...the first time that I knew of Ant Middleton, it was when he climbed Everest and he shared that gruelling but spiritual experience and told so much of his life story...I really liked him as a person ...but then not so much in SAS, he was often pretty grim in that but that’s a huge concept of the show, I guess...anyway, he was probably my least favourite one in the episodes I watched...

I don't watch the show but anyone in the media that undermines or downplays Covid should face harsh consequences for doing so because people in the media can have an impact with what they say. He was given a platform and he used it terribly.
That's not even getting into the BLM stuff, which only racists typically take issue with. |

[Channel 4 is blasted for
'spineless surrender to the PC police' after sacking SAS Who Dares Wins star Ant Middleton over his criticism of BLM and Covid lockdown rules Ant Middleton declared Black Lives Matter protesters 'absolute scum' last June He also said he would ignore Covid advice, but later apologised for the comment Channel 4 axed the ex-commando, saying 'our views and values are not aligned' Piers Morgan said the decision was 'absurd,' saying Middleton was a 'war hero'] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...Middleton.html |

WHAT DID ANT MIDDLETON SAY ABOUT BLM?
On June 14th, Ant Middleton responded to a video, adding his views: “The extreme left against the extreme right. When did two wrongs make a right. It was only a matter of time. BLM and EDL are not welcome on our streets, absolute scum. What a great example you are to your future generation. Bravo.” The Channel 4 star later released an apology for his tweet, saying in a video: “I’d just like to clarify a tweet I’d put out at the weekend and deleted straight away once I’d re-read it and realised that it could cause offence. I put out a tweet or retweeted a video of the violence, the terror and chaos that was happening on the streets of London. “Within that tweet I mentioned the BLM and EDL and the word ‘scum’. At no point was I calling the BLM scum and comparing the two organisations. I want to make that really, really clear. The word scum was used to describe the people in the video that were violent, that were causing terror on the streets of London and setting a bad example for our future generations.” where are the lies? |
