A 100 Year Old Englishman reflects on whether it was worth it....

“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 that it is now.”

Last I heard Britain is still free. 

The soldiers who fought in WWII did what they were supposed to do. It is sad that he feels his country has changed but I bet you there are hundred year olds in Britain that think that everything is just fine.

He didn't actually say what it was about Great Brittian that he was disappointed with though at the end he takes a shot at Putin so he's clearly not taking the side of the racist oligarchs and other fucking useless rightwing fascists no matter how much some may want to spin his story that way. There's always some racist dipshit wetting their bed or crying in the closet at the scary foreigners who latch on to these stories and imagineer them into regret narratives of "if only we'd listened to the white supremacists and locked our borders to immigrants and asylum seekers we wouldn't have all these problems and there would be no crime and life would be wonderful all the time!".
