Kate Garraway and Adil Ray welcomed war veteran Alec Penstone on Good Morning Britain on Friday (November 7). Proudly wearing his medals, Alec told the hosts that he didn’t feel the sacrifice of World War II was “not worth” how the country has turned out today.

He told the hosts: “What we fought for was our freedom, but now it’s a darn sight worse than when I fought for it.” Kate interjected as she added: “Alec, I’m sorry you feel like that and I want you to know that all the generations that have come since, including me and my children, are so grateful for your bravery and all the other service personnel.”

But she was accused of talking to him like a child by both viewers at home and Talk TV host Kevin O’Sullivan. He fumed: “Kate Garraway and Adil Ray there patronising that war veteran, talking to him like a child.”

He then mimicked Kate’s apology and fumed: “He’s 100 years old! I hate it when people treat old people like they’re children. But what a powerful statement, what a powerful indictment of this country. I’ve never seen anything like it. Television, folks, can still produce extraordinary moments.”

Kevin continued: “All of these woke warriors, all of these politicians, all these tyrants who tell us what we can and cannot say, they should hang their heads in shame. This nonsense is not what Alec and his brave comrades fought for.”

People continued in his comments, with one user writing: “Thank you for saying that, I was thinking the same. The way she treated an elderly man and pushed his concerns aside as if his time had come and gone. We know what side of history GMB is on.”

Another wrote: “Agreed. Sick to death of people speaking to the older generation as if they are children. He’s 100 years old, fought for all of us and is spoken to like a 5 year old. Disgusting.”

Alec had described himself as “just a lucky one” for making it through after quitting his factory job to sign up for the Royal Navy. He told the hosts: “My message is, 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?” he said sadly.

Kate told him: “It’s our job now to make it the country that you fought for, and we will do.”
