“This Isn't Surprising” | 100-Year-Old WWII Veteran Says Victory “Wasn’t Worth It”

World War II veteran Alec Penstone, 100, shocked Good Morning Britain hosts by saying that winning the war “wasn’t worth it” given the state of modern Britain, reflecting on the loss of friends and expressing disappointment in the country today. Penstone, who joined the Royal Navy straight from his factory job, shared his concerns amid a new survey showing that national pride has plunged, with 80% of Britons seeing the nation as divided and nostalgia for the past rising across all age groups. The poll, highlighting tensions over immigration, culture, and identity politics under Sir Keir Starmer’s government, drew commentary from figures including Michael Gove and Reform UK MP Lee Anderson, who linked the decline in patriotism to societal and political factors, while Penstone urged younger generations to carry forward the values for which he and his peers fought.
