Maybe Captain Tom wasn't as cuddly and innocent as he seemed either... Or maybe the family are just ruthless grabbing grifting bastards...
I've seen no evidence to suggest that Tom Moore was in any way corrupt or less than he seemed, and if you have such evidence please produce it - or give your reasons for wishing to implicate him as 'not as cuddly and innocent as he seemed'.
On the other hand there were several rumours about Hannah Ingram-Moore being far too in love with celebrity and status from the early days of Tom's fundraising, and the handling of the charity's business since his death has raised eyebrows and suspicions in several observers, at least in terms of its incompetence. While I don't doubt that Tom did indeed intend the proceeds from some of his works to go to the family after his death, it's surely not beyond the wit of the executors to ensure that all such gifts were above board and squeaky clean. As for the 'spa', there seems to be no actual evidence of its purported purpose for use by the community or the disabled, and - again - the handling of the planning and construction appears to have been at best incompetent.
Thank goodness the £39m raised by Tom went straight to NHS Charities.
