anytime anyone stands up to the official narrative chances are we'll be better off;

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.”.........more.........
