What are people's views on the recent scandals about him in the media? He was saying just now on GMB that he chose to leave of his own free will and wasn't sacked.
My personal opinion is that I don't see what he did wrong in his tweets. It was clear he was slamming the way the BLM protests AND EDL protests were going, not saying that the BLM movement was wrong as a movement.
I don't want to completely say the guy is perfect as he did assault quite badly the female police officer in 2013 and I don't see how he even got a career since that incident. But I agree with his comments said on GMB that the world is becoming pretty PC and health and safety measures being extreme, and it was hard and wrong in his eyes to do a scripted fake show when going in to the SAS is a serious dangerous un-PC world and not realistic. I also do think it's an insult to the military/SAS as a whole when soldiers have to do gruelling hard training and operations and they expect Ant to totally change the rules and training because it's not adhering to PC culture. I can totally see him saying he wanted to leave the show and Channel 4 spinning it to be they sacked him and he's the bad guy as it makes them look good for the PC culture. It's strange how he's filmed series since his BLM/EDL tweet and wasn't sacked then. In this case I can understand why he would be frustrated to suddenly be accused of being inappropriate with women when (unless I'm wrong) this has never been brought up before about him.
