I think Adi makes the best point, that actually the number of ‘supporters’ probably represents families rather than individuals, but even that only gets us to around 4m out of 66m.

It’s just something that always surprises me. Last year for instance, ‘Children in Need’ raised an apparently ‘staggering’ £50.5m.

That figure makes Tom Moore’s achievement even greater imo, but is the figure of £50.5m raised by a population of 66m actually ‘staggering’?
Only in it’s paucity it could be argued.

It all just adds to confusion about the real nature of the ‘great British public’, who some on here (not me for once), have recently described as ‘untrustworthy’. Not sure about that, but £20m from a population of 66m seems disappointing to me. So, for me, Capt. Tom is indeed inspirational...not so sure about a large proportion of the British public.
