enfieldspares Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I hope, please, we all bear such in mind come November with these bogus enamelled "Lest We Forget" lapel badges that are nothing to do with the Royal British Legion but seem to be totally commercial enterprises jumping on the occasion to make profit from it.

Trying to profit from her dad's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These (a variety of enamelled badges) are available directly from the British Legion should you want one. Many from elsewhere may well be 'bogus', but there are genuine ones available from their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Sadly the whole Sir Tom thing has been SPOILED by his daughters behaviour, some of it is legal, but most of it is immoral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Sir Tom was a top flight human being whom we all admire. The same thing cannot be said for his hungry for money daughter. I am relieved that he is not alive to witness her greed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udderlyoffroad Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 This whole thing stank of grift from day one; it failed the sniff test, viz. the more the media unquestioningly embraces a narrative, the more suspicious you have to be. Anyone who donated to these so-called 'NHS Charities' is a fool, and thus easily parted from their money. Sadly the charitable sector in this country is total car-crash and lots of due diligence is required before you part with your hard-earned.

She said they had the money and just needed something they could hand out to the staff to say “this is what the money was spent on”. When split across everyone it wasn’t enough to do much. She said she’d rather they’d used it for a project, room or whatever, for the patients etc. A mug that we’ve all got cupboards full of already.

It is around £20 per employee working in the NHS. Looking at it the other way, our local hospital has a 'Friends of ...... Hospital' group which raises around £40K annually and helps provide play facilities, seating, plants/garden area etc, which whilst it might seem trivial, seems to be much appreciated by the patients.

Hello, i thought it gave £50 million , anyway it would go a long way as like the group you mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually quite hard to understand how 'big' the NHS actually is. Budget of £180,000,000,000 spent of a UK population of around 77,000,000 comes to £2,300 per person per year. I think I have the figures right, but I'm not accustomed to dealing in such large sums, though the way the price of cartridges is going ............

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I can quite believe the "MUG" story, I bet there is a hangar or two full of that sort of supposed "good gesture" Capt Tom rallied and raised the spirit of the country which is far more important than the little good that the £40 000 000 actually did. BUT, it has all been rather spoiled by his bloody awful daughters greed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
