Alec Penstone, a 100-year-old Royal Navy veteran who swept the seas for mines during the D-Day landings, has issued a blistering indictment of modern Britain, saying flatly that winning the Second World War “wasn’t worth the result.” Appearing on “Good Morning Britain,” Penstone’s voice carried the weight of a century — and the heartbreak of a man who watched his comrades die for a freedom he now believes has been squandered. (not the only one. A 19 year-old girl used to walk home during the blitz in London. She often stopped to give aid along the way.  In the early 2000s, she said WW II was not worth the effort.)                                  https://www.yourdestinationnow.com/2025/11/100-year-old-d-day-vet-condemns-britain.html                       ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
