I’d rather see an undertaking to support the NHS to the fullest of his party and the Government’s ability in the name of Sir Tom than make a hypocritical and thoroughly empty gesture of a hand clap. |

I won't be, I'll be in middle of my daily 7 miles but I will think of him. |

I will raise a glass to Tom but I will not be told by someone who shook hands with covid patients, encouraged the spread with eat out to help out and ignored scientific advice repeatedly. If Tom had been in charge I am sure like so many other countries he would have put people first rather than Nicholas Cummings. I will clap when Boris resigns! |

No a pointless exercise but if people want to that's fine I'd rather donate money to his foundation |

Indeed. If you are going to clap in his memory, fair enough - what he did is worthy of recognition.
But bear in mind that at least 50,000 people have died, who need not have died, because the man asking you to clap is an indecisive fuckwit, unwilling - when it mattered most - to act on the advice being given to him by medical and scientific experts.
He has blood on his hands - and no amount of him and his cabinet wanking on about what a great job they've all done with vaccines, is going to bring back a single person who has died because he thought going ahead with the Cheltenham Festival was more important than people dying. |

WHY OH WHY ?
This is about one man, A real hero. He didnt do it for himself, he did it for everyone. He didn't moan about his civil liberties or how hard done by he is. He Served his Country to the end. Not a bloody snowflake
Yet still the Haters of Boris are out in full swing. Why drag politics into it.
All this shite about how many have died. We know how many died, far too many, it is world wide, not just here If Boris imposed 100% lockdown, people still would moan.
Leave all the political fighting for another day
If you cannot give Captain Sir Tom 30 seconds of your time, you should be ashamed of yourself. |

No you shouldnt.
It's a personal decision..no one has the right to 'shame 'people into doing anything. |

I struggle with the sheer hypocrisy of the man who suggested it , who leads the party committed to defunding and selling off the NHS and who, along with his cabinet, have been singularly responsible for overwhelming the NHS with sick and dying patients rather than sticking to a clear course where instead they lied, vacillated and misled in the belief that strength and leadership would be perceived by echoing a wartime leader’s tone and expressions.
It is no surprise that England is way behind vaccinating carehome residents and older people, the ones like Sir Tom who have the best pensions.... Nothing the Tory leaders have done is designed to save lives, it’s about saving money belonging to themselves or big business or donors.
There are many ways to honour Sir Tom but joining in a clapfest that seeks to hide the culpability of the government’s actions is crass, meaningless and misguided. |

I won’t be.
a lovely guy who by fortune became a focus within this pandemic but I’ve seen a couple of hundred people killed by this virus, they where equally as lovely, down to earth and brave.
I feel the act has more to do with politics and people wanting to fill their Facebook timelines with a post to show they are in touch with a topic which given a few days they will have forgotten. |

I didn't clap and I am not ashamed of myself at all.
I appreciate that Sir Tom did a good thing.
But I am not a sheep to be told what to do
And I feel to clap for a 100 year old man who died of pneumonia due to his age, is a slap in the face for to the families of all the other Covid victims, many of them half Tom's age.
The clap should have been for Tom and ALL Covid victims.

Not a chance. That fat chancer Johnson can fuck right off. And do you not think he really should comb his fucking hair? And stop grinning. Even when paying his ultra insincere tribute to this decent man, he looked like a clown. I hate him more than I hated Thatch. At least she believed in something. |

Thank you Rupert Murdoch for the populist crap.
I was sad when i heard he'd passed away.
A gent, a war hero, an inspiration in difficult times.
I turned green when Boris, The Sun, and others wished to be associated with his gallantry

Excellent.. It seems that a tread about anything will turn into a Boris Bashing thread.
The people on here that have turned this thread into a Boris bashing are to blame and equality those who agree and add fuel to the flames
It's a thread to honour Captain Sir Tom Moore.
Leave the bashing to another thread and let this be in honour |

The thread wasn't an RIP thread so it is fine to chat on it. Please stop telling people what they can talk about.
However this section is meant to be to help people through the virus but all it seems to be is people arguing / telling people what they can and can't talk about / sneering at anyone who happens to have a different view and some turn into political threads.
This isn't pleasant at times, please lets have a bit of tolerance for other peoples views even if you don't agree with them and unless relevant to the thread lets leave the political arguments to the right forum |
