A war hero warns Brits — on live TV — that they are no longer free.
For once, a video has gone “viral” on social media platforms that actually deserves to be seen by everyone. It involves hundred-year-old Royal Navy and Arctic Convoy veteran Alec Penstone in a live appearance on Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain. Co-hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway intended to use Penstone as a pre–Armistice Day prop for conveying to the country’s viewing audience that corporate news reporters are just as patriotic as ordinary Brits who are thrown in jail for waving Union Jack flags near taxpayer-funded hotels housing child-grooming illegal aliens.
You could see how Ray, Garraway, and Good Morning Britain’s producers expected the conversation to go. They would introduce Penstone as a WWII hero (he is!). The co-hosts would talk about the sacrifices so many young Brits made during both world wars to preserve the U.K.’s independence and freedoms. By pretending to care about Penstone, the corporate news propagandists would then peel away some of the centenarian’s nobility and honor and paste those virtues onto themselves. It didn’t work out so well for the corporate talking heads.
When the co-hosts asked Penstone for his thoughts on Remembrance Day and what it should mean for the country, the humble veteran responded with heartbreaking sincerity: “I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones. All the hundreds of my friends, everybody else, who gave their lives. For what? The country of today. No, I’m sorry, the sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that it is now.”
Penstone’s words — tender, somber, masculine, and direct — caught the co-hosts completely off guard. Corporate news “journalist” Kate Garraway started blinking quickly as her internal programming directed her to express fake sympathy

I hope some Brits will read this and pass the article link around.
Tell the truth though the heavens may fall
You can probably be imprisoned in the UK for passing that link around.
Wow. A British hero with nothing to lose strikes a blow for British freedom.
I pray, if God wills me to reach a hundred, I can do as much for my country as he has in this one honest moment.
Edward VIII, the later Duke of Windsor who was forced to abdicate because he married an American divorcée, would never have permitted the Muzzies to invade Britain. Those who served with him, loved him.
The biological mechanism is survival of the fittest
The fit gene pool in the UK was eliminated by a century of wars.
The invaders from Africa and Pakistan are now the fittest and are taking over
Your Royals have failed you. And you have failed yourselves, Commie Brits. You voted out Churchill and you have been in a power spin downward since then. You are about 5000 ft AGL.
Alec Penstone?
Salute a hero. That knows how fake English public media was/is.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness come as the BBC is expected to apologise on Monday following concerns about impartiality, including how a speech by US President Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama.
* BBC director-general Tim Davie has resigned, admitting there had been “some mistakes” but that the resignation was “entirely his decision”;
*BBC News CEO Deborah Turness also resigned;
This came after concerns about the BBC’s impartiality were raised this week over how a speech by US President Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama;
Our own AP is not much better. But out government is much better under President Trump.
And the Brits have only themselves to blame.
