Sir Tom Moore Dies

This will sound nasty, but if the media didn't give him so much coverage he wouldn't have raised a fraction of what he did. It was a feel good story at the right time and gave a lot of people positivity. Others have done far more, but don't get the coverage or the credit. People just jumped on the media bandwagon.

It's crazy taking a 100 year old of a journey like that at any time. Doing it at the height of a pandemic is plain stupid.

He went on the 11th December and the vaccinations started on the 9th. This was a gift from British Airways and the family are already wealthy. Why not wait for the vaccination? I'm sure he'd get priority if he asked.

They are trying hard to distance the trip to his death, especially the CV19 part. He at least got ill due to the trip, which then meant he couldn't get the CV19 vaccination. It's this trip that has caused his death.

Since he was ill and housebound, how did he contact CV19? Have they delayed the CV19 results as they knew the reaction that it would cause?

 

You might maintain it, but you'd still be wrong.

Large parts of the country were in tier 4 in the middle of November onwards. Everyone was fully aware of what was coming.

 

rip did more positives got the nhs in the last 10 month's than the tories have done in the last 10 year

 

No they can't otherwise i would have visited my mother last year before she died in April last year.

 

Fair play to him for the amount of money raised for the NHS.
Don't agree with him going on holiday though, bit of a mad decision and one that's lead to his death.

However, the media coverage over this is nauseating today. News reader sitting bubbling too ffs

 

Think its changed a wee bit now mate, had a family bereavement this week and the immediate family got in to see her just before she passed.

 

Aw man, sorry to hear about that x

 

Typical

 

My old dears been visiting my da every Wednesday for a couple of hour's but usually ends up being allowed to stay in his room for 4/5 hour's every week. Only once a week though..

Some innings for this guy by the way..

 

RIP. Unbelievable how much money he raised for the NHS

 

RIP

The hypocrisy in coverage of our Dubai trip (which I think was reprehensible) and his Barbados jolly is funny to see.

No laws were broken with either but morality was only brought up in our case.

 

He had a good eye for a female...
Wonder how many time he jacked off thinking of Amanda Holden ?

 

British Airways managing nicely to avoid any PR fallout from the mans death.

One of many people who hijacked the guys efforts, for their own benefits.

 

Get them in the dock. Manslaughter

 

Boris wants a clap for him.

He did more for the country than that useless * has done and he wants a clap? Sheesh.

 

* are wanting statues put up.

And I hope everyone will be outside at 6pm tonight for the applause.

 

You are an awful, awful human being.

 

RIP

Cant say it’s tragic or unexpected given his age, but sad nonetheless.

Have no issue with the Barbados trip tbh. It’s legal and I would rather spend my final days enjoying life in the sun than have a bit more time stuck at home in the UK, personally.

The clap thing is daft though. Stuff like that is best done when it’s organic rather than instigated by a incompetent leader who’s a bit of a laughing stock to most of the country.
