They must have been taking tips from the family of that oul fella that walked a few laps off his house during Covid. They were making plenty of money from that charity.

Not sure the daughter ever had any great intentions for the "Captain Tom Foundation" or whatever the feck it was called. It was complete grift from the very beginning.
