Massive respect for staying true to yourself and not bowing to current political correctness and trends. Your integrity is unquestionable and admirable.
This is a case of "Waah! It's not fair i got sacked." Simple fact is he violated his employment contract bringing the tv company into disrepute and got dismissed as a result.
@@steveb60879 Works both ways in my opinion but I get where you are coming from. We are supposed to be able to speak freely but that clearly isn't the case, provided you are not defaming someone or hate speech. The world has gone mad.
Refreshing to see Ant holding true to his values 🙏 As ex-mil myself a lot of what he says actually reflects what’s going on in (especially) RAF recruitment and selection!
Ant is one of those very rare things in this modern world. He's a MAN of integrity. Watched 1 episode of SAS after ant was sacked, never again, thanks.
I had a similar conversation with a friend recently about being the one brave enough to raise your head above the parapet and say what most others think. It does unfortunately mean you make a target of yourself. Respect to Ant for being that guy.
More power to you Ant. I'm guessing you are one in a thousand of tv personalities who refused to go against your principles and values for the sake of fame and money. Respect to you. Keep it real.
The problem with Britain nowadays, is the silent majority’s views get overlooked, and any organised groups who play up for their own agendas get appeased. The powers that be have gone soft and are afraid to act strongly in case they lose votes etc. So the rest of us have to put up with all the nonsense that goes on here now. It’s not the Britain I grew up in. I miss how we were, not that long ago.
Well articulately put. I’ll be the first person to put my hands up ,and jumped on the “anti Ant” bandwagon. But watching this interview has changed my mind. There are two sides to every story, and he became a scapegoat for the media to allow themselves to follow their own agenda, he exercise’s his right to freedom of speech and isn’t afraid to . Fair play
Gives me hope that human beings like this still exist. Their moral compass can’t be meddled with, bought or sold. Not an easy road to journey but certainly an inspiring one. Never change dude, you’re the closest thing to Batman we have. 🤘
Ant, Ollie and Colin were great on the show. Colin especially, had done it all. Hostage, Hostage Rescuer (operation barras) Iraq, Afghanistan and N, Ireland undercover.
This is exactly what the world needs to get rid of the woke media, corporations and CEO’s who believe that pushing their agendas on everyone means more profits. They can sake you, they can ridicule you and even cancel you but they can’t change your beliefs and the truth of what they’re doing and why. Ant is true to himself and the rest of us will always support him. Go and kick ass in America and show them what life is really like.
Heck yes! That is integrity right there…. Ant is true to himself and didn’t bend to the pressure of the propaganda and the media. He told the truth, in the military we don’t care what race, gender, or religion a person is, as long as they meet the cut.🤙🏾
Still saddening that Ant served our country as an SBS Cpl, seeing stuff most probably couldn't handle and yet he's treated like a mug. Ant your better than these t***ts. I salute you and I'm happy your life continues!..
Love this bloke... Who Dares Wins was my absolute favourite program on TV ever when it felt raw and real... havent watched it since he left... tried to watch the next season but its was just naff so gave up after the first few episodes... IMO Minow films didn't know their market.
The best thing I ever heard was ant state about being a Cancel culture..in life now you must fit a profile and adapt to a culture. If you don't life will always be a challenge. There is no encouragement for accepting people for being who they are and working with them. Not against them
Just watched some of season 8 and it’s very clear the production company has cherry picked a bunch of folks with severe emotional issues and the DS are simply guidance counselors. Shame I really enjoyed the first season.
Good to hear someone say "if you're not fit for the job, you aint good enough no matter who you are".....fair play..mate... Yet he's in the wrong...clowns
I hope he knows about The Selection show on History Channel- it was all US special forces training a group of civilians just like SAS in green beret and SEAL training including diving equipment. He should call those guys up and collaborate!
I really respect Mr Middleton for his view he's been through selection and that's what's the show is based on . If you don't have the basic core ethics what's the point? If you can't cut it fuck off ! Yes I know it's for the telly and it's business but let's keep the core values
Crazy how all these executive in the tv industry interfering with the direction of things which just ruin them completely, The Witcher, Wheel of Time also read a rumour about high ups interfering with The Mandalorian. Probably so many more.
The program isn't the same without him. 'Mutiny' was the awesome like! Kinda miss him really. Wish he'd do something with someone else, and maybe get the gang back together for it.
Every trainer in Every Fire Brigade in the UK 🇬🇧 has this problem with recruits … some of them Are TRULY SHOCKINGLY BAD and pass out of training establishments posted to their Fire Stations and are riding Fire Appliances Today 🤷🏼♂️ Same in the Armed services and Police 😳
Ant is a man of honesty and integrity. He stands up for what he believes is right, and he has to be admired and respected. A legend of a man. I hope he's well 🙏
I like Middleton. He's not perfect but I think he's got some really good traits for a TV show. Like Clarkson has. They've got faults but I don't care! They entertain me.
I remember a paper trying to use him punching a police women to tarnish his character like they had exposed him, but in reality he had spoke about it in his book a year or two before !! and the general public lapped it up with out a second thought, like maybe this man was struggling with coming back from tour and trying to fit back in to normality.
Profit > Virtue is the nature of most businesses unfortunately. Profit is good and to be sought after, but maximising profit at the expense of doing the right thing or being virtuous is a massive issue.
Ant, you're a hero in many people's eyes! The media is an ass, you made them a lot of money. Just shows that they could not control you by any means. At least you remain true to your principles. Thankyou for all you have done to help people in this process, many have gone on to realise they are stronger than they thought. You are an honest & sincere human being. Blessings!
@@ch3micalromanc369 I don't think it's better but the show has become more about the contestants rather than the DS now he's not there. He was getting "too big" for the show, but that's not his own fault tbh.
Great interview ant ,I was never in the military but tried to join the navy,got turned down ( let’s say due to miscarriage of justice ) got myself a job as deckhand working on deep sea beam trawler ,worked to my absolute and physical capability’s and my ole school skipper hard as feck showed me no sympathy,I did my job and crew could depend on me if/when shite hits the fan or in fishing terms ,if did not comply with skippers orders when next ashore pack your scallop bag with ya kit No feckin about ,don’t wanna work fine ,you not part of crew ,ya don’t eat,ya sleep on deck,not getting paid , Ps mutiny series understand skippers sometime have to make decisions not for there own likings but for the best interests of crew but that scouse Chris not taking his watch repeatedly failing to understand by not doing so put not just himself but the lives of all onboard at risk , The skipper is basically god ,what he says goes ,do ya job if wanna argue every skipper I’ve worked with past 22 yrs is always more than happy to resolve current situation when ashore until then it not about individuals it about the whole crew Soz tad long mate ,all the best
I've only watched a couple of episodes of SAS since Ant Middleton left and it's absolute rubbish. The show is weak and the new lead DS comes across as a poser. a great show ruined
Morals? he slags off BLM for being annoyed about the murder of George Floyd and the EDL for trying to stop Islamic radicalism. Does he expect people to just put up with anything?

