Which is a real shame.
They are ripping usoff.
1. That he was the "honest person...trying to achieve something worthwhile" AND
2. That he was the sort of person who would not be worried that his own daughter/son-in-law appear to be using his foundation to rip off people giving money in his name
Captain Tom did some marvellous things. Not the money he raised-that just meant decent people paid more than their fair share of running the NHS, and less decent people paid less.
He gave us hope that there really is decency. He embodied the sacrifice of our NHS. He made us feel good about doing our bit, in return for the sacrifice he made. He really reflected the mood of the nation.
Not his fault what happens to our money after he has gone. But it does make the World look like the slightly tawdry place that he helped seem better.
And I really, really hope that, were he alive he would care.
Because I like my heroes to be exactly that. Heroes.
Turning in his grave meaning
turn (over) in (one's) grave. (redirected from turning in his grave) To (hypothetically) show enormous anger, disfavor, or regret for someone's actions or something that happens after one has died. That is, if someone were still alive, they would be greatly upset, angered, or disgusted by what has happened.
Taking that sentence at face value he may not be happy with them ( under statement ) but he would not disown them. Not uncommon for Family members to let the side down. Meow !
I dont believe anyone has said that he would disown his family.
Lets just say that if he was still alive, he would be very disappointed by their actions.
Probably overdue.

I really dont understand the point, meaning, or relevance of many of your posts.
This being one of them.
I am not sure you realise what you are saying.
As Phil said earlier, you were in favour of both sides of the argument.
I dont wish to have a completely pointless argument.
You just carry on.
