🚨BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country: "Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result. I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."

"Hundreds of my friends gave their lives for what, the country of today? It wasn't worth it." 100-year-old veteran Alec Penstone shocks GMB hosts @kategarraway & @adilray ahead of Remembrance Day. He's 100% correct, too. The men of WW1&2 shouldn't have bothered‼️🇬🇧
