Who are you accusing of racism? Me? The press?
That was not in my mind at all.
Maybe says more about you than me?0 -
It won’t raise the same amount as Captain Tom as;
1. It’s not original
2. It won’t be as popular a cause as helping the NHS when there’s a worldwide epidemic.
I wish the bloke good luck though.3 -

PS he didn't call anyone racist.
He said let's not turn this thread into a racial discussion.1 -

97% goes to the charity, 2% on fees and 1% to JG. Taken from a FactCheck article on the fundraiser. I couldn't see Colonel Tom raising such an amazing amount without the likes of Just Giving etc plus they have donated £100k to the NHS charity. I just Googled the RSPCA to see what percentage of their donations goes to actually helping animals and it's 81% with the rest on governance and securing further donations.MrWalker said:Just Giving being urged by The Sun to return the £308,000 they took from the Colonel.

Much rather the likes of Captain Sir Thomas Moore receiving a knighthood than some cronies that get them for donating to political parties or politicians themselves getting them. He has really made a difference to the mood of so many. One of the few happy stories during this Coronavirus pandemic and the amount raised for charity is incredible.0

Capt Sir Tom Moore to be knighted by Queen in personal ceremony
Captain Sir Tom Moore is to receive his knighthood from the Queen in his own personal ceremony.
The event to honour the 100-year-old, who raised more than £32m for NHS charities, will take place at Windsor Castle on Friday.
In May, Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a special nomination for the war veteran to be knighted.
Capt Sir Tom said he "could never have imagined this would happen" and that it would be "the most special of days".
Royal investitures were put on hold during the coronavirus pandemic with those scheduled to take place at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh in June and July postponed.
However, the Queen, who has been staying at Windsor during the lockdown, will carry out the official engagement in person.

The knighthood is an excellent way to show the nation's appreciation for the money he has raised. As others have noted, a more worthy recipient than many political honours.
I hope the charity are able to spend a portion of the funds Sir Tom has raised on something tangible (eg a patients' garden at a hospital, or a badly needed new GP surgery) which could be named after him, and be a lasting memorial which will outlive him. That could be the charity's thank you.2 -
I hope it will be televised live......I would love to watch it.👏0
