Ulitzer95 10,973 Posted December 20, 2020 Was having a chit chat with Nadine Dorries recently. Captain Tom Moore is a member of her local Tory association. Someone alert the leftie luvvies at the BBC. They'll instantly rescind the award then we won't have to hear about him every two bloody minutes. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,728 Posted December 20, 2020 That aside, the new footage of Captain Tom on the SPOTY, he's clearly gone downhill rather since summer. I don't think he'll last another year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised the Tories have not made more of that then - would have thought that be a good selling point for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had him down as too youthful to be a Tory. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine it's been terribly difficult having a number 1 single, being promoted to colonel, being knighted by the Queen and launching a line of gin. Like @Deathrace I'm also wondering if walking up and down your garden classifies as a sport and if it does, where can I sign up? I think Blankety-Blank counts as a competitive sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could be onto something - IMDB lists Sue Perkins, Amir Khan & Jimmy Carr, so they're obviously keeping the others quiet for a reason (The others are probably Lorraine Chase & Sandra Dickinson). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Burrow would have been a much better choice, being an actual sportsman and facing the adversity of MND, whereas Captain Tom will probably outlive him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,401 Posted January 1, 2021 It was always going to end this way. Raises 30-odd million (sort of), made an honorary colonel, scores a Number 1 single, made a knight of the realm, brings out a gin, wins the Helen Rollason Award at SPOTY...OF COURSE he was going on the Deathlist. Hopefully he's a one hit wonder and we can all move on from this strange cult ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man About The Forum 78 Posted January 1, 2021 No doubt when he dies his vile family will charge the media to view his open casket...

If he survives the year, which he probably will, then no one will will even remember him this time next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