Did you just assume their gender? 😡
He can express what he likes I wouldn't wanna mess with him lol

Interfering with who they want to see at the end!! that says it all
A man of honour who will not deviate from his beliefs and will not be intimidated by soft boy production staff.
Ant is the freakin goat. He was the face of the program. Haven’t watched an episode since
Australian version of SAS Who Dares Wins is way better than the UK version. Maybe a competing Channel should screen those series.
Nothing but respect for this guy, didn’t bow down to nobody 👏
By stating his opinion he was fired.

I prefer real people too instead of celebrities that are on it.
Speaks a lot a sense let’s hope he’s back on the screen soon. Unfortunately reality TV is often scripted from the contestant selection and judging.
Top respect to you ant for giving your opinion
Great interview. I believe Ant totally. Big props to a big man....
Good work
Ant deserved better he made that show great.
Total RESPECT for Ant standing his ground & his ways👏👏............show's how manipulating TV shows can be 😡😡
Ant relationship/leadership with the recruitment's is what made the show.
respect ant, disgusting what these pricks do but we gotta live with it sadly
For me and probably quite a lot of people this whole situation has just gifts me with more respect for this man
Love the guy 🙏 I’ve just started watching the US show that was shot in New Zealand without Ant, and it doesn’t feel right. It’s not the same

Imagine getting a job because it ticked a box. I would have no self-respect. Plus it should be illegal.
This man has good morals. Personally I’d make him prime minister. Get this country of ours back on its feet!
Putting completely unsuitable people is power is what's crippled your country but sure, keep doing it.
