Captain Sir Tom Moore

[maggiebee]

Have just been reading that his daughter has received £150,000 from the charity. Surely this can't be right?

Nice work if you can get it.

There's been a lot of dodgy dealings involving the "charity" money that Sir Tom raised.

[nicebloke1]

I'm sure Tom wouldnt mind.

[maggiebee]

Nicebloke1 - maybe Tom wouldn't mind, but what about all the people who made contributions to this "charity"?

[Peter Pedant]

No it isnt ( right)
she did ( receive it)
and it is being clawed back I think

Charity commission are investigating

Famous people can have cringe-making relations and this is one of them
Churchill - Lady Audrey ( Lady Disorderly)
Biden ( Hunna - just about to be indicted)
Carter - his drunken brother
Clinton, and er Monica
King Chazza - The Randy one, and Hazza
George VI - prince Henry and Prince George ( George was Albert remember)

David Miliband is on more than $1m a year as president of the charity International Rescue Committee

You should all be very clear that this charity is nothing to do with the £38 m that Captain Tom raised and the NHS received every penny of that money.

[Canary42]

They have to keep up with the Private Sector.

E.G. Southern Water Boss: Pocketed more than £1m in wages in the year 2020/21. On top of his £435,000-a-year salary, he was also handed a £550,900 bonus, meaning with pension payments and benefits, his overall pay package was a hefty £1.082m.

Maggiebee 22.04.I'm sure you will already know this but if not. Any money or gifts you give to charity, then you relinquish controll of such.

A warning not to cling to any old tosh in times of great stress maybe?

Has he replaced Jeff Tracy then??
In gerneral, not talking about Tom Mooore case.....No problem with paying a good salary for them that do a great job... you pay peanuts you get monkeys. Or do we just want rich people who can afford to do it for nothing

The Telegraph page is "not found".

I think the issue is more than salaries being paid from the funds raised. There is an ongoing enquiry into that, but meanwhile his daughter has been ordered to demolish a pool and spa built at their home allegedly using money from donations:

Murkier and murkier.

These things will happen when the great unwashed bang pots with spoons on their doorsteps and somebody spies a chance to monetise an old man going for a wee stroll.
