Still, hopefully we’ll all be wearing these at the weekend. Bargain.

Captain Tom’s family. The gift that keeps on giving.

They have pocketed £800k from the book deal plus £85k annual salary.

As well as the charity offices which have mysteriously turned into a garden spa pool and bbq area.

It’s always the ones you most suspect, isn’t it?

I don't mind the book money so much, unless of course they had said it would go to the charity. The other stuff just seems so obviously dodgy you have wonder how they thought it would go unnoticed. A sad sullying of what was a huge amount of good will from the public.

Captain Tom would be turning in his grave...very slowly.

Mostly sentimentality and chauvinism, TBH.

My children haven't so far insisted that I do something daft ”for charity”. But it can only be a matter of time. Please give generously.

As long as it doesn't involve cycling slowly round your garden.

Our leftpondian friends have a very useful word for this.

The grift that keeps on grifting.

It's like the film 'Wag the Dog' and the story of the shoe.... in shoot times people want something good to believe in, to hope for, invest-in, as such people become easy prey. It's easy to take the mickey when occasionally people get caught-out by shysters....

Her gaze challenges anyone who wants to laugh.
