Sorry he feels that way, but pretty sure it was worth winning WW2, rather being under the yoke of a Fascist regime that slaughtered 6 million Jews, and millions more Gypsies, gays, and others they regarded as "inferior races" and "undesirables" such as those with disabilities...

If his comrades hadn’t made their sacrifice, and the UK had been invaded/occupied /conquered, those who had died wouldn't have had those "rows and rows of white stone"…

We’ll just forward a few decades when the country is majority Islam and see how that pans out.

I think your appraisal above will be accurate.
