This is not only a prime example of sheer greed but just as bad is the damage it will do to other genuine charities who will have lost the trust of some of their donors . His daughter and her husband are an utter disgrace and for me they have been treated leniently while deserving every bit of criticism they receive.
She wanted £150k as a charity director because that's the going rate for one in the UK. It's why I only give money to small local charities. I don't want my donation going to the salary of some " captain of industry" brought in to run a charity.
Here in Sweden I remember the head of the Red Cross was picking up a huge salary. Why do they need to pay, isn’t there any retired top manager that wants to show some goodwill late in life after building a fortune. Isn’t there a single one that can do that for two years and then pass it on to the next one? Wouldn’t that be nice in the UK too.
They should both be locked up, fleeced the general public out of £1.4 million, money that should have gone to hospitals and hospices instead went to their own pool and spa
Not even the BIg Issue. In my area it's foreign dressed eastern European women, and I know the culture they come from. Who are dropped off outside local shops. I'm not supporting them in this activity...not one penny.
If the books were marketed as in support of the Sir Tom Moore Foundation, but no money went to it, surely that is at least obtaining money by deception? It can’t be right that his daughter is allowed to walk away with £1.5 million.
By removing charitable status the crown can tax the funds as income. By prosecuting for fraud or lesser crimes, the public can seize the funds, yes. Successful prosecution could lead to jail for fraud i suppose but unlikely. That's why the allegations from the report that they have damaged trust in charities is so important.
We have just checked what the CEOs are taking in wages have cancelled ALL charities and instead supporting local voluntary charities Nd local food banks homeless etc All the big charities not only CEOs and advertising. Best to give locally and from the heart
I would have no issue with his family benefitting from the proceeds of his book after his death if it wasn't for the fact that it was marketed as a book that would be raising money for his charity and they've kept all of the proceeds for themselves. Not to even offer a contribution to charity in the face of all this scrutiny shows how brazen they are.
His books had nothing to do wirh his efforts to raise money by walking all those miles. He became a celebrity but was a war hero and had a choice of where the money was going for the books separate from his walking. Don't be so greedy. He was a perfect gentleman don't involve his name and family in a scandal now when he is no longer around to defend him self.
No she's not a typical Brit as you comment, she's a type of brit that fortunately is rare. Greed got the better of her and her husband. They thought they could shaft the donors
I-think sir captain Tom would like his family to take a little money.maybe start looking at how much the other charity bosses are taking in salary up-to £200000 for the major hight street ones and the facts that uptp 97 % doesn’t go to charity
I wonder how many people dismiss us old cynics who saw what this was from the beginning. Not gloating in my cynicism as I have experience from experience on human nature. One of the other things might upset everyone is old Tom was probably involved in this. Afterall the apple doesnt fall too far from the tree. But I might just be being cynical again.
The man raised 40M, I think his family should get something. 1M from a book deal seems fair. Would you not have done the same? Prob not 😂, I’m sure the perpetually enraged would have better morals.
I believe the NHS received £39 million for Capt Tom‘s effort? That’s a tidy Sum and well done, wherever that went is anybody’s guess. The family wrote a book on the efforts of them and Capt Tom, a family history, a family life. Therefore the family has every right to claim the money from the Books. Like Captain Tom, I would want to see my family honoured and protected by mine and their efforts. The book like any book went for sale and people bought the book obviously they wanted to read their story. Their are countless allegations of ministers lining their pockets during the Covid fiasco and that was taxpayers money. 😂

Like the RNLI

This was not a mistake, this was deliberate, wake up people
... you know from inside of course.
I'm fed up with CEOs of charities making incredibly high pay. I won't donate just to pay CEO salary.
Best donate to "The Big Issue". At least you know where it is going.
I agree that they shouldn't receive an 'incredibly high' salary, but the people running charities still need remuneration for their time, don't they?
Disgusting 🤬
No "innocent mistakes" here. What a disgrace and why many don't trust charities.
i was suspicious at the time - the whole thing was pathetic exlpoitation
Agree.....always thought the woman was iffy...she was always there, in every pic etc
They should both be locked up, fleeced the general public out of £1.4 million, money that should have gone to hospitals and hospices instead went to their own pool and spa
Shame on her!
I stopped giving to charities because I don't trust it's getting to the causes. With thousands going to some Chief Execs in salaries.
Just research your charities.

All charitys are a scam
Greedy people.Didnt like any of this from the beginning.
Charity begins at home.
Their home is exactly where the money went
Can they claw back the money? Can they jail them?

It looks like a fraud, duck.
They knew exactly what they were doing. Right from the moment they got their father to reinact the burma death march from his nursing home garden.
it was not a nutsing home it was his/hannah home which tells you they were well off
That's funny
Cap'n Tom was in on it. For sure.
because?
We have just checked what the CEOs are taking in wages have cancelled ALL charities and instead supporting local voluntary charities Nd local food banks homeless etc All the big charities not only CEOs and advertising. Best to give locally and from the heart
have a day off these people have plenty money it is shear greed

What it will mean is such actions in future will have us not trusting such people.
I want my £50 back.
They probably bought a bottle of wine with your £50. Thieves!
Is she related to Michelle Mone??
Captain Tom's legacy has been sadly tarnished by the greedy actions of his daughter.
3 years,3years,why did this take sooo long,pathetic😮
Just like the royal family 😂
Scammers

How Very Sad 😔
Given it’s been 2 hours, and given the postmaster scandal, why would people not wait longer before personally casting unequivocal judgment?

Here is 1.5 Million for you Labour Party!

Captain Tom's daughter, typical Brit who only thinks of themselves and money!!
Thank you for your contributions to our discussion, Ivan.

Captain tom is clearly complicit he should be postumousley court-martialed.
The man raised 40M, I think his family should get something. 1M from a book deal seems fair. Would you not have done the same?
Prob not 😂, I’m sure the perpetually enraged would have better morals.
