    Wow what An amazing thing to do. Still serving his country at his age. Well done to him. There is kindness in this world. This corona virus has killed and made so many people sick. However, it has brought out something called kindness in most of us. That man should definitely be made a Sir for his actions. Well done

    It is a damning indictment on the British government that such funds are having to be raised at all. I say the same about any country with a health system that isn’t working.
