London: So, Ant Middleton, the ex-SAS TV guy, is throwing his hat in the ring to be the Mayor of London. He’s been pretty vocal about wanting to “cleanse” the city, which has stirred up quite a bit of chatter.
He’s not shy about sharing his thoughts on social media. Ant’s been posting about how he thinks the UK is “rotting from its core” and has some strong opinions about the current Mayor, Sadiq Khan, and Labour leader Kier Starmer. He believes it’s time for a change.
After getting the boot from his TV gig in 2021 due to some controversial tweets, he’s now living it up in Dubai. He claims he felt his voice was stifled back in the UK. But now, he’s ready to swap the TV spotlight for a political stage.
In his posts, he’s been pretty clear about what he means by “cleanse.” He’s talking about tackling crime, especially the violence that’s been a real issue in London. He wants to see fewer weapons on the streets and a safer environment for everyone.
Some folks on social media have pushed back on his choice of words, questioning what he really means. But Ant’s quick to clarify that he’s focused on making London a safer place, especially for women and young people.
Statistics show that London has its share of issues, with a significant number of vehicle thefts and reports of harassment. Ant’s aiming to address these problems head-on if he gets the chance to lead.
It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out. With his background and bold statements, he’s definitely shaking things up in the political arena.
