100-year-old D-Day hero Alec Penstone says: "What we fought for was our freedom, but now it's a darn sight worse than when I fought for it. I don't know what the hell we fought for and why we lost so many wonderful men. The country has gone to rack and ruin."
Hard to argue with him, isn't it?
A land once "fit for heroes" has been turned by successive politicians into a land fit only for zeroes: Borders wide open Sex offenders on the run A country bitterly divided A BBC that lies about Trump A Prime Minister who runs abroad from domestic trouble.
If this is how we treat our veterans, what's left of Remembrance Day?
Join me, Jon Gaunt as we ask: have our heroes been betrayed – and should we scrap Remembrance Day altogether?

| 0:00.0 | Good afternoon. Welcome to the John Gorn podcast. Let's scrap Remembrance Day. Just scrap it completely. |
| 0:10.1 | Because we didn't build a land fit for heroes. It's turned into a land fit for zeros. |
| 0:17.1 | And as this old veteran says, Britain's oldest poppy seller, a hundred years old, he says, Britain's worse than what we fought for. |
| 0:28.6 | That's a damning indictment of modern Britain. Do you agree? Let's get talking. Every November we say we will remember them. Twitter's been |
| 0:42.9 | full of it today and the sentiment is right, but has it now just become, I don't know, a performance. |
| 0:50.2 | And as the veterans get older and so soon there'll be no one from the First World War or indeed the Second World War, what's the point of continuing with it? |
| 1:02.5 | Would a better way of remembering these heroes, and I do believe they're heroes, would it be better to actually create a Britain they would be proud of? |
| 1:14.8 | Because this 100-year-old D-Day hero, Alex, I'm going to talk about more in a minute, |
| 1:21.0 | Alex, he says Britain is worse now than when he fought for it on the beaches of D-Day, on Normandy, you know, worse than his comrades. |
| 1:32.9 | He says the heroes are the ones who died in the conflict, not him. |
| 1:38.0 | They and we were all promised a land fit for heroes. |
| 1:43.0 | But it's turned out to be a land only for zeros. Our borders are |
| 1:48.0 | wide open. Look what's happening with the flip-flot warriors at Dover. 2,000 have got into the |
| 1:54.4 | country since Thursday. 2,000. and still they come. |
| 2:02.1 | How come we could keep Hitler out, |
| 2:04.6 | but we can't keep out these guys in robber dinghies? |
| 2:08.8 | What does that say about our society? |
| 2:10.9 | And our society is so fragmented, so divided. |
| 2:16.1 | How do we change that? So borders wide open, criminals roaming free, many of them |
| 2:23.1 | sex offenders let out by accident by idiots like Lammy. And then our top politician, our Prime |
| 2:31.8 | Minister, the first sign of any trouble, |
| 2:37.3 | whoof, he's fly away, was it pilot? |
