Sad news. People love a lovely person, that is clear.

Re: Sir Tom Passes Away

Goodnight Captain Tom Moore touched so many souls , its wonderful to think his legacy through his charitable work will live on , an incredible man .

The legacy? That a 100 year old man raised money and funds for the NHS when the incumbent government had not? Next time perhaps the Tories could fund the NHS properly instead of giving them a round of insincere applause?

Do you have to politicise every bloody thread on here?

No, but I think in this case it’s a valid point?

Why was Captain Tom Moore fund raising for the NHS?

What do you think his legacy should be?

I’m all ears.

He sort of did though, through NHS charities.

He wasn't raising oney for he NHS he was raising money for a /nhs affiliated charity that provides off duty facilities for nurses and stuff like that, like unofficial clubs.

you think if so,meone shat in your garden it would be a good reason to make a political comment. It gets boring and you aint convincing anybody.

Pedantic point taken although...

“NHS Charities
There are more than 240 NHS charities across the UK and most of them focus on helping our hospitals do more. Collectively these charities give £1 million every day to the NHS so that people can stay well for longer and get better faster. In recent years NHS charities have funded major capital projects, pioneering research and medical equipment at our hospitals, helping patients access the best possible care when they need it most.”

The 2 things are totally separate.

I think you are wrong. Core NHS spending is funded by the taxpayer. Here is an article explaining how the money raised by Sir Tom is being spent. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52758683

However, this is all irrelevant as this thread should not have been hijacked by a person wanting to make a political point. Thankfully it has backfired. RIP Sir TOM. His efforts will never be repeated.

RIP Tom Moore.

I think you're misinterpreting my observation for a supposed lack of respect? Captain Tom Moore deservedly received the plaudits from many for the reasons I've commented upon.

Cheers for the advice though.
