My goodness me, what a lot of finger-wagging "told you so", "never liked him", "something dodgy about him" lot!
His family has done the wrong thing and ruined the memory of what Captain Tom was trying to do with the best of intentions. However, he died in February 2021 and doubtless knew nothing about any of this.
Gransnetters thought he was an inspiration at the time.

How things change.
Yes, things do change, but for good reason in this case. People can only go on what they see and know. What Sir Tom was doing was interesting, but I think the media got carried away and stirred us all up to a frenzy. We all admired him.
That said, if circumstances change, then feelings change and this is what happened here. His daughter has ruined her father’s reputation and shown herself to be a selfish money-grabbing apology for a daughter and she should be ashamed. This is why there ha# been this change in attitude towards this.
I take your points, Crossstitchfan, but instead of commenting on what has happened, what his family has done since then, the thread is full of spiteful little comments about the man himself which no-one was making at the time.
Strange.
Sorry, I didn’t register the criticism of Sir Tom. I thought the criticism was all directed at the poisoned dwarf (Hannah)
