Sir Tom Moore - the Enquiry finds his Daughter DAMAGED the Public's Trust.

[TIGHTCHOKE]

The long awaited enquiry in to the goings on behind the marvellous Captain Sir Tom Moore's charity fundraising has been published.

It is unsurprising in its findings.

I hope his daughter and her family are rightfully ashamed, THEY spoilt his GOOD NAME.

Hello, Absolute Disgrace , I doubt they will worry on Captain Toms nice little earner going into their bank, 

[Gordon R]

I note that they were very careful in the wording of their response. It appears to be a truthful statement which completely avoids addressing the main issue.

“Misconduct and Mismanagement” is the phraseology of the report. It is silent on whether any laws have been broken. Only time will tell, although the Charity Commission seem to be considering action to recover some of the monies paid to Sir Tom’s daughter and son-in-law.

It SMELT FISHY once it all took off, I guess the family felt they were owed something?

Once they started to build spa's and look at justifying them by "offering" them to the greater public it was GOING DOWNHILL RAPIDLY................

Hello, They are claiming the proceeds from the Books were not part of Toms Charity ??

And without the CHARITY that was set up the books would have been either NOT WRITTEN or would have DISAPPEARED WITHOUT TRACE.

 

The Family and that awful daughter of the GREAT MAN have a LOT to answer for.

[Lloyd90]

100%, I was skeptical of many “charities” but definitely has made it worse.

The old saying, where's there's money there's a fiddle.

[old man]

The peelers need to poke about in here?

Why bring him into disrepute in any way?

Shows the complete differences of two generations,The elder with a pride and generosity, the other with a total lack of respect and an entitlement  beyond belief. Greedy  when your bellys are full. From Auntie.

Spot on.

[TIGHTCHOKE]

I do wonder quite how they thought they would get away with it?

Brass neck it used to be called, I think they have twice been asked to make some form of remuneration, not very forthcoming so far.

I think she is something of a "social climber" and must have seen the opportunity to "raise her profile" by using her fathers "fame".

The one I feel sorry for is the grandson who seemed genuine.

Maybe they have got away with it at least financially which was their main aim? Obviously nothing else counted in their scheme?

From Day the son in law appeared extremely less than straightforward and the daughter someone used to the easy life.

Never trust anyone who makes up a double barrel surname.

Just read a bit in our paper where it stated the Charity Commission has published a highly critical report about the running of the Captain Tom Foundation , amongst other instances of misconduct by the veteran's daughter Hannah Ingram - Moore and her husband Colin , it stated that the proceeds of the book Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day would go to the foundation , whereas the proceeds of £1. 4 Million were paid into there own company Club Nook and up to now , no money have been paid into the charity ,  what a utter disgrace and they should hold there heads in shame  MM

[clangerman]

stones from the charity commission who if they really cared about abuse of funds their first port of call would be the outrageous wages drawn by heads of charities!

Without detracting in any way, shape or form from his efforts that earned him his knighthood, I'm not so sure. For a start, what's with this 'captain' bit? Surely he was retired and not from HM's RN.

He was army not RN. Many officers kept using their rank rather than reverting to plain Mr after they left the service, some still do.

Quite often the folk who do aren't entitled to.
