Very sad

Sheer greed, lack of morals and blatant dishonesty. They’ve tainted the memory of Captain Tom who will now be associated with his family’s corruption. She was in PR so got lots of publicity and freebies. The Foundation was just a vehicle to line their pockets.

Allsorts I thought it was very telling that the other daughter kept out of the limelight.

From the start I didn’t take to Hannah Ingram-Moore, there was just something about the whole thing that smacked of self interest and exploitation (I think Capt. Tom was quite aware of the whole situation) and unfortunately many of the public were swept up in the whole thing.
Her appearances at events like Wimbledon made me feel sick, from the beginning it was all about her.
I’m glad everything is coming to light.

I agree with BlueBelle too. It all seemed very OTT. And the daughter even wheeled out the children/grandchildren to add to the story. That wasn't right.

I thought the whole thing was orchestrated from the start.
I'm not even so sure about him.

I have read up on this since it was posted. What a greedy, manipulative daughter, who used her very old father for money she turns out to be. She and her husband have profited from a National Disaster and besmirched Tom Moores name. Truly hope the couple lose their home and pay everything back to charity, they deserve to be made an example of. Wheres the other daughter in all this?

I totally agree bluebelle.

I never got with the whole thing I thought he was a game old boy but I felt it was all choreographed from the start and I didn’t join in the adulation However that’s not to do with him but the stuff going on around him I felt he was a pawn in a bigger story right from day one Sometimes you just get feelings

All the money raised by him for NHS was passed on correctly. It was the royalties from his book that seems to be the problem.

I don’t think so. What is being suggested, I think, is that the daughter is misusing the funds raised for charity on herself and family.
Curiously, when it was all happening during COVID, I had a bad feeling about the publicity and all that, that the daughter was plugging. My gut seems to be right.

The Charity Commission has now found that the charity in Tom Moore's name was mismanaged and was subject to misconduct, with his daughter and her husband personally benefitting from the operation.

So does that mean that Sir Tom obtained his knighthood under false pretences?

What a sordid mess the whole thing is.
