I wouldn't let it put me off donating to decent charities. I always look to see how much their CEO'S are paid and decide with that information. No, I don't expect all staff to work for free. Volunteers often behave as though volunteering is a hobby and they are unreliable, so it's neccesary to pay people who need to earn a living. However, there is a limit to what is reasonable.

If you dig deep, you may find that the MAJORITY of charities are staffed by people who won't work for free. They all take their payments and by the end of it, some of them pay just 1 percent of the income they receive to the needy When all this Captain Tom stuff came out in the media, I just thought "this isn't unusual for a charity in modern England". The system is literally built this way

Something that nobody has mentioned, it broke my heart when you said it was when "he had his family around him when he died" personal story but my girlfriends auntie was in the same hospital as the captain, bedford hospital, and he was definitely given special treatment, and multiple families, including myself and girlfriend, and cousins, complained because he was allowed family around him while my auntie wasn't, same with other families, this was during covid and we had restrictions, we complained to the hospital and I was told unofficially by someone that the daughter had threatened to go to the media about mistreatment of the captian, couldn't tell you which daughter as there was 3 of them I believe, but the hospital did let alot go after the fact to make it fair for all the families to see loved ones, after enough complaining. I personally contacted the bbc and the sun, while I know other families contacted different newspapers and news outlets, with nothing being mentioned as they didn't want to publish anything negative to do with the family. It was a horrible time, he was lucky to have family round him, many didn't and she used his status and celebrity to get unfair special treatment, this will never make the news, but on my kids lives, it is what happened
@tomthornton6259
@tomthornton6259 8 месяцев назад
I'm not a fan of the press, but it's maybe worth trying to publish the story now!? While I think very highly of captain Tom, that doesn't mean preferential treatment during that restrictive period, especially in an NHS hospital. Sure at the time the press didn't care, against the narrative, but now the family are very much out of favour, they'll probably bite at it! I understand it probably won't have the same impact for you personally, or families in similar situations now as it would've at the time, but it's better to get the truth out in the end. So sad it's come to all this though. My condolences to you though

The damage this family and Oxfam have done is incalculable given the break in trust with charities as a whole. People give their money in trust and good faith to help others, only to see it being spent to subsidise the comfortable lifestyles of the trustees. As ashamed to say it, this is why I stopped giving to charity unless I bought something at a charity shop. I simply don't trust the system enough to think my money will actually go to the frontline.

THANK YOU!!!! I'm a military historian and I always say that the majority of the first world war veterans died in abject poverty,it was only when a hundred of so were left they got wheeled out by the political parties to show they appreciated their "sacrifice". And now,guess what,as the last of the world war two veterans are dying off ,again those few that have not already died in poverty, the red carpets and politicians were out again. I am 44, my grandfather died when I was 17,he served from 1940 till 1945. Normandy,through France and then germany. He took part in the liberation of Bergen Belsen and his then only child died around that same time back in Scotland. No,he did not get leave on bereavement grounds. He didn't want to join the army,but when called up he went,even became an N.C.O. Then at wars end it was "bugger off,we don't need you now". He and my grandmother still worked in the fields until just a few years before they died to get a little more money. They scarce could pay for a burial plot never mind own a house.

Don't judge, you probably would do it too, it's crazy how people who think themselves righteous suddenly change spirit when it's them, and big money is involved, and when there are justifications that convince you it's ok to dip into the charity, e.g. "I should be paid a salary for running it" etc, especially when it's others who decide what your salary should be, like that 60 grand that was decided for her initial salary. It's TOO EASY to judge.

They had opened up their home looked after their father in their own home for 13 years and by the look of the children they were making a good job of bringing them up. Yes that made some mistakes but do they deserve all this criticism people trying to ruin their lives.

His family cynically used his legacy to start new businesses & benefit their lives, deliberately blurring the commercial & the charitable. He was marketed by his daughter who reaped the rewards. He was a willing participate as he gained attention for walking around his garden, he obviously walked around outside. The honour received just for walking is astonishing. Ironically the last gift which he requested killed him. His family have no shame in exploiting sentimentality of a gullible nation for their own gain.

It was not my Dad. Staff statement "I am going to get into trouble for this". We were then showed to a consultant. All this time we thought my Dad was still alive. The consultant asked if we had ever seen a dead body before. Thats how he told my son and i my Dad was dead. My Dad had to have an autopsy and a year later an inquest. It was awful.

Upper-middle class people who raise money for a private charity are always surprised when people call out the amount of it that goes to then personally. We see it all the time. They always seek to justify the spending. I know a family that run a small charity, a wealthy family before the charity was set up. Donations are used to fund a brand new Range Rover ( based on the need for travel on farm roads sometimes) , a mortgage being paid on a holiday home ( based on they need to stay there sometimes) and a childs university fees ( as this is considered a living expense for which they can't pay because the charity is their " main " source of income). All of this is absolutely legal if you have a good accountant to tick all the correct boxes. It's the entitlement that really gets under peoples skin. If the charity is your calling in life then sell everything you own .

I'm in the UK and had no idea any of this was going on lol (I spent lockdown either at work or on my PS4 lmao, more important things). but it sounds like they took advantage of people's emotions in an emotional time, any big thing that happens you can guarantee someone will try and make a scam out of it and you can guarantee it will work to an extent, at least for a while. I think the media and the government benefitted from this more than the family ever did though, they got a feel-good story in bad times AND a distraction from the fact the government were failing their country all while having their little illegal lockdown parties. Someone else in the comments said this but ffs the NHS is a tax payer-funded public service!! it should not need 100-year-olds walking around their garden for health workers to receive basic equipment. these "feel-good" media stories do nothing but expose a broken system and the only thing they should be making people feel is pure rage. if these cnts did their jobs and funded their services properly there wouldn't be a gap these shady "charities" try to fill by emotionally blackmailing gullible folks into giving them money, and we would have a country that actually functions even in a crisis. This government has completely gutted this country, nothing but bunch of criminals and wannabe fascists. can't wait til they're out, not that the other bunch of wankers are much better. we need actual good change. Piers Morgan is no better either, odious little man. You couldn't be more right at the end there. I wish people would think for themselves rather than eating up whatever slop the media feed to them, and I *don't* mean that in a conspiracy theory way, I mean that in a ~for fck sake please learn critical thinking~ way. My grandma literally did die alone in a run-down care home (not our choice she was transferred there from hospital because they didn't have room), died alone because we weren't allowed to see her. All while the government partied. Christmas 2020, and we were far from the only ones with that experience. What a sick fcking joke, we should riot. Sorry for going off on one in the comments, shit like this makes me turn into my dad. I am right tho

Unfortunately, a lot of people do very well out of charities. I'm a lawyer, and I always advise people making wills NEVER to leave there money to the big national charities. Have a look at their accounts - six figure salaries, and headquarters in the most expensive areas of London, so the trustees won't have far to travel to the Savoy or the Ritz for a slap up meal on expenses. Instead, I advise my clients to give to the small, local charities, often run entirely by volunteers, and for whom a legacy of a few thousand or even a few hundred is a fantastic bonus, and achieves real good instead of just being swallowed up in expenses.
