A British WWII veteran issues a scathing verdict on the state of Britain today and his regrets about having defended what is now a collapsing, demoralized, half-occupied nation:
A 100-year-old veteran shocked the hosts of Good Morning Britain today by declaring that winning World War II ‘wasn’t worth it’ due to the state of the UK.
Alec Penstone told Adil Ray and Kate Garraway how he quit his factory job to sign up for the Royal Navy and fight for his country as soon as he came of age. The war hero recalled serving alongside close friends, many of whom lost their lives, and called himself ‘just a lucky one’ for having survived. Asked by Ms Garraway what Remembrance Sunday meant to him, the veteran said he felt that winning the war was ‘not worth’ how the country had turned out today.
‘My message is, I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones and all the hundreds of my friends who gave their lives, for what? The country of today? No, I’m sorry – but the sacrifice wasn’t worth the result of what it is now.’
When he was asked to clarify what he meant by Mr Ray, he continued: ‘What we fought for was our freedom, but now it’s a darn sight worse than when I fought for it.’
What was the point of defending Britain against the potential threat posed by 3 million Germans in order to turn around and meekly submit to the subsequent invasion of 3 million Indians, 2 million Pakistanis,
2.5 million Africans, and 500,000 Chinese?
What was the threat, that they might end up speaking the same language as their royal family, the Saxe-Coburg and Gothas, all spoke originally?
What a historical disaster. The sacrifice of all those young Englishmen absolutely wasn’t worth it. But perhaps the old English veteran can find some solace in the fact that even the Viking and Roman invaders were eventually sent home.
