The Captain Tom grift continues

[shoulders]

Do you reckon we could get this published on the kindness page?

I want to see the Blankety Blank with Captain Tom on. I don't know why, I'm just curious to watch footage of him when he was younger.

I think the BBC released a 2 minute clip when he tells Wogan his name.

Yep that's the bit that in the C5 doc, although they only show about 10 seconds of it. He looks like a 70s sitcom bank manager.

[Senior Baiano]

By 2020, his look had evolved to sadistic teacher from Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'

[touchingcloth]

Where do I go to add kindness stories? I've just heard a heartwarming one about how Tom befriended and then married Charlotte so that he could provide much needed care and shelter to her and her daughter Dolores.

"Hannah built a facility to run her father's trust, but when the council had a look, they said 'demolish it, you *blank*'. Beryl Reid, what have you got?"

"Miserable grifting cunt, Terry."

*WOGAN MAKES A FACE*

During World War II when Captain Sir Tom was faced with a churchfull of unarmed Jews, he raised his weapon but he wasn't firing *blank*

Fingers crossed.

Sir Captain Tom Moore's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore has made another big loss at one of her five companies.

The devastating blow comes just days after her family was told it needed to tear down the luxury spa built in the grounds of their £1.2million home. Mrs Ingram-Moore, 53, and husband Colin were told they will have to demolish the facility for good after it was ruled that the outbuilding was erected illegally.

It has now been revealed that Mrs Ingram-Moore's consultancy company Whitaker Global Limited made more than £38,000 less profit last year. It's total assets went from £54,591 to £16,460 between 2022 and 2023, according to accounts she filed.

Captain Tom himself was a director of Whitaker Global when it was set up in January 2015 and was listed at Companies House as providing "management consultancy activities other than financial management', but he was removed from the position just two months later...

It's weird to report losing £38K in assets as "making more than £38K less profit". Especially when the former sounds like an actual loss, whereas the latter is a slow down in how quickly they are making money.

Was the £38K they lost the same price as a shit bathtub and an ugly building to house it in, by any chance?

[drummersaredeaf]

That was merely depreciation of the old boy's corpse.

[idunnosomename]

"Captain Tom himself" lol

[BlodwynPig]

Booted out and made to sleep in the garden

There is some ongoing moderation on the kindness is magic portal, as the total number is now divisible by three.

Im fascinated by the moderation policy as nothing new has been added, but some of the obvious piss-takes are still there so who or what is making the call on what to add/remove?

[idunnosomename]

basically an open goal for a tabloid to show how many stories there are that parallel bits of fictional media. although not many outlets have pointed out what the autobiography says about charity in its printed introduction.

thank goodness the Juggy crabbing kindness story is still there though

I may or may not have taken shoulders' prompt and run with it, which is why I'm checking every couple days to see if it cleared moderation.

[BlodwynPig]

I went with

"Kindness is an illusion, cast by man to cover his crimes against nature, Bert, Todmorton"

[poodlefaker]

At least Captain Tom kept his figure.

[Zero Gravitas]

Enough of the "hilarious" cup photoshops, doing it shiitily 500 times does not make it funny.

It just makes all of you look like in-joke twats.

[touchingcloth]

I'm trying to imagine how I'd feel if I lived to 100 and the equivalent of Cliff Richard popped in for a chat. Just minding my business and waiting for grave and in walks Dapper Laughs? Fate worse than death.

I am confused. Are the cups on the table photoshopped in, and if so why?

[Butchers Blind]

Looks like Ol' Tom's about to get involved in some tasty three way homo action with Richards and Abbot.

[touchingcloth]

To cover the Nazi memorabilia.

[idunnosomename]

always so funny how he looks like a clapped-out ventriloquist's dummy there. he clearly has no idea who those people are

imagining hannah and her husband dragging a dazed Tom by his legs up the aeroplane boarding stairs of their free BA flight to Barbados, his head hitting every step

It'll still be Cliff Richard.

[touchingcloth]

It'll still be Cliff Richard.

Getting so old he goes all the way round and back to 0 and his noncing becomes legal.

but enough about Cliff

[idunnosomename]

poor Cliff!

i have to say i walked past the entrance to the Blackpool Winter Gardens at like 4pm last week and there were all these wrinklies clawing at the doors to be let in. it was indeed a Cliff show at the Opera House. of course it wasn't due to start for like three hours

[Pavlov`s Dog`s Dad`s Dead]

You'd think one of these cunts would mix it up a bit and do a mural of him on Blankety Blank, but nah, let's just do poppies* and spitfires** s4c again

*not in first world war
** never in RAF
*** I mean, fuck, why not put him in a Black Panther beret while you're at it?

[TommyTurnips]

This cunt's grift house been demolished yet?

[shoulders]

If you illegally construct a building that goes beyond any granted planning permission then yes you should not only be forced to demolish it at your own expense but the building you live in too.
