laps of his own garden and getting knighted 😂

Reminder that Captain Tom died of Covid after gifting himself a trip to the Caribbean in the middle of a global pandemic.

Spoke to her on the phone for work, she sounded a cunt

Excellent news! It is a shame that all the other grifters in our country up to much worse aren’t also getting their comeuppance.

I called it from day one. Everyone called me a pessimistic cunt but I was right! I was riiiight!

Must have been a hurricane blowing when the apple fell off of that tree.

Hmm, his old house is still for sale at two mill. Might put in a somewhat lower* offer and see what happens.
*Circa 80% lower but hey, cash is cash.

They paraded a hundred plus year old around his garden to sell this shit

However, I bet she has loads of cash in her personal bank account that she “earned” as a director of her companies, didn’t she pay herself 60 or 80 thousand salary from Tom’s charity.

Is this really such a great outcome? The story says almost half a million in cash just disappeared from the charity since 2022. Seems more like they found a way to extract the money and have got away with it.

One way to spend reserves is to pay directors salaries.

So they’ve basically stolen a ton of money that they fraudulently said was for charity and got away with it with the only downside for them being people think they’re horrible?

How is this a good thing? They clearly have siphoned the money fraudulently out of the charity.

IIRC the Ingram-Moore’s are also related to that grifter Army Major who “won” £1 million on Who Wants to be a Millionaire through coughing fits etc

It was always a bloody scam. Publicity whore that saw an opportunity and millions of simpletons who bought it. If you were taken in, you aided and enabled it. From the start it sickened me.

What a legacy he could have had if his family weren’t such cunts, brings him into question as well. Did Tommy boy know about the scam? Always looked it to me.
audigex on
Right, but where’s the £500k gone?
If they’ve just used it to pay themselves salaries, that’s not exactly something to celebrate
