Looks like Ant's opinion has upset a few people.

When they attack the Cenotaph and other war memorials, is it a surprise that a military man has a dim view of them?

I’m surprised that anyone in the public eye even approaches the subject. Unless they say something in support of BLM it’s obvious they’ll be on the receiving end of abuse.

The guy is a hypocrite preaching about violence when he served 14 months for assaulting a police man and women.

Another example of tabloids dredging the depths to make a story out of nothing.

Don't know much about the bloke, but he is entitled to his own opinions, same as everyone else.

Pretty sure he didn't intend to be a spokesperson for the Armed Forces, but the gutter press have portrayed him as such. They've run with it, and asked opinions from high-level officers who are forced to deny any association with him or his beliefs lest they get hung out to dry.

Modern-day witch hunt.

Has he preached about violence? BLM attempted to burn the flag on the Cenotaph.

His job literally meant putting his life on the line. He will have lost friends and colleagues doing this countries dirty work. The Cenotaph is the most prominent and recognised memorial to dead servicemen.

Calling them scum for doing it is pretty tame IMO. It makes me angry and I was just sailor.

If the MOD cower to the fascist left cancel culture they will lose all respect like the Met did when they took the knee.

I expect these things of a service run by the likes of Cressida Dick but it horrors me we have similar ilk in the top brass of the military.

I don’t know Ant but he doesn’t strike me as a person that would be bothered what the “top brass” think. I doubt his bank manager or anyone going on who dares wins for the treatment would care either.

Wasn't just his BLM views though, was it? His advice to ignore Covid19 restrictions is not something they'd want to show support for either.

He comes across as somebody who isn't very bright and believes everything he reads on social media. He was bragging about how he was still shaking hands as the country went in to lockdown because he'd read that Covid wasn't serious.

Yup.

Spot on. I don't care who attempted to burn the flag on the cenotaph, what colour they are or what their cause is; that they attempted to do it makes them scum, in my opinion.

He tried to cancel culture the BLM protests and tried to cancel culture the official advice about Covid.

Fair's fair.
