But yes Captain Tom has done a lot of good, with the help of masses of publicity - the press not always being the villains.


The least they could do was lay on a couple of strippers for him Rolling with laughter Courtesy of The Sun

You have to remember that in his eyes he was just doing his bit by trying to raise £1,000 for the NHS, that he raised an awful lot more is not the point.

The guy deserves the praise for trying to do his bit and not for the money that he eventually raised - £28M?
There are lots of people just doing their bit, quietly without recognition, sometimes at great risk.

We can't knight all of them, but for sure some should get the greatest accolades that we can heap on them, some unfortunately posthumously. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Agreed, the public took him to their hearts but that doesn’t merit a knighthood. A few days earlier we were lauding a lady over 100 who’d survived the virus and in the following few days another elderly lady was climbing her stairs to raise money. Captain Tom just happened to be in the right place at the right time. All said and done it was a marvellous achievement but it was the publics generosity that made it a great one - after all, he still only walked the same distance
