Psshhh.. I could raise that kind of money too if it was my super ability given to me by my last name.. 🙄 asking people for money would be a breeze..

@AuRevoir He didn't ask people for money. At 99 years old he walked with the aid of a walking frame to raise awareness and show support for the NHS and key workers. He hoped to raise £1000, but people here were so knocked out at the effort he made, £33M was raised.

The man was a legend and his efforts shouldn't be belittled.

@InterstellarButterfly 👀 or you could get the sarcasm and realize no one’s belittling anyone.. 👀 tis a joke.. about his name.. and exaggerating it into something it’s not.. belittling is attacking someone’s character or something they actually did.. like.. I’m just making a dumb joke.. saying it was able to happen based off a super natural phenomenon.. 🤔 super powers.. it’s not even realistic to use that to belittle someone.. 🤔 so I don’t see how u could even think as such.. 🤔

@AuRevoir He died less than an hour ago - it's just not funny.

@InterstellarButterfly I’m sorry.. for his loss.. and those close to him but I ain’t gunna pretend that I’m close to him.. 👀 and if he’s as great as you say he is I’m sure this joke wouldn’t offend him, just because he died doesn’t mean people want others to live in misery over them.. if they were actually great people they’d want the good parts of them to stay behind.. which includes smiles and laughter.. the ones who are hurting are the ones who actually knew the dude.. 👀 so unless he’s your grandpa I really don’t need a lecture from you about “what’s funny” 👀 because until you say something funny yourself, I ain’t going to trust your judgement on humor in the first place.. 👀

@InterstellarButterfly if you want to do anything right by Sir capt Tom Moore, you Will write to your local pm and tell them to pay the NHS staff more rather than sitting here telling people when they should make jokes. Make a difference. We let an old man raise a lot of money whilst ya clapped for the NHS.

Oh and for heavens sake don't vote tory
