NickFerrariLBC oooh damage control

Why is Wallace wearing army camo?

Ginger is a complete arse🤥🐍💩

This is another reason to shut him up.

imho PrinceHarryIsATraitor is not 'boasting' the total killed but was very 'insensitive ' how he wrote about the kills. They were people but degraded as 'chess' pieces. XboxBunkerHarry had to 'boast' aboutt being a real soldier to squash rumors he was protected by Gurudas.

NickFerrariLBC Ben wallace shows that he hasn’t read the book and has no idea what he’s on about. Maybe start by putting uniform on correctly, your representing the military.

Given he didn't boast, wtf is this oaf on about?

What, they think the taliban don’t know who killed their guys? There guys are dead. There was military there. They know which countries military. They aren’t total fools. This is such a lame take.

He did not boast... Read it!

Nicky could not wait to asking him about this absolutely important subject 🤦‍♀️😅😅🤦‍♀️

Well the millions of people who have read the book apart Ben Wallace know that’s a lie, Harry wasn’t boasting, and Ben jumping on that bandwagon that the media have been riding is disgusting, he should be ashamed of himself.

he wasnt boasting , it may have been a mistake but it wasnt boasting

Did that fellow read the book ? Sounds like he read the tabloids

Funnily enough... he didn't boasting about anything.

Anyone saying that the whole sorry shower of them are COSPLAYERS on a jolly? Wake up people and reclaim DEMOCRACY!!

He didn't boast, which you would know if you'd heard or read him recounting it.

He’s wearing camo so be careful, he’s obviously highly trained. Knob.

Harry stating kill count is against military ethics- boasting or not. There's nothing supporting his claim about helping suicides. H worsened it w/ a dehumanizing chess pieces comment. The book should’ve gone through a clearance by MOD but H wanted to blindside his family/RF.

Ben Wallace hasn’t read the book.

Many, many authors have written books about their time in war and 'kills' etc. Nothing is said...Harry writes about the same though......

He did not boasts about the killings, please stop this

Everyone who has actually read the book knows the context and it was the OPPOSITE of boasting. The British media is so openly and unashamedly toxic

Well, once he's lost his Seat, he'll want to ensure Charlie don't object to his 'K'.......

Oh FFS! Most of us have the read the book by now! This faux outrage and spreading of disinformation needs to stop!

Wallace is a spineless little man who is easily persuaded by the royals

Shameful that your dragging your inaccurate representation of what harry said again shame on you Ferrari your a poor excuse of a journo.

'My words are not dangerous, but the spin on my words is dangerous'- Prince Harry. Ben Wallace should stick to what he knows, which is being a soldier and stay away from the propaganda and spin!!

At the very least it's bad taste to talk publicly about the number of people you have killed. It's also not the custom to do so in the UK armed forces. I've certainly never heard it before.

If only he'd read the book instead of just believing the deliberately malign misrepresentations of the frothy-mouthed right wing British press, he might not have embarrassed himself this way.

The first time he did it when the press praised it a few years back pre marriage, or the second time when they criticised it?

Perhaps if people actually read the book instead of the daily heil they wouldn't make themselves look completely stupid with statements like this.

They are just word's the only harm it did was to Harry and he should keep his opinions to himself

This whole English media 'let's get Harry and Meghan' thing has become tedious now

BWallaceMP is a pathetic,snivelling little man. He’s more interested in engaging in petty little squabbles rather than doing his actual job. He isn’t fit to be the defence secretary. LiarWallace WallyWallace ToriesOut

Why is he in military fatigues This government loves playing fancy dress!!

Ah Ben what about Charlie boy? Prince Charles accepted £1m from Osama Bin Laden's family - report

Oh look how to know a person took the word of the press interpretation instead of reading the book! Very disappointing of him! He should know better …… or he does & been told by the RF to tow the line 🤬🤬

Agree

Strange: Americans would praise his boastfulness as evidence of his heroism and bravery. At the very least some might demand proof of the body count.

Chris Kyle shot 255 (at least) people and is a hero. Harry mentions 25 and gets villified. So is killing people good if it is with a sniper rifle, but bad if it is with a helicopter?

As a reminder, PH revealed he killed insurgents in Afghanistan 10 years ago.

Joining the gaslighting brigade Wallace. Sold your soul to the Johnson cult. Sad.

Ben Wallace lied about his service in Northern Ireland. Another wannabe Rambo.

Oh do shut up about this PH story. If anything, you are generating more trouble for him by repeating it. It's old news

How many more days must we endure this played out story?

Yeah.... He didn't boast. That has already been established via past press and actual excerpts from his book. Tories pushing the accelerator on the culture wars now, with nothing else to run with...

Stop doing culture wars. Millions have read Spare & know this is a lie. Sad when a TV host can do better than UK’s defence minister
